    Julie,

    I have recently been intrigued by PocketMax's phoneAlarm. There is a user on their forum who claims he has installed it on a 6925, but I tried and the installation failed. Could be the security SW my company has on the phone. But have you tried it?

    Thanks,

    Rick

      I haven't installed it yet, but I will in the next couple of days and I'll be sure to let you know how it works out for me on my hw6925.

      Rick, I installed Phone Alarm to my hw6925 and it installed with no problems.  I used the pa_setup.exe file and installed it through ActiveSync.  It looks like a really nice application...very feature rich, provides great information and provides quite a lot of user defined options.  What kinds of problems have you encountered when you've tried to install this software?

      No, unfortunately, I haven't heard anything about a patch to make A2DP available on your rx4240.  I don't know why this was not included on your rx4240.  I've heard that HP is preparing a patch....I wish they would release it already!  Let us know what you hear from HP in australia, and if I hear anything, I'll be sure to post an announcement here.

        Spoke to HP in australia.... I was embarassed for them... they did not have a clue... they sent me a windows mobile 2003 cd and said that it has a bluetooth stack.... I gave up and put the earphones in a draw... a shame because I need them for work as a commercial electrican because I don't like cords that can get caught in drills etc.. if you hear any news I would love to get them going..
        Kind regards

    In a blog you indicated that your were looking for a replacement for desktop Outlook that synchs with Contacts in a WM5.0 device (RX1950). Did you find a suitable one? I do not use Outlook for anything but Contacts and would dearly like a replacement for it as I detest it.

      Jake, I haven't found a suitable replacement for Outlook.  I think Outlook 2007 is an improvement over Outlook 2003 and I'm also using an Addin to Outlook that provides a better user interface. 

      I'm glad you have found some useful information here.  Like you, I love my Pocket PCs and use them every day.

    I subscribed to your blog. It has much info that I will be useful. I love my RX1950 and use it a lot for storing vital info and for reading ebooks & listening to Audiobooks.

    I have an hx2490 PPC and wanted to purchase the MST ver 6.0 fitness package. The Handango site informed me that my machine is incompatible. The question is. Why?? It runs on Mobile 5.0.

      You should be able to run this software on your pocket pc.  I run it on my WM5.0 IPAQ (hw6925).  I think sometimes Handango's checker is more trouble than it is worth.  You might have better luck purchasing the software through the developer's website: My Sport Training by Vida One
