Questions Asked Of and
Answered By Dave
These are real questions from
real users and the answers they got back from me.
Some of the question may be edited if I don't think it relates to the
question.
"I am looking for a XV6600 PDA that I can use with my T-Mobile SIM
Chip."
The HTC Harrier (XV6600) is only for
Verizon/Sprint. The HTC Blue Angel is the same device with WiFi for
T-Mobile/Cingular. I-mate is the easiest to get in almost any area, but
look on this page for the HTC Blue Angel devices:

"Dave, would you be kind enough to
comment on the capability of various handhelds from the point of view of
using Microsoft office, word, excel etc. documents. Price is not an
issue. We were thinking between palmone lifedrive and ipaq 5550. Are
there any others that we should be looking at?"
Thanks, glad you like the site. I
strongly believe the Windows Mobile products have better support for
Office documents. That will be greatly improved in Windows Mobile 5.0
however there are not any devices with that OS currently. The LifeDrive
is a strong product and they have done a lot to make it compatible
though unless you need the 4GB hard drive, a Windows Mobile device may
be a better choice. I would recommend you look at something other than
the 5550 as it is an older product. Maybe the iPAQ hx4700 or the hx2000
series (like the hx2750 which has similar features). Both will also be
upgradable to WM5.
"Is it possible to make a custom ROM image for a PDA running Pocket
PC 3.0? "
Microsoft did offer Platform Builder
which would allow for devices to be built, though I don�t know if it is
still available. I also don�t know if that software actually allows for
the ROM images to be put on the devices. Usually manufactures like to
lock down the ROM images because of all the special things they have put
in, like custom drivers.
"Can You Please let me know how to perform a Master Reset on Compaq iPAQ
3870 pocket PC?"
Should be that you press 2 application
buttons (the far left and far right) at the same time that you're
pressing the one and only soft-reset button with the stylus.
