Contact Notes Truncated in WM6!!! - General Topics

I have a Titan (PPC6800) with WM6. I just noticed the notes in the contacts are truncated with this message:
[Text truncated on device. Modification of these items on the device will overwrite full text on desktop.]
The text was cutoff afteer about 6Kb notes.
This wasn't happening on my older Smartphone Audiovox SMT5600 Anyone experince this? Is it the new ActiveSync or WM6 orVista? Any Idea how to fix this?

6Kb? A note or a novel? ;o)
edit: OK to be helpful, if you create a link in your Contact notes to a document such as a word doc, a note, or a spreadsheet, like this example you might be able to avoid long notes, and truncation
file://\Storage%20Card\someDirectory\someFile.doc
This will be converted to a hyperlink if you add a space after the end of your document's name, and when clicked on will open PIE, then the corresponding application for you, and the document containing your notes. I've done some experimentation and it has to be entered in exactly the way I have shown in order to work, even though it is a mix of forward slashes and backslashes

contact notes truncated
Hello HTC mobile pc users...
Good news...
I use contact notes everyday. if you edit a contact note that has been truncated on your device (mines HTC TyTn that I got from Vodafone which now runs wm6satin...) you will loose the full notes on your pc... a real bloody nuisance... not to mention having to use Phatnotes which isn't great cause you have to sync it to your outlook on the pc to get your updated notes on your device...
Halleluiah!!! I have found an easy way to resolve the problem... it will apparently work on wm5 and I know it works on my wm6satin HTC TyTn...
Basically ActiveSync will only allow the pocket pc to accept 5k of data - most annoying... the below procedure will allow you to allocate as much memory to the contact notes on your pocket pc as you need... obviously if your equipment melts I cannot be held responsible - the procedure works for me on my device and I have a lot of text in my contact notes...
Download free PHM RegEdit (find it on Google)...
HKEY Current User
\software
\Microsoft
\ActiveSync
\Body truncation = 20480 decimal
When you first open this line the decimal reading will be 5120... I multiplied this number x4 which = 20480 which gives me plenty of contact note space and has not reduced my device memory by any noticeable amount... you can find out what you need but as a rough guide 15k = 400 lines of contact note text and you are still left with 25% still available if you opt for 20480 decimal (20K)...
I think it is better to hard reset the device... install the PHM RegEdit from the cab file you copied to your microcard... then sync using ActiveSync... and hey presto... all your notes are on your HTC...
I have noticed on the HKEY_CURRENT_USER and the HKEY LOCAL MACHINE I get the line "RegPersisted 1 (0X000001)" At the time of writing this does not affect the phone in any way. If someone knows what this means they might contribute... Thanks...
Regards,
Jay

You can find it @ a.b.warez.pocketpc
or pay 40U$.
Sorry, I'm a newbie with newsgroups.... Could u help me setup the newsgroup for a.b.warez.pocketpc? Any help would be greatly appreciated..... thanks....
I've got the same problem. I would love to check that newsgroup as well but I do not find a newsserver containing that group.
Could somebody please post the address of a newsserver that is able to check that group?
Thanks a lot...
how to enter news groups
get the address of the new group server of your isp
use a newreader program like outlook express or something else
scann for usegroups sellect the newgroup you want and enter it
news groups is not really http based
well are not as a rule anyway
I am living in a students home with LAN-connection to the net. So there is no dial-up ISP. The newsserver of my university does not accept the above mentioned group.
Is there a kind of workaround to read this group?
News groups
For all you newbees; Let me address this message first;
:!: It's illegal to download software from newsgroups! :!:
But I can't stop you from doing so... :twisted:
the best way to read newsgroups is to take 5 steps;
1; Get a program that reads alt.binaries posts; like grabit and install the progam.
2; Get a newsserver account or check your ISP. (mostly they also have access to newsgroups but are limited.)
like;
I use www.usenet.com
www.easynews.com
www.usenetserver.com
www.giganews.com
www.supernews.com
www.astraweb.com
www.usenetmonster.com
www.100proofnews.com
(get a account that gives you unlimited download. Should cost you about 15 U$ a month.)
3; then find a post message site like (www.nfonews.com)where groups tell other people what they are posting and where you can find the files. (like the Voice Command from M$) :lol:
Alot of Dutchies are using FTD. (This is a program)
But there are numerious sites that will give you this info.
4; Once you have the info where you can find your ‘points of interest’, start your grabber software and subscribe your news account info.
Then find the location. E.g; alt.binaries.warez.pocketpc
Grabber finds the location and you can start downloading your ‘points of interest’.
Most files are wrapped as *.rar files. So you need to have a rar program to unpack the files. There are also *.par files. you also need those files if the program is brokendown in hunderds of *.rar files. *.par files are a sort of repair files. Let say you mis a couple of *.rar files of LOTR dvd. (yes you can find everything) Mostly the uploader will place also *.par files to repair the lost *rar files. So you still have the full program you are downloading.
5; The last thing you have to do is buy a bigger hard disk. B/c you are constantly downloading new things.. 120gb is not big.

