This sounds great!
Is there a way to run this standalone?
Tried to run the setup but it requires a valid RR directory.

It needs RR to run because all the control inputs are through RR. It might be possible to make it standalone but what would the inputs be?

Well, FreePhone had an early version that worked stand alone. That is, it looked as being inside rr with skin and all, but run without having RR acctually installed.

I don't know how much work it is, but since I am not running RR...

I havent been able to get this to work.

THis is the copy of the debug when loading from menu.skin
2/22/2009 2:36:45 PM: Plugin Manager: Error loading (menu.skin): mobilephone(ActiveX component can't create object, check spelling of plugin, or its is COM registration missing.)

THis is the copy of the debug when loading from plugin manager
2/22/2009 2:36:44 PM: Plugin Manager: Plugin Found: MobilePhone(.NET) plugin found but will be unable to create (most likely NOT registered)[skipped].

Here is a copy of the registration from command prompt

C:\Program Files\RideRunner\Plugins\MobilePhone>regasm.exe MobilePhone.dll /tlb:
MobilePhone.tlb
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Assembly Registration Utility 2.0.50727.42
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1998-2004. All rights reserved.

Types registered successfully
Assembly exported to 'C:\Program Files\RideRunner\Plugins\MobilePhone\MobilePhon
e.tlb', and the type library was registered successfully

C:\Program Files\RideRunner\Plugins\MobilePhone>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

SO it is registered successfully, but still cant get RR to load it.
Any thoughts..

Freefone sucked because it as an external standalone (sorry). I would recommend keeping this a plugin so we can create some suitable looking skins.

Best thing is a skinnable application. If you want to play with words :-)

Sorry no plans at the moment to make it stand alone. Lots still to do to make it a finished dll first.

Thunderstick: Pm'd you with an idea how to fix your problem but would like it tried before posting

OK I get it to register not sure what happened differently but I just registered again as I have been and it works.
some what anyway.
Here is a screenshot of what I get when I open the skin.
I get one green light, not sure what it means and a few labels that say false.
Anyway, not able to use the phone through BT yet. Any more ideas?

sorry still believe a plugin is the way to go. I can display phone info on any screen then and create buttons on any screen to interact with the phone plugin.
External app, no can do.
