I have recently upgraded form a Sony Ericsson K750 to a Qtek S200 (ROM 2.9.7.24). I used to use Floats Mobile Agent to sync with my PC via Bluetooth, but also get notifications of text messages and phone calls direct on to my PC.
Obvoiusly activesync takes care of the syncing issues (although not wirelessly) but the notifications were really useful when you have your phone on silent in the office.
The point is that for some reason i cannot get my S200 to connect to Flats Mobile Agent. I can pair my device with my PC but fma will not connect. I suspect this has something to do with Windows Mobile 5. Has anybody managed to et this to work?
Thanks

I used to use Float's on my SE T610 and K700i. Absolutely loved it.
I think the answer to your question is that FMA does not support windows mobile 5 devices. It was built specifically for the SE T610, k700, k750 etc. wihch uses a different OS on the phone. FMA also tends to use OBEX transfer to specific directories on the phone to access text messages and stuff. Windows mobile uses databases for it's message storage.
Check out the support page on Sourceforge under supported phones.

My IT manager has informed me that the XDA II will have blackberry capabilities once "O2 implement some changes to their servers" , which will apparently happen somewhere after X-mas.
Anybody else heard of this?
It was my impression, from something I read I believe, that the functionality comes from both 2003 mobile upgrade, and microsoft .net (2003) exchange server. Basically I was lead to believe that if you have say MS exchange server .net or 2003 what ever it is officially called, and a pocket pc phone running 2003 mobile the blackberry type functions can be had.
RIM client is being shipped in new O2 XDA II firmware next year. This means you can use it with RIM BES servers to deliver push E-mail.
This will not give the true Blackberry experience though as the carriers have only licensed a portion of the BES solution and it's functionality is limited. There is no push calendar, contacts etc. etc. and the configuration aspects are limited on PPC2003.
Good for marketing purposes but pretty much useless in my view in an enterprise deployment. It's my understanding that the RIM BES support is a firmware only solution and you will not be able to add extra functionality without the carrier licencing it and delivering it to you in ROM form.
The RIM BES is done with software. So in theory it could be implemented on the XDA II. However the BES is not cheep!!
It would be good to see if an XDA II could get the seamless e-mail connection that the Blackberry does. However the Blackberry is not a particularly good phone and when I last looked did not support SMS but P2P. If they can get over the technical aspect and the cost of the BES it would be great and I for one would perches the service in a second.

Yes it can
the xmail software can be used to match what blackberry can provide - you will need a computer permanently linked to the network (either yours or a shared machine)
A T-Mobile manager in San Francisco explained it this way: The combination of the new Pocket PC Phone Edition 2003 software on your PDA and new mail server software (undoubtedly Exchange Server 2003, although she didn't say), lets email show up on your PDA without you having to check for it manually, just like SMS messages do. If that's what you mean by Blackberry capabilities, then it looks like everyone who has or upgrades to Pocket PC Phone Edition 2003 and gets email from an updated Exchange Server will have "Blackberry capability." She explained that the mail server will send a specially coded SMS message to your PDA (which you will never see) which will notify the OS that there is email waiting to be downloaded. The PDA will then automatically initate a download of the email. From your perspective, it will seem that the email will simply show up -- a la with a Blackberry device.
It is Exchange 2003 and Windows Mobile 2003 combo. You can set Active Sync to sync "as new items arrive" option. This option sends a special email via SMS to your phone to pull the new data. So, it becomes very close to Blackberry RIM, I love it. It saves my time to check for new messages on the road.
People are confusing two capabilities here
RIM / Blackberry INBOX software is rumored to be shipping with / in the XDA II firmware sometime in '04 (might be available now). This would allow EITHER a RIM desktop redirector OR a Blackberry Enterprise Server to wireless synchronize Exchange email with the XDA II. The BES option is much better than the 'redirector' as it doesn't require a PC to be constantly running redirecting email for every user doing this (dumb approach).
There are multiple "Blackberry Like" capabilities that support the XDA II that some of you have been referring too. Microsoft new 'titanium' / Exchange uses SMS (dumb approach) to wake up the XDA II and 'tell it' to come pick up it's mail, calendar, etc. SMS is costly in some cases, and not guaranteed message protocol in all cases.
Other ISV's are developing / have developed 'Berry like' capability for XDA II -- Synchrologoc, Extended Systems, Sybase iAnywhere, others.
Most of these take the same approach as described above by Microsoft -- some are a bit more clever approach that uses TCP/IP as the underlying Push notification vs. SMS -- which makes them alot more flexible and reliable.
NET-net: There are two options to achieving the Pushed email / PIM to the XDA II: via RIM / Blackberry approach, or via the MS / ISV approach described above.
Make sense? FYI: I know this because I am the RIM product mgr for my company, and have been exploring some of the options that are RIM-like with other device and platforms.

