<font style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif" size="2">I have been using
a
Nokia phone ever since I can remember and I used to love the 'Screened
Number' features the classic Nokia phones allowed. However, as I kept
upgrading my phone, I noticed that such a feature was never there (Nokia
E63 now), even on the high-end phones. The need for a blacklisting
software led me to some commercial S60 software (I won't mention the
names though).</font><br>
<br>
<font style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif" size="2">I find it odd
saying, but I have expertise
in this field! I have been using such software for two - three years now on a variety of S60 phones, and I know what features should be
there. Specifically, I feel the need for :</font><br>
<br>
<font style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif" size="2">1. Blacklist - Calls you don't want to attend at all. </font><br>
<font style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif" size="2"><br>2. Whitelist -
This feature is not usually
found in many commercial software also, but it is required. There are many-a-times you want to receive
calls only from a few numbers and automatically reject the other ones.</font> If you blacklist some numbers, that works only for the contacts that are you in your phone book. Otherwise for unknown numbers, the phone does alert you. When you want to attend calls only from a few numbers, then Blacklisted numbers don't do justice.<br>
<br>
<font style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif" size="2">3. Support for
text
messages screening - Again, whitelist and blacklist. I think the
blacklist/ whitelist for voice calls should be different from text
messages. This again I base on personal experience. </font><br>
<font style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif" size="2"><br>4. Time based
call
rejecting - Set it up and forget!<br></font><font style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif" size="2"><br>If any developer is interested in mentoring
this, please let
me know. I think this is a must have feature. Coupled with the answering
machine function, it can work out wonderfully.</font><br>
