ListPro might be the ticket if you don't want to use tasks.

the internal tasks app does allow you to change the priority (High, normal,
low). If you need more priorities, you could also use catagories (create
catagories like 'Priority 1', 'Priority 2', etc)..

My two cents...

Why not look at Pocket Informant?
It allows a number of enhancements, you can download a manual, and you can
get a 1 month trial. It is a much enhanced calendar and has a lot of other
things but may be more than you are looking for.
Priorities can be A -Z and 0 - 99. In the setup options Tasks Colors is one
option- it has status1 background, staus 2 background, low priority
background, high priority background, overdue text colour, completed text
colour and a few others.

Thanks very much for that information

Does it replace Pocket Outlook?

The website has a pretty good explanation of it, and there is the manual
too.
It supplements the Diary it doesn't replace it, you can still view most
things by going to the standard program.

I second that opinion on Pocket Informant. It's an excellent program that
handles schedules, tasks, contacts and more in an extremely customizable
fashion.

I like the idea of colour coding tasks - for example a red background
for really urgent stuff.

Looks like a good app.

thanks

Agreed Listpro is an excellent product.

Open up a task in Edit mode. The second line is "Priority." Set it to
High/Med/Low. Medium is the default.

When you add a new task, the second line in the data entry screen is
"Priority", which can be set to High, Normal or low.

I like Agenda Fusion - I find it operates faster on my IPAQ2210
