Waiting for my XDA2 I am using a girlfriend's Samsung p400. We will not discuss what it does not have ... but it has one neat feature:
The bundled software enables you to generate sms on your PC and sends it through the Mobile phone. Now this is great because
*You can use qwerty keys & not fiddly mobile ph keypad
*It is sent immediately
*Your no sent for replies
*Your recipients think you really smart at generating sms
*Internet sms sucks
Does this feature exist for the XDA2?
Please tell me it does and I will happily give the p400 back!
Check this software for SMS Managment with PC, it is freeeeee ...:

Microsoft Remote Display Control
Using Microsoft Remote Display Control, you can control a Pocket PC using a window on your desktop PC. You can see the Pocket PC's screen in a window on your desktop PC. And your keystrokes and mouse clicks on that window are sent to the Pocket PC. So you can do more than just sending SMS from your desktop PC.
Looking forward to try it
Thank you!
And there is an add-on for the outlook that O2 provides (it works great in Ireland but don't know in other countries) that you can send an SMS to anyone in your contacts. No need for mobile/XDA, nothing...ahh and it's free !
And here is a link, it's called "Desktop Text":

If you have access to your pc do a search on google for "free sms" there are a bunch of sites that give free sms through the pc on the web.

Hi Jargon,
I'm interested in using that software called MS Remote Display Control but when I tried going to the link you provided, I can't find any download that pertains to it. Could you help me which link to go? Thanks

Hmm nice language option there.... The screenshots look like they come from a hybrid SP Studio (free)/Jeyo Mobile Companion program.
SP Studio is Chinese but if you can find it in English its free and works well. The only problems are that you need to run a program on the xda 2 when you want to start using it so it connects and it doesnt support sms messages longer than 160 characters. The makers of SP Studio then went on to make "version 2" but renamed it to Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.0 available at www.jeyo.com. Its based on the same program but all of the limitations are gone and its properly translated. However its not free. Ive bought a copy myself and it works great, however steer clear of the Outlook version they make as its still very buggy for most users. Ive used a few sms managent programs and Jeyo is my favourite not only because of the send from pc feature you are looking for, but it can backup and restore all the sms messages on your phone cleanly and easily.

What do you mean by, "Got windows live on your device"? Is there an app, or are you just using Internet Explorer to browse to http://mobile.live.com
Rob
yes it is possible
@dny238: you can get windows live mobile for wm5 by searching the forums or form the ftp
@mrmrmrmr: indeed it is possible as i have it on mine
how to: ok i have only tested this on the htc AKU 3.3 test rom but it worked and it seems to left poket msn installed after installing windows live
basically all i needed to do was to enter the windows folder of my device and found a file called INSTMSGR with an msn messenger icon it loaded msn messenger (the old one that came with the device) and pocket msn appeared again in the start menu
please leave feedback on whethere this worked for you tell me your rom version aswell so i know which ones it willl work on and which ones it won't
will post screenshots as soon as i have time
i suppose using http://mobile.live.com you could have three email addresses going if th need be
Hey a bit side tracking but just want to point out, I've been trying windows live (the app version) on my SPV M3100. And basically it blows pocket msn, the web based Live and in fact any other messenger app out of the water. Its so easy and functional. First time MS got something right in a long while.
Just wish my wifi connection didnt cut off every time the phone went into sleep mode.
If you aint got Windows Live Messenger get it now.
( I should ask MS to pay me for the free promotion)
even easier
after fiddling with my old charmer I found an easier way to do it as the other method didn't work
go to windows folder, start menu, programs and set it to show all files the poket msn icon will apear but still won't appear in start menu so just copy and past a short cut to the same folder and voila poket msn and windows live at the same time and this does work
great if you have a personal and business email accounts and you want to moniter them both

I found this info here (in German) and thought I would pass it on, since I haven't found anything about it in this forum.
1) Export your FF or IE bookmarks to your PC (bookmarks.html)
2) Install Opera 9.xx on your PC
3) import the bookmarks.html file from step 1
4) make any changes you want in Opera, then close Opera
5) Go to C:\Documents and Settings\"USER NAME"\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile
and find a file called Opera6.adr
6) Copy this file to your Touch HD into the following directory:
My Device\Windows\Opera9
It will replace the Opera6 file that is currently on your Touch HD, and you should now have those bookmarks in OperaMobile.

