Sorry i know nothing about PDA's.
Basically i need a Windows based PDA which has the following features:
MS Word, Excel (& Access would be nice but not essential).
Large screen but a smallish handheld device.
Keyboard (preferable a flip/slide out one).
Comes with a cradle or has the option for a cradle for quick data transfer to pc.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm sure the K-JAM aka Wizard comes to most people's mind.
There's a forum dedicated to this device- check it out
...and on T-Mobile that would be the MDA Vario.

Hello, guys.
in short: i recieved a T-mobile MDA compact pocket pc as a gift. It has german windows installed and it's all i know about it..
problem is that i barely understand german :roll:
i want to upgrade to an english version and get info about this pocket pc (what is the ROM? software, hardware info), but in pocket pc's software i'm pretty newbie. i've tried to search through this forum for information and i've tried several manuals, but all instalations ends up with "please reconnect your pocket pc"
please post any threads, web manuals or anything, where can i find needed information . thanks in advance...
It sounds like you're on the right track - but go here for the full guide (for EXE ROMs only):
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
And for the purposes of Windows Mobile PDAs, consider ROMs to be the 'operating system file', a file from which a version of Windows Mobile can be installed onto your PDA.
thanks looks like should work, i'll try it soon :]
i have the 8125(mda) and i just got the SP5M(SDA), i have a whole bunch of programs for 8125(mda). Can i use the same programs on the sda????
for example: 1) spb pocket plus
2) microsoft voice command
3)omap clock
4)nesterj
and i would like to know, what is the story, what program do i look for? can i use programs for "windows mobile pocket pc" on "for smartphone". or will the sda blow up??
Unfortunately you can't. Your 8125 is based a Pocket PC based version of WM5, and the SP5M is based on the smartphone version of WM5. The two OS's are very different in how they operate, and for this reason the software is not interchangable.
The software for the SP5M must be made for the "Smartphone edition of WM5", smartphone being the key word.
hey guys (and girls where aplicable),
i got a question (a sorta dumb one). If a smartphone lik the iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger or the HTC Vox have windows mobile 6 standard does that mean they run regular windows mobile programs or smartphone versions? See the Cheeta/treo 750 has windows mobile standard ed. and is called a smartphone but it uses regular PPC programs, the other two mentioned before have the same wm6 but no touch screen. so i was wondering if that made a diference in the phones capabilities to use PPC Progs? I appreciate any answers as i am greatly puzzled and intregued buy this.
With WM6 they dispensed with the term "smartphone" in favour of WM 6 Standard. Too many non Windows Mobile phones were being called "smart phones" as well as PPC phones.
WM Standard has no support for touch screens and many PPC apps will not run on it.
WM Pro has touchscreens.
understanding versions...
so lemmie go over this... a ppc with a touch screen is said to run WM6 pro, a ppc without a touch screen is said to run wm6 standard the "smartphone" version. so what of the vox? it has all the capabilities of a full sized PPC without the touch screen so where would it and the ipaq 514 fit in? Because correct me if i'm wrong but dont they offer features like MS Office editing and production verus the others whose ability is limited to viewing or is it the WM6 platform that actually enables this?
You're right, its just a functionality of WM6. Any smartphone (i.e. non-Touch screen device) running WM6 has those same office capabilities and will be running WM6 Standard, not Professional.
As far as I know the two WM6 are one same core of the same OS but..
In the PPC version there is more advanced setup in the menus wich setup is locked in the Srtandard by default.
For example in the Standard there is no way to change the IP of the wi-fi manually.
And in the pocket pc there is some dll's, responsible for touchscreen operation .
yes but....
i do believe you might be correct on everything but the I.P setup for standard. i have an sda running wm6 and i can manually setup my wifi and change certain settings in the network config. Also the HP ipaq 514 that i've been researching also has the same features. see my big thing is i love he compact size of the smart phone but need the capabilities of the PPC. It wold be great if i could get the best of both. i know the O2 XDA stealth has that exact combo but they are hard to find and kinda pricey for thier age.
There are separate SDKs for Standard and Pro, so I think the differences run a little deeper.
well what to do?
well i guess my final questions then wuld be what kind of phone are:-
1/ O2's xda stealth
2/ HP's Ipaq 514
Hi all,
I have to setup a bunch of windows HTC mobile phones remotely, and talking the users thru the steps and loading the correct software is extremely frustrating and time consuming.
I do have remote access to their PC's, so ideally it would be great to just remote the PC and see their device that is attached via USB to the PC.
Does anyone know if there is some software that will allow me to remote the PDA and take control from a PC?
Thanks in advance.
my mobiler is a freeware app that does exactly that.
http://www.mymobiler.com/
if you have to install it on many mobiles you may want to just cook your own rom with the software you want already built into it.
there is a program called my mobilizer... I think. while you have control of the customers computer, have them connect the device then install the program. I use this when im setting up my phone. so much easier.
ill try to get a link soon
lman
Thanks guys, My Mobiler looks perfect going to test it now on my own device.
If you can remote to thier PCs, use the MS powertoy available for mobiles. Found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...7aa-ab28-6a2b006edfe9&displaylang=en#filelist
CE Remote Display. Just make sure all your users with PDAs have it installed on thier PC and the PDA. Lets you "drive" the PDA while it's connected via USB (or bluetooth and wireless I think but have never used those).

I found at zack-zack.eu a device for windows CE users ...
(http://www.zack-zack.eu/html/detail/zackzack.html?itemId=2782)
I think it's can be very useful (because of the low price!) but I don't know if I can install other programs like Pocket Informant, OperaMobile Browser...
Can anybody help me?
Best Regards SavageDeath
I have one and like the size and weight but performance is lacking in terms of web speed; the 128m ram size limits its usfullness to only the simplest pages. Additionally it doesn't run all Pocket PC or WinCE programs. Lastly the physical keyboard has stopped working. Can still use the on-screen keyboard and usb port; but no clue as to what happen. IDon't think its a software problem. Plan to take it apart soon to see if there is a loose connection.
those netbooks are great for dos games
