Is there really a big delay when opening/closing the keyboard?

yes every day there is the same question and thing I'm doing, looking to the web for news about new MS mobile devices..and now thinking about buying the Vox. But the only thing so far I couldn't live with is that there should be big delay when opening or closing the keyboard.
How do you rate this?

Its a few seconds...maybe more if you have many apps running in the backround, but then everything runs slow when thats happening on any WM device... dosent bother me...

To be honest in my opinion its not as bad as other make it seem, as long you keep tabs on the programs you have running in the background every now and not running with only 1mb free memory then you shouldn't have a problem. One tip you can try is disabling the sound it plays when switching views in the settings. Made the switch slightly faster in my opinion.

Without the Sound it is maybe 2 times faster..

thanks guys for your prompt answers!!
Do you have a clou whether the important progs like PocketInformant or AgendaOne are running without problems in landscape mode?

I use AgendaOne and I haev not had an issue with it switching orientation. However Documents to Go has a problem as does SmartPhoneNotes - they will not fill the screen, you get a scroll-bar on the righe, pretty much making it still portrate..

hi John
I thought one doesn't need smartphonenotes anymore as WM6 should have its own notes taking application?
As well as Office Mobile (doc, xls, ppt) should be on board, isn't ?

I really don't see what the fuss is about speed of the screen rotation. Its not like it takes several minutes. Approx 1-3 seconds depending on what's running in the background is perfectly fine.

hi guys, I don't want to make the Vox bad, I'm asking because I had the same issue with HTC Hermes, which was also quite ok after I disabled the sound. It also depends on how many applications are installed, loaded in memory, how much memory is free etc. But reading one of the serious reviews like the one from mobile-review - I rather ask for opinions of users before I buy it.
Thank you all
Can somebody tell how is it with the mobile office? Is it really not included with Vox as I read also somewhere? And is there a mobile note application synchronizing with Outlook?

You can edit existing documents but you cannot create ones, correct?
How about the notes application - possible to synchronize them with desktop?

Yes it has them...but WM6 does not allow for creation of new items in Office Mobile (although there is a hack to get around that) but I personally find Documents to Go a better offering than what MS gives you. I have word docs sent via email that dont load in Word mobile (on WM5 or WM6) yet have no problem in DTG...
There is also a 3rd party notes app - but no way to Sync to Outlook, thus I use SmartPhoneNotes.

You know...not to go way off topic here, but I thought I was going crazy one night because I could not figure out why there was no Calculator on the VOX...it never crossed my mind that it would be under "Office Mobile".... Since I never go in there with DTG installed - makes no sense at all to me for it to be in there...
My 2 cents
John

this is really a place one should go to - getting answers by like-minded people.
RE notes / synchronization - you know that there is a new beta out there of phatnotes by phatware? It supports WM6, might be a solution also for the landscape issue with smartphonenotes described by John...?

Didn't know about it to be honest, will have to swing by their site and look it up.
I guess I should note that DTG and Smartphonenotes are landscape aware, I used them just fine on my BlackJack...and I noticed today actually that if you start them in landscape mode they auto-rotate just fine....its only when you start in portrait mode that they go whacky...
Take care - John

Web browser + Windows Mobile 6.1

Hi there,
thanks already for all your help in the past.
Today I have two new topics:
1) I am searching for a web browser that supports digest authentication.
Unfortunately Pocket Explorer does not support it. And Opera Mini would support but redirects to Pocket Explorer again for any downloads. So I am lost.
Tried already Minimo but without big success.
Does anybody know a browser that is free and supports authentication?
2) Does anybody know whether HTC plans to release Windows Mobile 6.1 for the Vox as download version? I asked them already but there is not yet a response.
Thanks and have a nice day.
BR
Andi

Found it
Hi,
just to let you know - I just came across the JB5 browser and it seems to do exactly what I want.
Good piece of software, and it is free.
Cheers
Andi

Issue with DeepFish

Hello friends,
I have recently installed DeepFish web browser on my HTC GENE. It was successfully installed but when I am going to open any website, it just does not open. IE working properly...but DeepFish showing messages like slow network connections and all...
Need some help in this regard...
Thanks in advance...

I don't have a helpful answer other than most of us gave up on that pinto ages ago. I suggest Opera Mini 4.1 via JBED java midlet manager. There are other in dev browsers out there, but this one just does what it does reliably well.
Cheers!

runescape on the HD2

hi all surely with the hd2's massive spec it must be possible to play rune scape however when i try it just tells me i need java any ideas? thanks

Have you tried running it with SkyFire, that may do java, just a suggestion, not 100% sure.

hi i have tried sky fire and that got the closest so far just amazes me that with a device as powerful I the hd2 there still isn't full support for java and decent flash I presume some one must be working on it but as yet no luck

I'm no expert on Java, but have you tried accessing rune scape with Opera Mini? After all, it's a java based browser and runs inside a java runtime environment... Maybe it works!

yeah have tried opera mini and no luck thanks any ways

no u cant plain and simple.

I used to play RuneScape, and why would you want to play it on such a small screen?

Actually...
you can try to install 'Esmertec Jbed'. It's a java for windows mobile, grabbed from roms. its posted on the trinity forum but you can take it and use it on any WM device, at least i use it:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407667
About runescape, never tried it but I checked and saw there is an option in the: play now-->java options-->change it from default to force sun java, and use IE.
good luck and tell me how it goes
dan

hi dan tried both those things neither of those things worked but thanks any ways

sorry to hear that
does it have a java client? perhaps using JBlend then. don't know.
also
with the opera mini, have you tried the 10.3 beta?
hope it will work, if not - well, sun will release a formal java rather sooner than later.
until then - good luck
dan

[Q] Browser with flash capability that can play news.bbc.co.uk videos

Dear All,
I've read the previous similar post "Watch flash videos on news.bbc.co.uk?", but it doesn't answer my question:
Is there any browser capable of playing the videos on news.bbc.co.uk? I have tried stock opera, opera 10, opera mini, internet explorer, and Uzard. Skyfire is no longer supported on Windows Mobile 6.5.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Many thanks for any help you can offer!
Harry

dont know much about BBc but UZARD is one new browser and also UCBRowser which support flash...go ahead and try em out !

how about a browser that supports flash that plays online streaming pr0nz?

I'm looking for a browser which support flash too.
I've tried uzardBrowser but it's not fully working with Facebook and some other websites.
Dorothy browser seems nice but it doesn't support flash...
UCBrowser, just the same as uzardbrowser, but faster !

Pants! I cannae wait for phones to advance a little bit more!

I don't understand why is it so difficult to play flash videos on a cellphone like that one ...

Skyfire? not tried it for BBC, but it does play Flash.

Skyfire no longer supports the windows mobile 6.5 operating system!

Boot into Android, all flash sites and video work perfectly....
The browser (Dolphin HD) is the only reason I use Android, apart from the odd Angry Birds session, if WM had a decent browser I could save a lot of battery power.

Is it possible to dual boot - i.e. have both WM 6.5 & Android on your HD2?

Yes, it is. In a bit ironical way he wanted to say: take a look at this forum. There are several good versions of Android as custom ROMs. And of course dual boot is possible.
Take a look at XDA Developers. You are quiet right here

I've been a member of this site for a while now and don't remember my last post. So I have seen a lot of posts with people being very upset about stupid posts. I feel their pain. No the behavior isn't right, but you could have just as easily typed that question in the google bar and most likely found yourself right back at this site reading your answer. Just saying.
