I agree with MDS.....It has outlook, MSN and I.E.! Real web pages on a phone that is a great size, not a brick

hey MDS, you're very much excited about the spv phone! im just a little bit curious what are the advantages between chosing a phone from a computer giant and a phone made by phone network supplier? is it the internet content delivery or any? phone base vs pc base?

The handset software is made by microsft (code name stinger as you all know) the handset is made by the people who make the ipac for compaq - Orange don't make them.

there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but due to bragging and boasting it will now have to share the limelight with some uninvited guests who want to crash the party...and they all know what it'll be wearing when it arrives. |

At least 2 good reasons not to get one 
Outlook?! Again, microsoft can't even make outlook work well remotely, so on a mobile phone its gonna be even worse. E.g. if you access your exchange server through your VPN... it sucks big big time today. For instance using your laptop away from the office without synchronizing your mailbox, but getting new emails... It must be made by people who haven't actually used it!
No, I much prefer an email client that is anything but Outlook. I've used a proprietary email client on my 9110i and it was just working fine. The speed was that of a mobile network, but nothing unexpected happened, like waiting for ages without knowing what's going on...
And internet explorer.... Opera is much better. It's faster. And it doesn't crash as much as my internet explorer which collapses something like every 3rd time for unknown reason! And there are many small java web browsers around.
I'm talking about my own experience on my laptop, and I obviously don't have any good expectations if brought on a mobile phone where resources are much more stringent. |

Comparing your PC experience with the mobile MS OS experience are two different things. Secondly I dont know what ver of MS OS your running but I havent had a prob in years like what you mentioned about IE crashing???? What are you using ver 3.0?? I run XP PRO and latest updates and its flawless. Anyone comparing a mobile phone os to a real compuer os is not making a fait assesment.

What I need is a PDA phone... SPV will not do the job I want my phone to do. But, as I said it is a really good follower of the t68i.
All I want is a SPV with touchscreen and advanced PDA function or a P800 with 65k screen and more developers ready to invest in programs for it.
MS has a huge advantage because they can punt Word, Excel, PowerPoint and so on on a phone.  only can put a viewer for those documents (I haven't read anything about editing those filetypes on the instruction that are somewhere else in the forum).
SPV is really an impressive phone!!!
But it is not what I am looking for. Of course if you prefer phone and Pda separate you could put a  sd card, since all MP3 and documents could be stored in the Pda. I also think that is really becoming a standard... And a very useful one.. |

No one can beat the features and functions of the P800 at the moment. Still sticking to it! |

And here we go... Because MS is from US, the patriotic feeling wakes up
I'm running Win2000, Office 2000 and the latest version of IE... I've got 256Mo of RAM, and yet it can't handle it properly even with sufficient backup on my hard-disk. I get these error messages regularly (using nothing extraordinary: MS Word, Outlook, and I.E.) saying that the system is running short of memory resources and it cannot close that window!!! I.E. simply turns up these error messages all the time, leaving you no choice but to close it. This is purely ridiculous!
The worst is obviously that people usually experience different things from one PC to another using the very same OS... How consistent is that really?? It's undoubtedly that there is something wrong whether it be the PC (but here I fail to understand why, since PC is standard) or the OS which is unpredictable.
Again these guys have messed things up, and once more let me say that I really don't have any good expectations of what they could come up with on mobile phones, but surely they'll have a very hard time convincing me. |

Try doing a fresh install of Xp, if you installed XP over a previous install of another MS OS that might be your problem. Althought i Hve and have installed XP on about 10 different machines (including 2 lap tops) and never had any problems. All of these install except for 1 were upgrades not even fresh installs. But I have heard from other people sometimes XP runs better on a fresh install.
