8/12 I'd say. I forgot to add that I haven't been able to get PGP to run
yet either. To be honest I've yet to find any software (including
Microsoft) that does specify WM5

Well, that's a personal thing :-) I miss my Radio Times TV Guide.

Interesting. I live in Italy and I think that the "MDA pro" is actually
only available with "qwertz" keyboard and in german language, with
simlock or netlock that you will have the future possibility to take
off by paying 99,50 euro to T-Mobile.

The i-mate Jasjar, instead, is already available on Expansys with
"qwerty" keyboard and in worldwide english, and withour simlock nor
netlock.

You live in german, right?

I hope that they will solve them soon because I think that TomTom
CityMaps is a very good program to associate to GPS.
Does Route66 work instead?

My plug...

We run a software store powered by Handango, and until the end of 2005 you
can have 15% in your purchases (but only once, so you better put all
software you need in your shopping cart:
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=4923

But, he's the trick - for Pocket PC only we have a vesion of Handango
InHand, and you have another 15% discount code valid until end of September
(they're not cumulative):
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=4958

My suggestion? Check what softwares you need and see if they are listed on
InHand. Buying from InHand you get a discount to use once. Then get the
other software you can't find on InHand with the other discount - or use the
discount later in the year when you need it.

I saw your Geekzone/Handango software catalogue for Windows Mobile and
I found it very good.

Can you tell me how many titles, in percentage, can I find in InHand
restect to the full list in the Geekzone/Handango website?
