but I’m going to write it anyway…. “I think this is the best phone I’ve ever owned”. It’s about a device running Windows Mobile. Would I say it was “good”… hrrm… not sure… “okay” at least. It would be “very good” if syncing with my Linux desktop worked remotely easily.
One thing i love is that from the home screen (Welcome screen in WM5 language) you can start typing and you can choose to either dial that number, or choose from the search of your address book that just happened. Awesome. No jumping through menus just to search the address book!
If anyone knows how to make the in-built email client not do outlook style “include message in reply” and instead actually quote the message, i’d be rather grateful.
fring is also a rather cool IM/VoIP app that I can see myself making a fair bit of use of when on a WiFi network around the place (and IM on the go over GPRS).
I just have to go and get a 3G SIM card to make data work…
Welcome to the world of feeling dirty but knowing your dirt is better than anybody elses dirt :-)
On a Mobile 5 PDA – Outlook email – Menu – Tools – Options – Message Tab -> delselect When replying to email include body
I am deeply in love with my Treo 750, and feel mildly dirty for it.
When you get a 3G SIM, have a look at funambol for syncing. All of their stuff is open source, and the Windows Mobile client works great in WM5. I’m syncing with evolution at home and at work without any problems.
Also, if you don’t want to run your own funambol server, check out scheduleworld.