Hope this helps you a little bit more on your quest for golden software treasures..

Word Mobile 6 opening / closing file very slow!

Usually when I create a document under Word mobile 5 containing 10,000 words, 100k size, opening and closing the file was a breeze within 2 seconds.
Ever since I created document under Word Mobile 6 with the same amount of words, opening and closing the file took ages, over 10 seconds which was very disturbing. The problem excarbates for the worse when I use Format like Bold, Italized, Underline, bulletings.
Word documents created under Word Mobile 5 were still fast when you tried to open/close them under Word Mobile 6. It seems the delay problem occurs only when you create a new word document using Word Mobile 6.
Is this the problem with every WM6 or it is just Jwright version of Crossbow?
Would this be rectified in the final version of WM6?
Any Solutions?
At the moment I am using note whenever I am in the meeting where speed for opening and closing different files in getting different data is imperative. Once the meeting is over, I just copy the words inside the notes and paste it into Word Mobile document.
Thank you.
Sorry I forgot to mention
Jwright ROM Version: 2.02.00WWE
Rom date:03/10/07
radio: 1.13.00
Protocol ver: 42.47.P8
ExtROM version: 2.03.05 WWE
Ok I also have tried DarkForce ROM as well today. and resulted with similar delay.
The problem got worse if you have documents full of numbers, multiplications, symbols.
Try to copy and paste the following calculation onto Word Mobile 6.
and then try to open them, it's going to take few seconds. And try to paste them multiple times until the file itself is over 50k. It will take you LONG time before the file opens up.
It took 1sec under Word Mobile 5, and instantenously under Word PPC2003.

It seems to be a feature of WM6 rather than a particular ROM, I've no idea if it will be rectified in a final version.
Ok I found a solution to the delay.
I just have to copy a word document created from PocketPC 2003. Beam it to Windows Mobile 6 PPC.
and then treat that document as template to create copy. and then use that copy to write new documents which resulting in smaller file size and a much more responsive speed!!! It's really a dramatic difference. you should try it.

Can the WM2003 word document create tables then?
Yes, entirely, and it's a lot faster as well!!
I made a table using Word Document on my laptop. Transferred the file onto Dopod 900 WM6.
The file was 26k and it took: 3sec to open up under WM6.
I then created a copy document from the existing WM2003 template, and I pasted the table onto it from WM6 document file. It resulted in only 2k file size and instanteneous opened up. UNBELIEVABLE RESULTS!!

First steps with WM5 for Palm User (on French)

