BUG. IE Mobile incorrectly resizes text whose font size has 7 or more digits eg. 1.2345678px which is made bigger, or 12.3456789px which is made smaller. not a big deal until you encunter sites making use of tag clouds. i've posted screenshots to mobango.com file share, just search for a user 'occupied' - all lives in this user's locker .

disclaimer: i'm on about IE Mobile 6.8 on WM5. any discrepancy with reality is entirely readers' fault. if the version looks like a prehistoric one for you then please consider the facts that i couldn't afford for newer versions/devices, and i'm using windows mobile only because somebody kicked me out of iphone camp's milist without evar knowing what i've done wrong - just wanna show the world that i can have so much fun with WM too. what's more, i'm a problem finder, not a troubleshooter.

@Occupied: are you using a Smartphone or a PocketPC Phone [TouchScreen]?

If you are using a PPC Phone then OperaMini is not for you, Try using Opera Mobile instead.

I use it on mine's X1 and no problems like that.

@Doministry: if you feel confortable using MINI it's fine!!! But the experience with Opera Mobile on a PPC and touchscreen is more desktop feeling.

ANOTHER TRICK FROM XDA-DEVELOPERS:

After much searching and tinkering I finally found a simple way to disable the annoying balance notification message that arrives after every data connection on the AT&T Pay As You Go service with a data package. This fix involves adding a single registry entry and it suppresses all USSD messages that originate from the carrier, even those that you might request manually.

Here is the registry change:

HLKM/ControlPanel/Phone
New value: SuppressUSSD := DWORD(1)

Add this value and (probably after a soft-reset) you will not be bothered with the $0.00 change notification messages...

OK!

However Opera Mobile is still a half baked beta....

To prevent any program from being downloaded and installed on PocketPC, simply go to HKLM\ControlPanel\AdminPassword and rename the string key "Redirect" to "xRedirect". If all goes as planned, shortly afterwards you'll find a new menu called "Policy" under "System" in Settings. To activate it, enter a password twice, and you're done, and your device is now secured, yes? No, not so fast, Billy kid. Apparently the mouse trap only works for Windows Mobile 2003 and nothing more. Maybe it's kept there as an easter egg?

Still from the subkey ControlPanel, you can personalize Settings to your heart's content. Each key underneath ControlPanel corresponds to menus within Settings, with DWORD entry Group's value tells in which tab that menu resides: 0 in Personal tab, 1 in System tab, and 2 in Connections tab. The change is effective after soft reset.

To hide a menu, if not already done, create a DWORD entry called "Hide" and assign "1" (0x00000001) as the value in the subkey you want not to show off. For instance, for added security measure just in case someone's got physical access to the device, you may want to hide "Lock", just go to HKLM\ControlPanel\AdminPassword and create a DWORD entry called Hide and assign 1 as its value. Change takes effect after soft reset - business as usual!
