Before I start, yes I know to try searching the forums first and if thats fails search the web...I have...hence me turning to posting this
The problem is, I am looking for a smaller, faster replacement for Pocket IE. One program in particular, but I cant remember its name (hence searching for it being a problem :wink: )
Name was something like vx????? or xP????? - anyone help?
Thanks
don't know which program you're try to recall. but opera 8.6 works much better than PIE.
You were looking for ftxPbrowser. But it's not optimised for WM5 yet.
ftxPBrowser
Mobile IE sucks. ftxPBrowser works pretty well for Windows Mobile 5 on my MDA Pro. The AOL classic e-mail URL works to some degree--I can get all of my text e-mails, but I cannot get anything with a "picture"--in other words, HTML. Handango sells a program to directly connect to AOL e-mail--but it also doesn't work properly--it displays HTML messages as HTML code! And there is no reply button or back button!!
Opera works well to display Web pages, but will not access AOL e-mail at all.
So: what else is there? Surely there's got to be something better!!

Strange you've found ftxPBrowser usable under WM5 (read my related article on its problems under WM5.)
As far as your (and the others') other questions are concerned, read my browsing-related articles at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?cat=61 - they answer ALL your questions.
Opera Mini?
I checked your link--it's your blog. I skimmed through it and I don't see how it answers my questions. Why would Opera Mini solve the problems, if Opera [regular] would not? Have you tested Opera Mini with AOL?

Hey all,
We're currently evaluating WinMo devices to replace blackberries in our company... thus far the results have been a mixed bag to say the least.
I look after an exchange 2003 environment (SP2) so we're push-email ready, however there's one big thing holding us up - IM.
On the blackberries, we use something called Blackberry Messenger which is capable of both online and offline messages, and pretty infallible. It runs in the background and whenever a user is online handles the sign-on and message delivery, likewise if a user is offline the network queues the message until they're back online.
I can't find anything like this for windows mobile, can anyone suggest soemthing I'm missing? until I have this we're stuck with blackberry...
TIA
German T-Mobile is offering a BlackBerry Software Addon for the MDA Vario - I started a thread a while back right here in the forum.
Since I have no use for Blackberry, etc. I have not installed/used it. But maybe its what you are looking for.
The only way to do (online) IM now on WM5 devices is via PocketMSN I think.
Dont know any alternatives (especially that can handle offline IM).
I'm new here, but....
I know on the PC there is a program that handles offline messaging and it is available on the PocketPC now too. It's called ICQ. You can send a message offline and the person will receive it when they logon.
http://www.icq.com/download/ftp-pocketpc.html
Lemme know if that's what you're looking for.
you can use Agile Messenger.. Lets you use AIM/ICQ/Yahoo/MSN IM accounts. There's a thread someone in here that has the info on it.. just search the forums for Agile Messenger.
You might want to contact Jabber and work out somemthing with them, the idea's mentioned above are good but I know you need something internal (not somthing that has potential use for (ab)use/danger)

Any day now, M$ is gonna release mobile office connect. If you use office connect already this will move the IM client out to WM5.
You can try Saki,
It has the features you mentioned as well as integrated email, RSS feeds, and others. I know a company that chose to use this software and wizards instead of Blackberries.

Let's not forget Microsoft's Live Communication Server (LCS) 2005 with the office communicator SIP client.

I've tried these two browsers but i've some problems with some web pages like mail webpage of my e-mail provider Libero Italy or the itinerary of Viamichelin web page. Pages go ahead but don't charge everything well,making usage impossible.
Thia happens also using Operamini as java applet.
I'm using the new official gps enabled Rom but this happened also with the former Rom.
My old Samsung phone managed java Operamini applet to show everything.
Does somebody know this issue and has a solution?
The good thing about the trinity is to behave like a PC along the street, but without this kind of pages many advantages become lost.
Thaks for replies

I've just bought the MDA Vario II and yes it is very cool, however I've noticed a few issues I have that make it not so useful for me.
I use Yahoo Web mail a lot (no I don't want to set up an account on my phone), I can select to go to my Inbox, I can select individual mail items or select them to delete.
However, I cannot access any of the standard e.g.
CHECK MAIL/COMPOSE/REPLY/DELETE
buttons, so I can't actually reply to anyone. Very fustrating!
Also there are other web pages I use where I get a similar problem and cant access buttons that would normally be available on a desktop pc.
I've talked to T-mobile about this and they've not really got any help on this, one of the support guys said to load the latest flash player as that helped him. Tried that, no luck.
Can anyone help me with this as it seriously affects my use of this otherwise cool phone.
Cheers
Either upgrade to WM6 (for free from the site) do some reading prior to that,
or download and install the opera browser for ppc and use it, it works.
Cheers
I know there was an old thread on here but I could not find it, so, forgive me to ask again:
What is the best Messenger application for WM5 / WM6?
I love the look and work of AGILE MESSENGER but the price is way too high for a program like this! Also: users get routed through their own servers to 'validate' the lisence. This causes time delay and additional data trafic each time you connect and in a long run you pay more than you would have to if you pay per data volume.
It would be great to find a program what does at least the main 4: AOL, ICQ, MSN, YAHOO. What do you guys use?
You could try Octrotalk.
Useful info here,

you can try look for IM+.
this messenger can connect to msn, yahoo, google, jabber, etc...
if i'm not mistaken they also have a version which can connect to skype. but i'm not sure with this.
fring does all of them with the exceptio of Yahoo. Very light weight and supports voice on all. www.fring.com
im using im+ i can send it to you just PM for me

I used IM+ on Symbian devices and it never worked right - does it work better on Windows Mobile?

just wondering how to change what email address my phone uses by default it always pics my hotmail address when I send email from my contacts and I would like it to use my other address looked high and low for a setting and online...only thing I can think of is maybe its the first one that you set up that it pics by default. any one have any ideas?
also totally off topic but pretty disappointed with skyfire so far...no tabs ,no saving pics,can't open email links, not copy and paste on web pages...too bad as far as just using to surf pages its really damn good I wish I didn't have to think about what 3 browsers I would like to use based on what type of pages I will be going to. when will we have a browser that does it all...opera and skyfire are so close yet one is good for one thing and the other for another...if only they were to fall in love and have a child then we would have a browser that does it all
have you ever tried the gc opera mini cab. for a browser i mean. i am very inhappy with skyfire, but i comes in useful sometimes on some sites
no I havnt tried opera mini yet I always ment to but kinda forgot once 9.5 came out and that has been my main browser.But thanks for the tip ill give it a shot...im really hoping skyfire or opera will shortly add the few things it needs to be perfect.
