Nice review Neil. I have been looking forward to this ever since the Smartphone Edition was released earlier in the year. I installed it upon it's release but I'm sad to say it only lasted a week and I won't be buying a license just yet.

It still feels far from a finished product with too many glaring bugs for my liking. The list view perpetually showed "Today" as being Monday of the current week (the same as week view). This mean, when it actually got to, say, Wednesday, Wednesdays appointments were off the bottom of the screen.

I also got some major re-draw problems whenever the SIP was activated and then minimized with the whole bottom half of the screen (where the SIP had been) failing to redraw. There are even silly usability issues. In the Task List view, if I tick the box next to a task I expect it to mark it as complete. If I tapped it by mistake, I can just tap it again to mark it as incomplete. Why does Calendar Touch ask me am I sure I want to mark it complete? This makes ticking off items a two stage process. If I had made a mistake, correcting it would only be a one step process any way so it is introducing an extra step for zero benefit.

There were little things like this all the way through that just made it a hugely frustrating experience. Then, when I went to remove it, I could find no way of setting my soft-menu keys back to the default. Removing the app certainly didn't do it so I was left with a soft-key pointing to an app that didn't exist. In the end, I re-installed the demo and told it I didn't want to re-map my soft keys. This sorted it out.

It could be a really good App but I think it will be version 1.2 or 1.3 before I try again.
