I tried Magneto on my Himalaya,but I had lot of problems(see 'Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking'). Is it there same problems also for Typhoon? Meaned the biggest problems such as unability to connect via ActiveSync,unability to accept many applications from 2003SE,etc. Someony who has it already tried,please write here your opinions and experiences. Thanx.
On Typhoon, Activesync works perfectly, you can't unlock it, neither for applications, nor to use another sim card, you can't use USSD... Don't load it for the now and wait for the final version.

+1 you are right.. it is so early for WM2005. if you load microsoft can test WM 2005 on your phone and you will be cavy...
Will there ever be a stable WM5 for the typhoon?

It can be application unlocked very easily with a simple registry change.
I dont see the problems eveyone is having with the typhoon with wm 5, its very stable I dont get any crashes or lockups any more. Tom tom 5 even works relaibly. The only downfall is the camera, which im sure there will be a fix.
?
I am still interesting about the applications. WM5 needs applications designed especially for this OS or accepts also the apps,which are running also on WM2003(se)? My Himalaya,while running on Magneto,wants not accept lot of the software that I am using with WM2003se normally...
I've been running WM5 on Typhoon for 1 week.
It's awesome. (totally happy, no issues with anything)
The WM5 GUI look & feel is much better for everythying
It seems faster
I really enjoy having photo/ring-tone based contacts built in.
radio seems to aquire quicker
Active Sync over GPRS and IMAP mail is MUCH faster!
I also recommend Pocket Controller Professional. You can control any pocket pc or smartphone from your computer! (and sync files, etc etc) It comes with “skins” so it looks like your whole phone is up on the screen. (very nice to "type" in stuff now and then too) Works great on the Typhoon with WM5 so far.
The Tornado should be interesting in Oct. (similar size + WiFi + EDGE)
s4czech or anyone else, could you please indicate me a link where to find a complete explanation on how to upgrade to WM5?
I already downloaded the upgrade, but as I donno the procedure all I get is error' messages that this or that is missing... Thanks!

Are you talking about Virtual Earth Mobile cos this is brilliant. I used to use a version that required a java plug in but I reckon this is better excellent in fact.

This gives a cab file so dead easy to install.

Sorry if I was a little dismissive re Java version, and as I'm feeling guilty, here's a link that will help if you really want to pursue the Java, Jar, Jad, Midlet thingy route.
Note "Google Local Mobile got renamed to Google Mobile Maps (gmm) and the main Java class is now called GoogleNav."

Also some more info on Java on PDAs here:
http://blog.vikdavid.com/2004/12/java_on_pocketp.html
I use the IBM J9 java emulator. Works well.
BTW You might like to have a look at MG Maps:
http://www.mgmaps.com/
It can access Google Maps, Google Satellite, MSN Road Map, MSN Aerial, MSN Aerial with labels, Yahoo Maps, Yahoo Satellite, Ask.com Maps and Ask.com Aerial. It's GPS aware (although this doesn't seem to work with my BT GPS) and can access KML overlays (although I haven't tried this out yet.)
Very nice.

People still use java??? I haven't used java on my phone since I last had a SonyEricsson! I haven't bothered with Java on WM phones.
java and flash are the future of mobiles, they just haven't realized it yet (aside from Japan ) and ajax...
I think the original poster was referring to javascript, not real java code. A lot of Banks and online sites us javascript and it used to be a big problem with ce and wm2002 and wm 2003. WM5 seems to handle some of the basic javascript and then there are several apps for addon such as IBM's j9 or websphere or what ever the name is this year. Also, midlet's are becoming more available

You mean JavaScript? Very few pages use client-side Java and I don't think this will change.

Nope, Google Earth is Midlet-based; see my Midlet & Google Earth -related articles.
Is there any way you can get a pluggin that makes java midlets (J2ME) Work any better? The ammount of midlets that install and then just do nothing is appaling? Sony Ericcsons and Nokia's have multiplayer Bluetooth Midlets that work on either device, why not on ours?? Also one in particular is REPORO (Awesome Program) They have a midlet specifically made for the Wizzard wchic works fine on the Tytn but I have found it is massively cut down! On a Nokia or Sony Ericsson or Motorola (I work in a phone shop so have everything readily available) They can all access the phones contact book and Pictures and Camera so you can send free picture messages to other REPORO users! Now Ive installed all the other brands versions onto my VARIO and they all install fine but then they dont run and crash my phone! Can I get an emulator or a pluggin to fix this?
www.REPORO.com
(Awesome if only for the live football results)
Chat rooms
Free Texts
Free Picture Messages
MSN, YAHOO, AIM, Google Messenger!
Shopping

Horrorscopes
And the list keeps getting bigger! Awesome software!! (MAke sure you select the O2 XDA MINI S as your device as its the only Wizzard derivative on there.
Install the J9 VM like others have mentioned.
Oh, and remember: "Write Once, Run Anywhere"...HA!!
Link: Pocket Informant 8 Evo
This is, for me, by far the best PIM Manager for Windows Mobile. And it's just been overhauled. Head over to www.handango.com and buy yourself a copy.
their own homepage doesnt even show it as released i am already proud owner of PI 2007 and waiting for the free upgrade that i hope will come
Seems the Smartphone version was pre-released. Bug free versions, including PPC, due a little later.
We will just have to wait.....