Here is my post on French
and here a quick translation :
Well, the step is again crossed. I say again because I had made an attempt with Ipaq a few years ago and had quickly made a return behind .
But this time Palm with Tréo (750) under WM5 help me to cross the river.
Here thus the report of my first steps of beginner under WM5.
I write this Post because I will have agreed to find some contribution for beginners.
Certain points will seem to you very basic and even useless but if I had had them under the hand that would have helped me a lot to begin.
Installation.
Relatively simple to install.
But a problem was obvious dice the beginning: how to recover my data managed by PalmDesktop (8 years of appointments and contacts).
Well I needed to invest . I bought PocketCopy from Chapura. Main issue at the beginning. The transfer of my appointments did not pass. An e-mail with the log to the support of Chapura and a very complete response in 12 hours which allowed me to solve it (I really recommand this support ), but sad to have to invest 25$ just for a one shot.
Until there all goes well but I very quickly realize that synchronization is not highly reliable . (very often my PC does not recognize any more my Tréo). After bad issues I downloaded ActiveSync V4.5 (it is the preceding one which is delivered out of standard) and since that seems more stable.
After the installation you have on your PC an application which opens when you connect the Tréo to the cable.
It is possible on a simple click to explore ithe Tréo (simpler than under PalmOs)
Two ways of installing a program:
• downloading a exe file, while launching it on PC and while validating its installation on the PDA,
• downloading a .CAB file, copy it in the MyDocument folder in the PDA and while launching it in the PDA (with the file explorer of the PDA)
First steps:
Dammed, why PalmOne did customise its Tréo without taking account of the advantages of ease of use of these past Tréo models?
Where are the icons? Where are the buttons which make it possible to telephone, to send a SMS in some clicks without stylus?
Well, very quickly learned how to appreciate the menu to start and the button X which closes the programs (or rather very often minimizes them) but at this stage I am still very disappointed.
Finally I quickly wanted to recreate me a Tréo 680 like.
To build me MY Tréo.
The calendar: it is as bad as the one of PalmOs. Thus I wanted to choose a good PIM. I tested PocketInformant, Agenda Fusion 8.07, diary one, Agendus (never been able to install it). For the moment I retain PocketInformant.
Then I wanted to recreate me a true telephone keyboard with simple buttons (mute, wait, etc).
I found a track here. I then downloaded the excellent Memmaid program and all these accessories (I could recreate me menu with my own shortcuts and the possibility to simply make softreset (and hardware) without opening the small trap door which hides the button reset of which I fear brittleness).
With Memmaid I was able to unsinstall the standard phone’s functions of Tréo 750 in order to install anew Dialer which I have chosen here. Be careful the manipulations are a little it “hot” and you must all backup well before .Danger !!!
I maid so many manipulations of this kind that I completely crashed my Tréo 750 (no more telephone, no more synch). I have to make a complete reset (more than an Hardware Reset) (pressing lengthily on the red button + button reset then pad upwards)
All returned perfectly in the order. It is really well done.
Other customization:
There exists as a native a tool of assistance to the writing of the words which proposes at the end of some letters the appearance of words to be clicked. Quite practical except that the dictionary of words is incremented automatically even for not desired words (careful with the confidentiality) or with mis-spellt words. I found a small freeware very practical Dictionary Editor and well done to remove or add words.
Another point: it is not possible (or I did not find) to protect a note as under PalmOs what posed Pb to me to protect from the leading notes. I thus installed another small freeware well fact which manages and makes safe the significant data: cryptocard.
Here I am now. At your disposal for your questions.
Have a nice Sunday

manila2d (3d) calendar scrolling ???

Hello,
Is there somebody here that could make a script or an app. to make the calendar-line of manila2d or even 3d showing cycling information about to calendar.
So, instead of showing a single today (all day event) item, cycling between all the events of that day.
That way we can see al the info about the whole day on the home screen.
Greetz
It is a very good idea !
Hello,
Manila specialists.
Is it possible?
It would make manilla much more useful for me.
Thanks.
Greetz
I don't think it's possible for 2d and I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned in the 2d thread. 3d may be a different story, in fact, I think that is one advantage of 3d is vertical scrolling on the main screen to view multiple appointment s and days . anyhow 3d is still early in development so give it some time.
Hello,
I think it must be possible to change the registrykey that manila reads and displays for the calendar line.
I am thinking about an app. or script that reads the info in the calenderapp and writes it item by item in that registrykey.
If possible it ignores past items. That way we see all the actual info of the day cycling on one single line
ive been wondering about this, i like the ability to scroll on opal.
Hello,
Manila2d displays the info in "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Appointments\HomeScreen]"
When a edit the values in the keys manually, manila displays that immediatly.
So, when someone can get the info out of the calendarapp from WM we can display all the info we want (cycling).
Unfortunately i can't do the job because i don't know how to do it.
Greetz
Nice idea !
Do you know where data of calendar are stored ?
And what about the cycling ? On/OFF by launching an app, or automatic each x minutes ?
would someone please move this to Q&A?

No, I dont know where data is stored.
I prefer a cycling time of a few seconds, maybe 10 or so.
Maybe the next upcoming event a little longer or next event and time - another event and time - next event and time - another event and time - ...
Even better with adaptable times and time peroid to show (even next days).
I think we can use the following registry :
HKCR\System\State\Appointments
In this we can find Event, HomeScreen, List & Next.
After it will be necessary to translate REG_BINARY times into real times !
YE
Keep Working:d
Ok 1st return :
the active key for the display is Event -> Subject
Don't know what is the key HomeScreen.
And the Next key is for the...next event !
But can't find all next events !
And not sure of the way to make this :
#1 Mortscript with automatic event all x seconds
#2 .Net 3.5 with GUI to program what you want but how to make it refresh, a Timer would be nice but it means the app must be in the background...=> memory.
My knowledge on .Net is very old (1.1) and I must be refreshed !
Edit : One good path to have what you want : http://www.developer.com/ws/pc/print.php/10947_3556186_1
Maybe there is something better on the 3.5, if you know it, please tell me
would be very interested in this also. keep looking please.

