Birthdays is a sweet, FREE plug-in for the Today Screen on Windows Mobile phones, which displays upcoming birthdays and anniversaries from the people on your contact list. Of course, this means that you actually have to put the information in with the contact details, but your friends and family will thank you for remembering them on their special day.

The display can be customized to display birthdays, anniversaries or both, look forward (and back) xx days and even show the age of the person (my friends are thanking me for having this disabled). You can also set it in Verbose or Brief mode - in verbose mode, the plugin shows you dates and names of persons who have birthdays and/or anniversaries. In brief mode, the plugin shows only the number of persons who have birthdays and/or anniversaries. If you tap the plugin, the window with details is displayed.

Get more information and download at Freeware PocketPC or from the original author, Pavel Cvrcek. To set up the options for the Birthdays plugin on your phone, after you have downloaded and installed the program, go to (single click on):

• START (upper left corner)
• Settings
• Today
• Select the Items Tab (bottom of the screen)
• Check Birthdays
• Select Options (on the right) and then input your preferences
