This application can easily process 300 to 400 Text Votes over a 5 minute period. The gating factor for this application is the speed which your Network Provider can forward SMS Text messages to the phone running SMS Voter.

This application is also available for the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone and will be posted shortly on http://www.pocketgear.com/ - watch this space...