Ahhh - search IS my friend - and this time my friend let me down!
I had searched and found nothing. I'll have to have a word with my "friend".
Thanks for the link. I checked it, but there it said it doesn't work.
Also, I noticed that Windows Mobile Device Center, has an option to sync favorites with the phone. Anyone know if that will do it? Or do I first have to import Firefox bookmarks into IE?

Well it worked for me!

Device centre will only sync your desktop IE with your pocket IE (NOT Opera Mobile... rather annoyingly).
I might be wrong on that tho... I have given up on Opera now in favour of PIE/PIE+, largely due to it's better rendering of forums like this (got fed up with fingerscrolling around to find page buttons and finger flick RSI for long pages.
Just as an aside, in Vista, the Opera6.adr file can be found at:
Code:
C:\Users\*name*\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\Profile
Here's a method which works (and it's free):
1. go to www.xmarks.com, create an account and download their plugin for your browser. Xmarks supports IE, Firefox and Safari. I use this to sync all my bookmarks between my work and home pc and it works flawlessly. You can create profiles to sync only certain bookmarks between different pc's eg. you may not want your work stuff on your home pc etc.
2. On your mobile enter "mobile.xmarks.com", log in to your account and, bingo, you can access all your bookmarks. I just did this a few minutes ago and it was a doddle to set up.
Whilst you don't have your bookmarks living in your bookmarks folder on your phone you at least have easy access to them via xmarks - and they're always in sync. And you don't have to enter the data twice!
I have a HTC Touch HD running Windows Mobile 6.1.
Also using Blackberry Connect to provide wireless synchronisation to email, contacts and appointments via my corporate BES.
Have the SoftMaker Office 2008 for Pocket PC to allow me to work on word, Excel and Powerpoint files on my mobile device.
The SoftMaker Office 2008 programs (Testmaker, Planmaker and Presentations) are all associated with the appropriate file file types.
For example if I click an an excel file the file is opened for editing by Planmaker, not pocket excel.
The Problem.
I receive office type documents as attachments in my windows mobile device email. However when I open the attachements from within the eMail the default pocket word/office applications are used to show me the attachment instead of the Softmaker applications.
I work in EH&S and the majority of attachents I receive are Incident Notification Forms which are a large multi tabed excel sheet. Because they are large and they take a long time and considerable space to fully download.
I am happy to be able to see the initial part of the attachment (with option to download more) but I would like to see this in Planmaker as pocket excel screws the formating so badly I cannot read the summary information (displayed on the initial tab on the spreadsheet) which I need to read to determine if I should download the entire file to my mobile device for immediate action or if it can wait until I am back in the office.
Is there a way to associate an alternative application (eg Planmaker and Textmaker) other than Pocket Word/Excel to handle attachements in the windows mobile e-Mail Client?
I have asked this of the Softmaker Office Support team but they were unable to provide a solution.
Hope I have explained my issue appropraitly, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Ed
No one with any ideas?
Hello
I was wondering whether anyone knows any apps or whether the X10 has anything built in that will open word or excel docs?
If I go into yahoo mail and download the doc to my phone, then try and open it with office suite or Documents to go (free) it says "this file appears to be an HTML file".
If I go into Astro and check the details of the file it says .doc or .xls.
I think I must be missing a step somewhere.
Any help would be handy.
Cheers Pete
Don't you have "officesuite" on yours? it was a standard app on mine - allows you to view most MS office files.
or get documents to go
