Today, we unveiled the new Evernote for Windows Mobile (version 3.0.0.172). We’ve added new features, new views, and more options, all designed to make Evernote for Windows Mobile faster and easier to use.
For those unfamiliar with Evernote for Windows Mobile, this version lets you create text, ink, snapshot, and audio notes, as well as attach supported files, such as PDFs. It also allows you to quickly and easily browse and search through all the notes in your Evernote account.

Browser begone
Evernote for Windows Mobile is now a full client, which means that the browser no longer launches when searching, viewing, or editing notes. Everything now happens right inside the application, making the user experience significantly snappier.
Views, views, and more views
When browsing your notes and search results, you now have three view options: Thumbnails, Details, and List. Thumbnail view shows a small thumbnail of the note alongside the title and tags (see image above); Details shows the title, tags, and creation date; and List shows only shows the title.
You can now tailor your view to match the speed of your network connection. Speedy connections can go with Thumbnails, while slower connections can choose Details or (the lightening fast) List view. It’s up to you.
And more…
In addition, we made accessing Saved Searches much easier, and we simplified the interface to make it more user friendly. You can also choose whether you want Evernote to upload new notes over a cellular connection, or only via WiFi –great for those watching their cellular bandwidth usage. All that, on top of tons of fixes, tweaks, and enhancements.
Do I have a Windows Mobile phone?
We’ve noticed that a lot of people have Windows Mobile phones, but don’t know it. Visit the Microsoft Windows Mobile site to find out.

Still no news about a blackberry client ?

In the new WM edition in “Settings” it shows my account as “Free” and a limited amount of space available. I have a paid account.

Awesome update! That’s something I have been waiting for a loooong time. By the way: I got “Evernote received invalid update data” when trying to update from within EN4WM.
Now if you guys would give the Windows Desktop version a little hotkey for the “merge notes” function, two of my biggest gripes would be solved!
Keep up the great work

Evernote is fantastic. I use it daily. But I recently retired my old WinMob phone and have gone to a BlackBerry Curve. When will you develop a client for the BlackBerry?
Nick
You guys Rock!!!! Thanks, I was waiting with bated breath!
Chris
Yes, Blackberry, please?
Ray
Thank you!!!

yabba dabba doo!

Thanks!
Any chance offline storage is coming?
DJ
Thank you so much for realizing that there is life beyond the iPhone and the majority of mobile devices in the world are Windows Mobile.
Jake
Second vote for offline storage and inbuilt PDF support, if it doesnt exist in this version (haven’t had a chance to actually update yet)
nesman89
awesome. this is what i have been waiting for. the only issue i have found is …..
1. note created on windows client
2. i edit that note on windows mobile the note then becomes one big run on sentence and becoming one continous paragragph. once i edit the note within the mobile client it will then retain the formatting.
requests.
1 offline notes
2 geo location
i love evernote.

Is there any way to use Evernote for Windows Mobile without connecting to the Internet, just syncing with the desktop app? I am someone who has a windows mobile phone (Moto Q), but my wireless service is paid for by my employer who will not pay for a data package for me, thus they would not be too happy if I constantly used an app that accessed the Internet.
I am new to Evernote and am loving it. This would just make it that much better for me.
r8
As I understood, there’s no way to create new note if my device’s not connected to internet?
Oldest versions was still usable in offline mode. I could create notes without net and later just connect and upload it. Please, bring back this feature, you just killed your application for me and for other users without permanent net
Dustin
Does this version still support Windows Mobile 5? Four times I’ve tried to install, and each time it’s been unsuccessful.
Installation attempted on a Motorola Q with Verizon service, including data package.
Len
Blackberry, please!
JP
As if y’all have nothing to do, when you see your way clear, please throw a little love to the growing ranks of people who dig Android!
lonzollamas
Thank you so so so so so much!
Excelentes and so expected improvements, i also wonder the offline notes.
Thank you again
lonzollamas
and the possibility to edit notes would be great too
Jake
Every time I launch the new app, it spends several seconds logging in. It would be cool if, upon launch, it went straight to the “New Notes” screen, and perhaps logged in, in the background.
90% of the time I launch Evernote, its to quickly enter a voice, photo, or text note.
It’s a drag waiting for the login, especially when you don’t have reception.
Thanks! You guys truly rock and I am going to buy a subscription.
Prasant
I am relatively new to evernote, currently using your mac client. I just got an HTC Touch Pro the same day you released this client. I tried some of the functions, and it works great! Very fast and responsive. I think this will make me use the service more…
Thanks!
Christoph Wagner
Any plans for a Symbian 3 Version?
Planning to grab a E71 soon:)
Chris
Thanks very much!
lonzollamas
Let me correct myself. Notes can be edited. It’s really great. I also agree that the time it takes to login should be faster – it is a bit slow when you need to to post a note quickly. It would also great to be able to use the touch feature without having to use the scroll for neither the notes nor the notes view.
I hope to see them in the future, and again, thank you very much for the excellent and necessary imporvements.
arvidh
Thank you!!
Forrest
I’m downloading… hope it works on Windows Mobile 2003!
Bob
I’m also going to request a Blackberry version…
Paul Caplan
Another vote of thanks.
Another vote for quicker/background login and crucially ability to create notes offline.
Also why should the Apple lot have all the Geotagging fun. We WM flaneurs want to play too… please.
Filippo
Symbian, please!
In any case, thanks for Evernote. I use it since a month now, and cannot really live without it.
Will
It works fine on Windows Mobile 5. I have it installed on my HTC TyTn.
Muhammad Ooi Teong keat
Hi,
I’m very happy to receive this great news! Thank you very much!
Gilberto Padilha
I suppose it still doesn’t work on Windows Mobile 2003
Chris K
@lonzollamas – how were you able to edit a note? My “edit” menu option never activates; it is always disabled.
Anyone have check-boxes working on the WinMo version? Mine seem to disappear…
Chris K
My apologies. I can edit now. Cool!
Still no check-boxes and I’m seeing the “one big line” issue others noted in earlier comments. Getting closer though
Nick
Thank you!
It works fine on Samsung i710!
Peter Maddern
What are the chances of being able to combine text, ink, images and voice in the same note?
That would be awesomely awesome! (and would trump OneNote Mobile)
Peter

