Please log in for more thread options I've sold my pocket pc and went back to a palm (tx). I could not take it
much longer. Software is very unstable ( Setting an morning alarm the
device froze multiple times it went off in the morning) Networking is a
nightmare to setup and for activesync a school graduate in his spare
time could do a better job.
If you are looking for agenda, mail, tasks and expense management stick
with Palm. Avantgo is perfect for reading the morning news on the plane,
no hassle with folding papers in such a way they are not in your fellow
passengers face. The tx was a breeze to setup, getting it to sync with a
PC, internet via wireless connection and bluetooth via mobile phone.
Extensive status reporting for each sync session.
And the tx is way cheaper than most pocket pc's too.
