A few years ago, I reviewed a neat little Today Plug-in I found after I started using a Samsung i700 on the VzW network. The original review, seen here, is about 3 years old; but its still pertinant, as most of the functionality you see there is still there. The application is simply awesome.� I won’t use a PPC Phone (soon to be WM6 Professional) Device without Phone Dashboard on it.

But wait..! There’s more!

I recently got a note from Noah over at Hudson Mobile that he is releasing version 2.0 of Phone Dashboard:

The Big News: Phone Dashboard 2.0 Released!
We know it has been a while, but Hudson Mobile is very pleased to announce the availability of Phone Dashboard 2.0, the leading utility for Windows Mobile-based phones.

Phone Dashboard helps save you money because it keeps you from going over your monthly minutes. Phone Dashboard also saves you time by allowing you to easily view, sort and export your calling history for expense tracking.

A recent review in Pocket PC Magazine called Phone Dashboard “darn near perfect“ and we think you’ll agree!

�Phone Dashboard allows you to:

• Keep track of your phone and text message usage at a glance on your Today Screen
• Configure alerts based on your cell phone plan so you are warned of potential overage charges
• Simplify expense tracking by exporting your phone’s call log to a spreadsheet
• Easily review your past call history through graphs and a flexible call log
• Check the current network status and signal strength
• See if you are headed for a large monthly bill with projected usage statistics

With release 2.0, we extend Phone Dashboard to track SMS and MMS message usage as well as call usage - a feature that has been in popular demand. Other new features include more options to customize your phone plans including flexible weekends and call rounding, and improved logging, usability and performance. Now more than ever, Phone Dashboard gives you a complete picture of your phone usage.

For a limited time, Phone Dashboard 2.0 is available at a 25% discount from the already low retail price of $14.99. Just put Phone Dashboard in your cart on Handango (link here) and enter promotional code 88ABC493.

If you are a current, registered user of Phone Dashboard, the upgrade can be downloaded for free and your existing registration code will continue to work. (instructions here) We recommend that all users upgrade to the latest software version.

If you are a user of IP Dashboard, and have since purchased a Windows Mobile phone, now is a great time to trial Phone Dashboard. You can download a risk-free trial of Phone Dashboard here.
