i think other os besides windows mobile will lose out on the searching of contact function. Especially if u got many contacts, u will understand

[Guest NPNT]

The SE is the worst of the 3.

750 is e worse....

square screen, almost 97% of my s/w it can't load.

 

would u pay over a 1,000 for something tat didn't even support A2DP, not to say not even a wireless 'B'?

i think nokia N80 can do betta than it.

[archenemy]

838pro is my choice...

 

but if you ask me which device i want now...i will say asus P525...

[PreluDe]

d838 =dopod 838pro.

 

 

--------------------------------

 

actually i would prefer something running on 400mhz with wifi, GPS & runs on window mobile 5.

 

In the past I have used 3 different types of operating system PDA - Palm O/S , Symbian 60 series O/S smartphones & Pocket PC O/S phones.

Although Pocket PC hangs more often than the rest (coz its Microsoft), the plus factor is my words , excel & powerpoints documents can be read flawlessly on my PDA. Internet pages too can be viewed 99% of the time unlike the other PDAs. Furthermore, the latest Pocket PC version - Window mobile 5 allows all database to be stored in the flash Rom similar to Palm PDAs. So when all batteries go flat , no information is lost.

At least 400mhz is necessary to runs Skype.

 

I would prefer either dopod P800W or HP Ipaq hw6965. But must remember to squeeze the vendor for extra GPS maps (Malaysia & Thailand & Spore)

y cant it be dopod 838?

 

well, was afraid the person might have it confused with the D810

[tt6389]

yesterday I went to Courts at bt timah & notice they have sales on HP Ipaq RW6828 selling at $799 on cash & no contract. Extremely good deal for a 400mHz PDA with Wifi, but too bad no GPS.

you tried voice conferencing with it? Is it smooth & audible?

 

[LollyPoP]

i still rem e 1st time i tried voice on skype was when 818pro was 1st launch in SG.

other party was in taiwan, of cos there's slight lag during start-up & during e 1st few seconds of e call. no problem after tat.

oh, i'm was on .11G when on skype.

 

skype is out for mi now, we've been testing e Windows LIVE Messenger for few mths.

it's not same as e pocket MSN tat comes with e default programs.

WLM is actually for WM6/WM5SE aka 'CrossBow' but was leaked out later.

it's actually way way much betta than e default pocket MSN.

it can send/recevie voice clips, emotions icons, files, recevie nudge.

con is: it actually sync all my MSN contacts into my contacts. -.-

 

send mi a PM with yr e-mail add if u wan it.

i dun mind sharing it with u.

Windows Live messenger for pocket pc is not available in Microsoft download site yet isn't it? How you get it? Also you sure it can live audio conferencing like Skype using pocket pc?

 

[LollyPoP]

as I mention, it's SUPPOSED to be for the next OS, but was leaked out.

& no, it's not avaliable @ MS webby now, & i dun think it'll be in e future.

such programs will be stored in ex.Rom in yr device, not d/l.

 

it does support voice clip, not voice conferencing.

u r able to save e individual voice clips.

 

so, it's working fine on yrs?
