Two weeks into a Smart Phone (Razr Maxx). Went to Tasker on Day 4. Google Tasker Profiles for examples of the stuff you can do. I used to program in several languages, so expected no problem. However, the documentation on some actions (and phones?) is sketchy, so you may have to experiment to get results. Right now, I'm stuck on creating Widgets!!!
HTH
Application called My Profiles Lite comes pretty close and in some ways is better. I'm using smart actions now but tempted everyday to move back to My Profiles lite or paid.