Mortscript should work. Something similar has been done for cycling weather data display in the network provider name on the home screen.

The problem with MortSprit is to access the pim datas because the registry store only the next event and if you want to scroll for all day or 2,3 or week it's impossible....arf...maybe possible but I'm not strong enaught.
Maybe I can do it with .Net 3.5 but I may need some help with some tweaks.....and must format my PC because VS2008 doesn't like my old install/erases of 2005 and 2003.....
Im not an expert and may be im going a little to far but i have this idea:
It would be good to make one tab in manila to open something like "Second Today".
This way one tab may contain a smaller clock and calendar+ showing more apointments or anythig else. This would be nice!
a quick way:
Is it pasible to make one tab simply to lunch a program (second today)? This way we can simulate a tab containing any today plugin (calendar+). Ofcourse the bottom slider will disaper but we can put there one big button down there fot close seckond today or simply bind closin on one softkey.
What do you think about it? sorry for my english
PS: for me it would be best if sliding the keybord (in hermes) would run seckond today
But ofcourse it will be perfect if 3 or 4 events from the calendar would apear under the clock
Is someone could help me find the algo to convert this hexa in datetime please ?
Thanks in advance
Hex :
"Start Time"=hex:\
00,38,d8,92,17,4d,c9,01
"End Time"=hex:\
00,a0,9c,f4,1f,4d,c9,01
DateTime :
2008-11-22 07:00 PM
2008-11-22 08:00 PM
Anyone working on this ?
I still think it is usefull for many people.
Thanks
I'm sorry, I'm completely off this time, but hope to find couple hours to have a look on this and help people who wants to go on with this request.
For now I've started a VB.NET 2008 project and started function which could open PIM and take all events in it because there's not enough in registry.

Advantage Not Fit for Purpose.

