It installs on the Nokia N73 but only uses half of the screen.

Sort of sits in the top left hand side with white space to the right and bottom.

The select and back buttons also dont work in all the windows. e.g. if I select a cache and click back after reading its info i cant go back to the main menu.

Hope this helps. Looks like a great application.

I'll have a build up specifically for this device by the end of the day. It should work a lot better for you.
I'd be interested in anything that can utilise my bluetooth GPS on my phone.
Thanks for the feature request!

The PPQuery 0.1.2 beta release is now available at ppquery.com, with support for the following devices:
  • LG CU500 and TU500 (experimental)
  • Motorola V3
  • Motorola V360
  • Nokia 6280
  • Nokia N73
  • Samsung SGH-A701
  • Sony-Ericsson K800i
  • Sony-Ericsson W810i
Support for the LG devices is marked experimental because solid information about this device from a development perspective is proving especially hard to come by.

That said, I would not be surprised to learn of bugs on any of these devices at this early stage of development. Please give the program a try and let me know how it works for you!

Homedg, I'm still working on support for the BlackBerry Pearl. Because BlackBerries require Java applications to be specially packaged in proprietary COD format (instead of the standard JAR format supported by other phones), it will take some research for me to figure out if it's possible to dynamically generate a COD file containing your pocket query data on demand.

Seems to be working fine...screen is full size now as well.

Only thing that seems not to be working is the "cache name search".

I cant get into that area at all.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

I've just deployed version 0.1.3, in which the cache name search feature is now implemented. Should help to avoid some confusion. :)

Its working like a dream.

If anything I think a smaller font would be better but thats me.

Thanks for the work you have done with this.

Yup, I agree. Right now, I'm using each device's built-in font, which (on most phones anyway) is a single, fixed size. In time, I'll replace this with a bitmapped font that I can control the size of precisely to suit each device.

Any idea on whether the Sony-Ericsson K610i will be supported?

Thanx.

Jardry.