There are 3rd party solutions that allow for this kind of thing also. We are currently using Synchrologic Email Accelerator to do true IP push to our WM2003 devices. The device polls the server to see if new messages are there and pulls them down if there are any new items. Email, Contacts, Tasks...any of your PIM items are "pushed" (it actually appears to be a pull, but oh well) without SMS messaging taking place.
I guess my point is that this is WM2003 capability, not necessarily XDA II. You can have this "blackberry experience" today if you use the right software. Granted, its not cheap, but I know our mobile users love it.

Yeah but the device has to be on to do this, right? I mean to "poll" the server, your PPC has to be turned on, right?
With the Exchange Server method, it will send the SMS which will cause your PPC to wake up, dl the email, and tell you "you've got mail".

your PDA is never actually off unless you let the battery die. When you turn it "off" the screen just blanks to save battery. I agree, SMS message wakeup is a stupid and wasteful approach.
I have 3 mobiles Sony Ericsson X1 (XPERIA), W810i and Nokia mobile. Now I am going to use X1 forever. So I want to transfer my all contacts from W810i and Nokia to my X1 mobile.

Sync each of your phones with outlook one after the other.
Do the other two phones before your X1.
You will need to use either Active Sync 4.5 (XP) or Windows Mobile Device Centre (Vista) for your X1 and you can download Sony Ericsson Data Suite for your w810i and nokia data suite for your nokia. The manufacture will have the software you need on the webpage for each phone.
Microsoft My Phone will solve your problem.
Currently in beta, provides wireless synchronization of data on your mobile phone (including contacts)

google has a similar free service.
My previous phones have all been compatible with Jeyo Mobile Extender. This software allows for you to manage/backup/send sms messages from your Outlook on your desktop when connected via active sync. I've contaced their support about Mobile Extender not working properly with HD2. This is the reply they sent:
In order for Extender to communicate with your phone, you need to make sure of these things:
1. You’re running the Windows Mobile version of Extender (check the “About” dialog under the SMS menu in Outlook)
2. Your phone is connected via ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center to your PC (NOT serial port or modem connection)
3. Your Windows Firewall is temporarily disabled (or configured with a port exception on 9035)
4. On your phone, please go to "Settings->Connections->"USB to PC" on your phone and make sure that "enable advanced network functionality" is not checked.
I am sure 1 & 2 are correct.
3= I don't think there is a firewall on the HD2 blocking the communication, and
4= not sure if there is a setting for this on the HD2?
Has anyone been able to get Mobile Extender to recognize the SMS' on your phone? Or has anyone successfully used another program with the HD2 that will allow you to get your SMS' off your phone and onto your desktop? Thanks if you can provide the resolution.
3. sounds like windows firewall on the PC, not the phone.
4. the exact option is not available but "enable faster data sync" is an option, which is possibly what they mean? mine's checked by default, if yours is, try unchecking.
I have Jeyo Mobile Extender too, with no problems... Are you sure that the software is registered with the same name as the device? When you click on About/Register, Register..., click once on GET FROM DEVICE. I hope that you're problem is solved now
i have had a problem with this program since changing from my touch hd to my hd2, I cant send texts from outlook it says its sent but noone receives them??? any ideas

That's good news, focus. That's what I wanted to hear, that someone has it working with no issues. I thought of that as well. I've since sent an email to Jeyo support because my registration is under "Michael" and my name on the device is "Mike". That is the conflict I believe. I can't figure out how to change my registration info with Jeyo, so I'm waiting to hear back from them. Hopefully that is the reason for the error.
Are there any Windows based programs that will connect and write directly to the Touch HD.
I use Active Sync. of course, but I am looking for something similar to Nokia's
PC suite or Motorola's Mobile Phone tools.

I'm not trying to be a wise guy... But I'm not sure what you are asking for.
If you want Nokia PC Suite - Google shows it available for free download, straight from Nokia. Your choice of World Region, phone model, etc...
But I sort of think you know that and have used it in the past???
Are you saying you have a different phone you need similar (to Nokia) software for???
I sort of doubt that a generic, one program covers all software will be as good as one from the OEM for your phone. It might be helpful to state which phone you are trying to manage.
pc suit for wm
this sofrware can work as pc suit for the windows mobile
Mymobiler is nice, but I like EveryWAN better. It's also free for the personal edition. You can do more things with it (file manager, etc.) and it just looks nicer IMO .