Hello, I have lodged a complaint and asked HTC to email me the fact that the X7510 is not fit for purpose.
Let me elaborate. I administer a Microsoft SBS 2003 server. My user/owner of the company asked me to research a mobile device which would synchronise all his Exchange/My Documents items. The HTC X7510 seemed the right choice as it appeared to allow complete synchronisation and had a 16GB storage size. No limitations were mentioned.
I then get the device and find:
1) It cannot synchronise My Documents to the 16GB storage
2) It cannot synchronise his Exchange server mailbox (10GB) 60,000 mail items - crashes
I mean, what's the point? 16GB of what?
Please do not mention 3rd party products as I am interested in an out of the box solution which this HTC is meant to be.
I just though that I would save a few people some time and money by reading this and then they would purchase a laptop.
Probably wouldn't bother with the Shift either if this is what you get.
Thanks.
Adrian.
Adrian,
With respect, an Exchange 2003 mailbox that goes over 2GB is poorly managed and will become corrupted. Microsoft has a utility to specifically deal with and recover Exchange 2003 mailboxes that are over 2 gigs. Get your boss to archive more often!
Addtionally, it is entirely possible to sync almost the entire contents of My Docs, but the question I'd ask is why would you want to?
A business owner would typically have many documents confidential to the business in their My Docs, so it's not a clever idea to sync all that to a portable device. A far better and more elegant solution would be to use SBS's remote workplace and the remote desktop client on the HTC. That way he can even use full apps installed at the office.
Also, I think you may miss the point of the Shift - most people seem to!
DON'T think of it as a phone, or a PDA or a WM device of any kind. It is a UMPC that just happens to have a WM side, so you don't always have to have the whole thing fully booted up. As such, the WM side was NOT intended to be free standing, as on any other WM device, but rather to compliment the functionality of the PC side.
Now some very clever people came up with Shift packs that allow you to "liberate" the WM side, making it far more fully featured, but it still is (in WM terms) a poor cousin to the Athena.
Go get a laptop, you say? Fine, but I suggest first do a needs analysys so you get a device/UMPC/laptop/mainfram/whatever that will actually deliver what you're looking at achieving.
Thanks..
Thanks for your elaborate and Company oriented reply.
My client (actually a friend of mine), I just happen to be an IT consultant, is a lawyer. He needs access to most of his My Documents and also all his emails. Exchange 2003 handles his 9.98 GB mailbox realy well in the office. From his laptop he RDPs over a VPN into the server no bother.
I do not think that a sync schedule which is .5K x 60000 items = 30MB should cause the Advantage a problem. And thats all his mailbox, if I just do 2007 and 2008 then thats 25000 items x 0.5K = 12.5MB.
Also the sync just does not complete - via cable, wireless (pardon the pun) or 3G. Now thats no big deal, just don't sell it as a complete sync solution for MS Exchange.
Also, the country I am in has a maximum ADSL bandwidth of 2MB down 512K up, to which his server is attached via a Cisco router.
RDP from the Advantage is a no because his eyesight is bad.
Thanks again for your constructive reply!
Actually my reply was neither company orientated, nor elaborate. If you wanted elaborate then we can delve into the mysteries of the Jet db technology underpinning Exchange 03, since that will also explain the 2 GB mailbox limit. Instead my reply was technically orientated.
I support amongst other things several Exchange 03 installations. Your friend's mailbox alone is approaching the 16 GB db limit Exchange 03 has (18 to 75 GB on SP2 boxes) and I will categorically state his mailbox is poorly managed.
Remember, WM does NOT sync an entire mailbox, but instead a subset of it. Going by what your client wants no WM device will do the trick. Instead, I suggest using a laptop with offline files and folders enabled. That way he'd have his FULL mailbox and ALL his docs with him.
Tell you one thing, though: the minute I hear my solicitor carries ALL his documents out of the office all the time is the minute I change law firm! The exposure is simply too great.
Iphone 3G, N95 8 GB
Thanks agan for your concise and erudite reply.
I will therefore, after several cooked ROMS and various HTC's, not darken this doorstep again.
I have configured my N95 8GB, and an IPhone 3G to sync this Exchange mailbox succesfully. They do not have the MS Office funtionality my friend requires.
Yes it is SP2 and I will be moving to SBS 2008 as soon as SP1 for SBS 2008 comes out .
The Advantage - It cannot do what it says.
And it costs a bomb.
And you, (well, I'm using you as the corporate HTC/Microsoft Active Sync/Jet Database/etc. figure) still haven't answered why the My Documents folder cannot be sync'd to the 16GB Flash out of the box but rather to the phone memory.
At the end of the day (and especially these credit crunch days) the user wants what the user wants. And what the user wants is a mobile device which has all his documents and all his emails.
The Advantage cannot do that, therefore is not fit for purpose.
"Smart Mobility?"
Regards,
Adrian.
Office 2007
Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention that the users in the office with the SBS 2003 box are running Office 2007.
Thus, were I to use FTGate or MDaemon, or even a local pop account as opposed to Exchange, I could in theory have a local pst (or ost) file up to a size of 20GB. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830336
And so, if I chose an Advantage, with Office 2007 and a local pst file, ActiveSync could not synchronise all of it.
The Advantage is not fit for purpose. Or is it Windows Mobile that is not fit for purpose?
Probably Windows, 27 Microsoft exams have taught me this.
Don't sell something if it can't do what it says on the tin.
Adrian.
Adrian,
I don't want this to degenerate into a my-daddy-is-bigger-than-your-daddy type of argument. Having said that, I disagree with you on several aspects:
1) The .PST file in Outlook 03 and 07 can be configured to be up to 33 TB (yes, Tera Bytes) in size. The 33 TB limit is NOT defined by Microsoft, but instead is a by-product of the Unicode encoding used in the file, just as the previous 2 GB limit was the result of limitations to the ANSI encoding such files used before. But all this ignores actual mailbox limitations brought into play by Exchange 03. The default maximum size for an Exchange 03 mailbox is 2 GB - imposed by Microsoft. You CAN override this by manually editing the value using the ADSIEdit console, but before doing so I suggest first exploring the reasoning behind the 2 GB limit - there's a great deal of sense in that limit.
2) I'd dearly LOVE to know how you managed to sync a 10 GB mailbox onto an 8 GB Nokia! Perhaps Nokia's discovered a new compression algorhythm that the rest of the world doesn't know about!
3) After you read through various MSDN articles on the 2 GB mailbox limit, and several other dealing with the suggested maximum number of items in each mailbox folder, kindly explain how you managed to sync a 10 GB mailbox over the air, given the number of forcefully dropped connections Exchange would do on a mailbox containing 60 000 mail items.
4) On MY x7510 My Docs lives on the 16 GB flash memory. It is a simple adjustment to make and an oversight on your vendor's part for not making it default. Still, with XP or Vista a default setup will not meet your needs, so why do you expect WM at default values to be perfect for YOUR needs?
5) I've never been described as a corporate HTC/Microsoft Active Sync/Jet Database/etc. figure. Actually I work for myself, although on occassion I employ sub-contractors. I do support as well as software development, integrating Exchange, Active Directory and 3rd party SQL databases, so I've learned a fair old bit about Exchange's insides. Please don't view me as advocate for corporateland, because I'm not.
I understand you're frustrated, mate, but I did not cause your frustrations, so please don't vent it on me. Nobody here dislikes you, and we'd all like you to stay. It is just that I (and I suspect a few others) disagree with your points of view. I happen to love my x7510, far more after Cmonex weaved her magic and got us all to the point where we can unlock our devices and flash newer/better ROMs to it. My device does EXACTLY what I need from it, so in several ways I'm very fortunate.
Then again, my needs were very clearly defined before I got the x7510. I need a hardware keyboard and a large screen capable of at least VGA as I do a lot of support via remote desktop. I like the on-board GPS (although it isn't essential to me) and I'm currently working on a method to allow some of my clients to view (at my discretion) where I am when I'm out and about for them.
I have no less than four Exchange installations at my office, but they're all lab networks, mimicking client setups. For my own mail I use Live mail from Microsoft because it is simple, easy and just works.
Please consider what I'm saying here: I believe your friend is trying to work dangerously far outside of accepted good practise. You can criticise me for saying that, but you cannot alter the facts.
If he was my client I'd get him an Acer Aspire One, or the new Asus Eee PC with Bluetooth, and a 3G USB connection. I'd then set the laptop up as essentially a thin client and have him log on to a machine at his office using remote desktop.
The Aspire One is a nice little toy with a far larger screen than any WM device, and is hugely cheaper than the HTC Shift. It would give him all the functionality he seems to be after, without risking any data falling in the wrong hands.
Agree but disagree.
OK, I must admit this user is pushing the boundaries of the meaning if the word "mobility" but if you are going to sell a product that synchronises with Exchange, surely that means all possibilities for Exchange (or a pst for that matter).
It's like buying a car and finding out that it runs for 50 miles and then stops, which is what happens with the Advantage - it says it has synchronised but hasn't, no errors, failures, nothing.
By the way, it seems it is not a limit on the size of the mailbox but the number of items per folder. I have split his years into months in the inbox/sent folders and I am on 2004 already.
Takes a long time for the initial sync, but once it does it, every subsequent sync flies through, even over GPRS as the looking for changes happens pretty much straight away, it's the processing of the emails which takes the time.
I was joking about leaving the XDA forum - at the end of the day it is not HTC but Windows mobile that is at fault and I have had several HTC's, started with a Blue Angel I upgraded to WM 6.
Thanks for taking the time.
Adrian.