You need to look in their forums. Here's the link from Alex (founder of the company):
Pocket Informant Forums
It's just a timing issue, the release is out but the homepage hasn't been updated yet...
Surely the best timing and scheduling program...
I've read that they have a problem with the installer for WM5/6.
I can confirm it doesn't work at the moment. When you run the installer for PI8 it will copy a CAB file for PI7 to your device.
Just upgraded from PI 7 to PI8 through Handango. I was lucky a few weeks ago to get the PI 7 for free through their free app friday promotion.
In case you want to purchase this...here is a coupon worth 25% off at Handango NEWYEAR08
Works through the upgrade also!!!
Cost me only $13.50
Haven't tried to load it yet as I need to work on my whole phone at this point

I've installed it on my device - that installer problem has been ironed out already. It's beautiful!!!!
bugs??
I read it from a forum somewhere that PI8 has bugs where the contacts or appointments dates are jumbled up.... i havent tested this cause i dont have one .... planning to get it though...
anyone can confirm that this bug occurs?
I've been using this program for a few months to help my works organized (though it's a cracked version).
This morning, after knowing they release the new version, I decided to buy it from Handango. Now I have a fully working registered version.
I crashed twice when using this version on my tytn II. Just using for a while only.. Will continue to try for a few day to see how..
PI 8
Works great on my TnTN II !
Supports touch scrolling now, just great
Cheers

Can you use pocketcm as contact manager with this version? With PI7 it kinda took over as default contact mgr and i could never figure out how to use another app for contacts.
The new PI8 has a scrolling feature like PocketCM.....I actually am trying the PI8 contact manager for awhile to see if it is up to par. So far I do not miss Pocket CM.

Not a big deal to get around. Just re-install PocketCM after making PI your default PIM, and PCM becomes the default contact manger with PI7 remaining the default for Calendar and such. Of course, if you click on the contacts icon within PI, it will still go to PI's contacts.
Still need pocketcm for it's chat sms.

Hi, I need help!
I've tried many chat client on my mobile, for example, Fring and Palringo. But I can not send file. Palringo works very well but it can't be use to transferring file.
Can you say what is the best program to be able to send file and concomitant to chat.
Thanks advance!
you can use im+

Yes and it's a good one but it's too expensive.
$39.95 for IM
I used to use slick on S60 and it supported file transfer. Been using slick on my x1 but I havent try to use files transfer yet. You could try that, just google lonecate games slick.
I'm using BeeJiveIM and fring occasionally....but BeeJive seems to work best so far.
I kinda want a IM app thats finger friendly. But it's rather hard to find

Same here,
If you use msn you can even send offline messages.
The downside is that the font is too small for our resolution but still usable.

I would be interested in locating a mobile version of QQ (english preferably..)
I've been using Palringo.
Works alright for me, could be better.
Sometimes I need a soft reset for it to log in, wont log in other wise, dont know why.
Also, do the other apps make the Instant Message LED indicator flash? I know its there in the illumination settings, but palringo doesnt trigger it :|
I like also the EQO Messenger http://www.eqo.com/.
i use slick. a bit slow on some menus but i like it better than nimbuz as it does not require you to log a web server to use.
I use Live messenger and Skype, just as on the laptop.
I have tried fring but it wasn't quite it...
IM+ FTW!!!
I too second IM+. It simply works, while many others simply did not. I use ICQ, GT and Jabber protocols.
And skype for skype, sure, but it's constant data flow and thus constant battery drain. Good if it's cold outside and you want to keep your hands warm
I like fring

hi i tried searching for this already but i just dont know what to exactly search, i want a program that lets me access my phone through my computer, so i can type up sms and then send it through my phones network. i previously owned a nokia and it lets me do this in its pc suite software. so i was wondering is there any software like this? or does this even make sense, much appreciated.

I believe mIQ from Best Buy (formerly Dashwire I believe) does SMS as well as backup and other functions.

You should definitely check out mIQ! Does exactly what you're looking for. Also backs up contacts, calendar, and media.
