Chapura Connects Palm Treo 650 Smartphone Call Log with Microsoft Outlook Journal for Comprehensive Contact Management

Chapura®, Inc., an innovator of synchronization technology, today released Call Log+™ for the Palm® Treo™ 650 smartphone which runs on the Palm OS® platform, to help improve the accuracy of the customer’s contact management by more effectively using the information captured in the built-in call log and offering additional conversation-tracking tools. Call Log+ software lets Treo 650 owners take notes on their smartphone during or after a phone call and keep track of these conversations on their PC desktop by synchronizing the call log and associated notes with Outlook Journal entries, linking them to the corresponding Outlook Contacts. Call Log+ for the Treo 650 facilitates the call history component of contact management, while other of Chapura’s award-winning software products offer synchronization of Outlook Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Notes.

The Palm Treo 650 smartphone is the highest-rated converged device in the USA, according to Strategy Analytics, a global research and consulting company. Connecting the Treo 650 with Microsoft Outlook, a desktop personal information manager used by an estimated 130 million people, taps into the ever-growing market of people using smartphones as a way manage their business and personal lives while on the go.

Details on Call Log+ for the Palm Treo 650 Smartphone
Keeping track of when calls happened, with whom they took place, and what was discussed helps busy professionals keep up with important details that can result in more rewarding relationships with customers and associates. Call Log+ is intuitive and simple to use. Reliable synchronization between Call Log+ on the smartphone and Outlook Journal on the desktop happens behind the scenes and offers easy access to phone call and contact information at any time.

The Call Log+ application on the Treo 650 reads and displays the built-in, carrier-specific call log database for incoming, outgoing and missed phone calls, including name, number, date, time, duration and roaming status.
Mapping a phone Favorites button or hardware button to Call Log+ easily integrates the application into everyday use.
Tapping on a phone number in Call Log+ for the Treo 650 lets the customer create or edit a note about a current or past phone conversation and automatically attaches the note to that call.

Synchronization of Call Log+ for the Treo 650 with the PC creates or updates an Outlook Journal entry for each call and links the entry to the corresponding Outlook Contact. The call then appears on that linked contact’s Activities list for easy tracking of past phone conversations.

“Chapura’s commitment to customer service and reliable synchronization software makes Call Log+ a must-have application for Palm Treo 650 smartphone owners who want extra help keeping track of important phone conversations,” said Paul Leeper, director of developer relations and services, Palm, Inc. “Palm is excited to see Chapura offer this additional functionality to their customers who use their Treo 650 as an integral part of getting business done everyday and staying connected with important people and information.”

“While the Palm Treo 650 smartphone is a valuable mobile communication tool, Call Log+ is the link between mobility and productivity when it comes to call log management,” said Keith Ellenberg, president of Chapura. “Chapura is delighted to tell Treo 650 owners that they can now include their call management as an accurate part of contact management. Anyone can take notes about calls on the Treo 650 but Call Log+ automatically associates conversation notes with the phone numbers in the call log and contacts in Outlook.”