Beware on the update. I just updated the software because EverNote prompted me to and now it is giving the following error.
The network connection couldn’t be established.
My configuration is:
Hardware: HTC TyTn
Network: ATT 3G
OS: Windows Mobile 6
Evernote works fine when I turn on the wifi but have issues when it try to use the 3G network. To double check my 3G is up I click “sign up” and it brings up Evernote website.
The previous version worked fine. Is there a link to the older version?
Phil Libin
Peter,
You can currently combine text, images, voice and pdf files in the same note. You can’t combine ink with anything else yet.
Andy
Thank you. Editing on the device is much better now then through the browser. This is a significant update!
Another vote for offline notes! Please!!! This would make evernote almost perfect!
Great product!
Andy
Mario
Please, consider the configuration of a proxy in the windows mobile version.
Andy
After some more testing here’s what I found:
I encounter the “One big sentence”-bug (note created on desktop then edited on WinMob) too.
When there is an image or even a link in the note (created on the desktop), you can’t edit the note on WinMob.
I think these issues are somewhat crucial, especially the first one…
Andy
Mike
The view and edit features for online notes are a huge improvement. And I am happy to work ‘offline’ then use the Resume command to upload when I have reviewed/edited the note.
However, I just attempted to take a note in an underground room, as I have been able to do over the past few weeks. I couldn’t because it is now necessary to log on before Evernote will load. This is, I presume, an unintended restriction which reduces Evernote’s usefulness. Please restore in the next version.
Scott Blomquist
Exact same problem on exact same platform as Clark C. I want Evernote back.
Leo
How sad you still havent realized that there are far more (not-yet-) evernote users who own an symbian/nokia handset.So where is the Symbian-Version of Evernote f.c.s!?
Tyler Toone
This is a really nice software which I use on my laptop and my windows mobile device. I just noticed today though that if I create a note on my laptop that has bullet points or any other rich text content I cannot edit the note on my mobile phone device. I am using a Treo 700wx.
Any thoughts?
Alex
I second R8′s question: has anyone been able to use the new version while being offline? I can’t. Luckily, I kept the old version installed on my memory card (I installed the new one on internal memory by a fortunate mistake).
I also agree with many. 90%+ of the time I use Evernote is for writing a note. Why not create small, standalone modules, to insert a new note (one module per note type, perhaps) that loads instantly and does just that? no access to search, no uploading; just a quick note, and the options to SAVE, SAVE and CREATE NEW and CANCEL.
But feature request #1 is and will remain ’till it’s released: OFFLINE STORAGE OF ALL NOTES.

Evernote is a brilliant application – but the new version for Windows Mobile (3.0.0.172) is completely unusable if you’re not in reach of an internet connection (e.g. on the tube or in the middle of nowhere).
The other new developments are great, but the lack of offline capability seems to be a step backwards.
Please make the old version available until a new version can fix this shortcoming.
Otherwise, what an incredible product – Evernote rocks!
moog
BlackBerry client please!
Ryan
Great product. Ability to create a quick note offline would be appreciated.
