Useful Feedback from users that have already installed it on their Treos:

1. The Mobile App. UI needs lot of improvements. Specially the standard Palm OS Edit functions should be provided (Cut, Copy, Paste).
2. Need to have support for 5-way navigation pad for the two buttons on the bottom of the screen. It is very annoying to press screen and then use the 5-way pad for other functions.
3. The screen keeps flickering on some views. Do not know why.
4. The Call # screen needs much improvement. The first digit you enter appear off the input window.
