Papyrus 1.3 Now Available!!

My biggest complaint about the built-in s60 calendar is that it takes forever to enter something into the calendar. There are just too many things to enter to add to the calendar. With other platforms you can just click on a time and add the description. That is how it should work.

The thing that really bugs me the most is the fact that the only decent option for reminding yourself of a date is Meeting? No alarm for a quick memo etc, and if only you could categorize your appointments.

Also I would have liked to be able to customise the level of information that shows on the homescreen, again if the calendar function could have been categorised then I could have just had it so that I had only certain types of appointments on the homescreen.

I wonder if in the future can Papyrus integrate with the homescreen or I have I missed something so far?

My gripe is similar to Mobilelifer’s. I just set a ToDo instead of a Meeting, as what I was doing was more of an actual “To Do”, and set it to alarm at a certain time. Problem is…when you look at that day in the calendar day view, it just shows you there IS a to do, but doesn’t list the time. If I want it to list with a time, I need to make it an appointment instead, which bugs me, because that is not really what it is.

I like what I see in Papyrus, but unless it can sync OTA with Exchange, like the built-in MailForExchange, I would never use it. Unfortunately, I’m tied to Exchange.

My biggest complaint is that you cannot change the type of calendar entry. I often work with notes and meetings and to-do’s, and sometimes it would be necessary to make a note a meeting.

Also I didn’t find the possibility to configure when meetings should appear on standby screen. I really don’t want to see them about a week before the meeting, one day before would be enough.

I think the calendar brings good basic functionality, but the more you use it, the more it lacks.

hi,

As an ex-S80 user my biggest problem in the S60 calendar is that there is no “repeating monthly on day”. This is unbelievable! Nearly all my meetings are on the Xth day of the month, not on a date. :(

The feature that bugs me most in the integrated calendar is the lack of ability to display the age of each birthday/anniversary entry automatically. This feature is implemented in S40-devices, so why can’t it be in S60-devices.

Mostly, I miss the categories (and colors applied to them). I love to watch the month or week view and get an idea what’s comming ahead without having to actually open each day.

But the most annoying feature is that the build in calendar doesn’t recognize 0:01-23:59 events as full day events itself. So instead of automaticaly making a note out of them, I have an event that overlaps all my other events. This is very much annoying.

Symbian calendar just plain sucks, and the fact that a basic function such as syncing categories is not available in mail for exchange and or regular calendar/task/contact app is an embarrassment to Symbian.

Just this week I realized that you can not copy a calender event from one day and apply it to another, you must create a whole new entry. I know it’s kind of nitpicky, but that’s the first gripe that came to mind!

My biggest complaint is that you can’t actually set the (start/end) date of the event visually (e.g. by clicking the day in the month or week view after having already started the input of the event). How do i know if the day i input in numbers isn’t a holiday? I like to see the whole picture, not the stripped numbers (and yes, i prefer analogue clock, not the digital one ;) ).

My biggest complaint about the built-in calendar app is that to set a time when an event is happening, it has to be classed as a ‘meeting’ instead of classing it as something else or being able to set the Memo to happen between a designated time.
It would be great to be able to sort different events that happen during the day under something other than a ‘Meeting’ in time intervals to help ‘plan the day’ better.

To me, one of the biggest disadvanages of built-in S60 calendar is week view, it’s kind of clumsy. I’d love it to be a week grid-view, just as it can be seen in one of the Papyrus screenshots. It’s my every evening custom to look through my notes and meetings for the next few days or next week, it just makes me more calm to know what’s to come. If I had that feature in the built-in organiser, I’d definitely save much more time and peace just by choosing “week grid-view” and taking a look at _one_ screen showing me _all_ days of the current week. And then just another click – and I’m looking through my next week. Cool, isn’t it? :)

Best regards,

Please, please can I sort my tasks.
Please don’t give arbitrary due dates to my untimed tasks.

And where are my freaking categories?

Almost forgot! I can’t see the whole day in the week view, so i have to scroll every week up&down to see if i have anything appointed in the morning or in the evening. As i recall, Papyrus shows the whole days in week view.

My biggest complaint is a lack of birthday tracking function. That would be very convenient. Looks like papyrus has taken care of that though.

My biggest complaint is that there isn’t an option in the calendar to silence, or vibrate the phone in the event options. I mean seriously it’s a smartphone with profiles. It seems to me that making the phone switch profiles as a calendar event should have been implemented.

Sadly Papyrus hasn’t implemented yet either… but it is on the requested feature list!

Thanks so much for commenting, everyone! I’ve randomly selected a few commenters to get their copy of Papyrus, you should be getting an email with your reg. code soon.

I’ve also passed these comments along to my contacts at S60, and highly suggest you guys post them up on the Feature Wishlist.

Hi Ricky

Thanks for selecting my comment. I have only just noticed the mail from papyrus with my free license, It unfortunately ended up in the junk folder but I noticed before I deleted. apologies for the late reply.

Thanks again Mobilelifer
