Another coworker has a Nokia 9300. At first glance, it's a step back to the late 90s phones. Bulky. But fold it open sideways and you have a "big" widescreen LCD and a qwerty keyboard. He has an SSH client for his phone and can log in to servers at work or IRC if necessary. He also has the broadband over bluetooth thing going so if he's on the road, he can use his laptop can use his phone's broadband connection. Pretty useful if you're at a conference or a cafe where wifi access isn't free.

I don't have a cell yet but I'm tempted. Not sure I want to deal with the bulk of a Treo or 9300 though even though the features are attractive.

yeah...took me forever to decide on the Q, regardless of what I psoted on here...

How is that Q anyway? I'm not sure if I want to get a silicone or leather case for my Pocket PC Phone. Silicone cases keep the phone slimmer but makes it look like a toy. On the other hand, leather cases add more bulk but look more professional.

Oh yeah, direct push r0x0rz my b0x0rz.

it's a sweet little thing, but far from perfect. It has crashed a few times, and definitely has its limitations. That siad, foir what we use it for (checkign imap accounts) and general internet lookups, it works fine....speacking from the point of view of a miser...er..rather, a poor fool.

If I needed an effective busienss tool and our business was not only benefitting from it ,like it is now, but DEPENDING on it, I wouldn't get it, period.

It's nice, but thigns like a lack of pushmail support (we were thinkign of gettign outsourced exchange accoutns), the puny 107mhz ARM CPU< and WIndows mobile 5.0's general shortcomings make it a very could knife, but not worthy of the badge of the Swiss army...


if you get my drift....

I currently use mail2web's pushmail service and it's 100% free.

but you have to:

1) use the text mesage trick, right?

2) have to sue a @mail2web address.


no?


I looked them up so that they could host some of our domain mailboxes and that was the only way it would work since verizon hadn't implemented Windows Mobile 5.0's service pack 1.



Timed IMAP mail checks are pretty acceptable though

I'm not sure what exactly this is. I can send email back out using Windows Mobile Outlook and it syncs with mail2web's exchange server.

2) have to sue a @mail2web address.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure they can host your domain if you pay for the service.

hmmm...I will have to take a look at it again....

My main problem is outlook. I have to use the stupid "copy message to folder" trick to get it to save sent mail in an imap folder. It works fine in Mozilla thunderbird, but our apps need outlook and that is what my dad is used to

Nokia N70, N91, Sony Ericsson k800i, k610i, LG chocolate destroy RAZR.
I don't know why the phone plans in the states are so far behind.

I think all the people I know including me who own a razr will praise it to their graves.

All the people that dont have one will fight to the end and die saying "razr sucks" or "razr looks gay" or "motorola is dumb", "razr camera sucks", "its generations behind", etc.

This war will last forever.

I bought a RAZR because I think they are really slick. I love the interface on them and the features are good, too.

I was in dire need of a phone upgrade. I had a Motorola V60x, what a piece of junk.
