My new favourite thing

In the spirit of Oprah’s new favourite thing, the ability to join a conference call from the mobile version of Communicator is just awesome… no more fiddling around trying to write down access numbers; pin numbers or participant codes as OCS will call you back and sign you into the conf call… fantastic.  

Download Microsoft Office Communicator R2 for Smartphones and Pocket PC.

Of course Johann has already blogged along with some other pretty screen shots and other hot fixes… I need to start saving for a 6.5 phone now.

Homescreen support for new homescreens in Windows Mobile 6.5+ phones.

Integration within the phone dialer for Windows Mobile 6.5+ phones.

Communicator Mobile 2007 R2 now recognizes when the phone is roaming, and by default does not sign in to roaming networks.

Additional support for joining conference calls from a Windows Mobile appointment. To do this, press Menu, and then press Join Conference.

Enables users to log on with a username of the format user@example.com, in addition to domain\user.

When placing Call via Work calls, callbacks are now automatically accepted.

Microsoft Installer (MSI) installation on Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) fails. In this situation, users should install Communicator Mobile 2007 R2 by using a .Cab installation.

AT&T FUZE devices set for High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) connection cannot handle voice and data at the same time. This causes Call via Work calls to fail unless the device is reverted to 3rd Generation (3G) by disabling HSDPA – surely this isn’t a problem for Telstra?
