A couple of questions for Samsung or Omnia users.
1. The keyboard, is it possible to default it to the windows mobile keyboard. The settings tab doesnt change it when selected.
2. Active sync doesnt seem to work with Outlook 2003 in Windows XP. My HTC devices all work like clockword with Active sync 4.5 but the Samsung hangs. There are plenty of complaints on this on the internet forums.
3. The softkey menus in programs, is there a way of using the default windows text size instead of the Samsung extra large fonts. Its slightly pointless having a big screen with bigger fonts.
4. Is it possible as with the HTC to set the x button on programs to end the program when tapped instead of running the program in the background.\
These may be aspects to consider by Samsung on a software upgrade, but if anyone can assist, this could make the device a great handset.

I currently have a WM6 phone (HTC Touch) and I'd like to find a good piece of sync software. I need it to show reports of what has been changed and where (phone or pc) after each synchronization (like the ones we have in Nokia's Sync software). One with more configuration options would also be nice.
Thanks in advance.

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
{Newbie} hi there i need a little help here im coming from blackberry curve 8320 and i love the keyboard shortcuts on the blackberry browser but now since i got my samsung i780 (windows mobile) i really miss the shortcuts can someone propose me some browser with that ability for my new phone?
We only deal with non-HTC devices, hope you get your answer..
Meaning
this is an HTC devices only forum
it's an windows mobile device i don't think there is a difference what is the mark of the phone
Hi guys. I've been trying to find a program for my omnia ii that can quickly launch any program i have installed by just typing the application's name on the on screen keyboard. It should work something Like spotlight for mac and windows vista or this program called T9 nav for s60 phones.
Hope such a thing exists as i feel it is the quickest way to launch programs rather than flipping through pages of icons.
Greetings All,
I am a newbie to any sort of forum and I wish to express my thanks in advance for your help.
I have been a WM (HTC Tilt WM 6.1) user for 4 years. Just recently I have been having issues with my phone and I need to purchase a new phone, but I totally confused on what to purchase.
My Tilt has the following programs installed, that I use on a daily basis:
Voice Command, Note2Self, SPB Wallet, SK Tools, Skype, Handy Shopper, in addition to the WM Office suite.
These are the programs that work well for me and I am comfortable with.
My question is this>
Can a widows 7 Phone do all the above or do I find a used WM 6.1 or 6.5 phone…will I like WM 6.5 better?
Or dare I say it…an Android?
Since your a windows mobile user and I'm guessing your most familiar with that os I suggest the touch pro 2 or the HD2. The touch pro 2 because it's a user friendly device, nice sized keyboard and purely reliable. The hd2 is also a nice pick it has a 4.3in screen an extremely fast processor and the touch is pretty sensitive/similar to the iPhone. You can go to htc.com to check the specs and see what you like best.
These are both 6.5 wm capable phones and the HD2 can flash wp7. I personally like winmo over android because of office suite but android is not bad either.
thanks for the info...what does "flash wp7" mean?
The HD2 has a very active dev community and one of the things they have accomplished is to port other operating systems to the device. So you have a choice now between keeping it on the stock WM6.5, or 'flashing' an alternative OS like WP7 or Android.
If you bought one yourself you would have the added bonus of being able to use the apps that you are familiar with.
Thanks for your thoughts.
What about the new HTC Inspire...any thoughts?