Your friend might have some benefit from using that.

Now I need to disagree there as well: Not all cars are made equal, either.
It seems to me that you're after a car with the looks of a Lamborghini Diablo, F1 racing performance and handling, space for 8 people and a dog, capable of being driven across the Sahara desert and through the Amazon jungle all with the comfort of a large BMW saloon, all while using only a teaspoon of fuel.
Be a pretty excellent vehicle if it actually existed, but we both know it doesn't, and never will. Now does this mean we should start criticising all car manufacturers, or simply accept some trade-offs when selecting our perfect car?
Dear NanoRuler ,
U rocks , i truly respect you because i have seen many people that are extremely difficult to satisfy yet unable to accept that he or she is difficult to be satisfied . I support u , NanoRuler rules
I prefer the Lamborghini Countach LP500s actually.
Hmm, just did a google on HTC X7510 R.R.P. and this came up:
http://www.cnet.com.au/mobilephones/phones/0,239025953,339285985,00.htm
And so, for that price, or anywhere near what we paid for it, my orginal post on this thread was correct.
A laptop is cheaper and better.
Q.E.D.
Adrian "Lamborgini Countach LP500s" N****
(Surname blanked as I don't want some wierdo turning up at my doorstep with an LP500s and an HTC X7510 attached who has succesfully synced a 60GB Exchange mailbox)
Adendum:
HTC working as well as can be expected, with 1 years emails on it.

Laptop and communicator/(mobile computer) - noncomparable models, IMHO... Different sizes, different options...
Why complain
Why did you file a complaint? Lets face it Windows is unstable from the very start. They spent millions developing Vista but nobody wants to use it. If you want something stable, switch to an iphone with an Apple computer.
