I Got A New Cell Phone - PocketPC 8125 - HELP!!! - GoFuckYourself.com

tASSy · 11-01-2006, 11:35 AM

okay, so after returning my Treo650P's - yes - plural - two of them broke and i was on my third...since APRIL of this year with cingular service - i spent yet another two hours on the phone with cingular to get what was fair - a phone that worked for the price i've already paid for my previous phones (since they never EVER worked right).

i live in a Mac/Apple world, so this PocketPC is no longer intuitive to me. the Windows environment is difficult to get used to, but i think i'm getting back to it.

my question is for anyone who has this kind of phone or a similar (perhaps older) model - what are your tips/tricks for this phone? the whole reason i want a PDA phone is so that i'm not strapped down to my desk but can still perform business functions from anywhere. (that's how the advertising goes right?)

good mail app? or the propriety one?
good multi-messenger program?
other tips???

help! i know i could RTFM but i don't have time for that!

I just bought the treo 700wx from sprint two days ago to replace my old 650

well for me it has everything I need, outlook email, term services client and I installed an ssh client

im all set

only issue is the lack of a built in wi-fi card but im getting broadband speed over sprints ev-do network around 800k down stable

as far as ppc the OS, well its still a microsoft product soits huge and buggy but overall im happy

tASSy · 11-01-2006, 11:55 AM

yeah i think the PalmOS is just shitty on that phone. i gave up on the Treo and moved on to the PocketPC 8125...i just need a program to hot sync my info from my phone to my Mac PowerBook.

suggestions?

i've had a verizon treo 700w for about 6 months now, and i am going to warn you about it. they start to work less and less well with each passing day.

my fone reception has gone to shit, it won't hot sync, it lags everytime i try to bring up my text messages, it won't connect to my email box anymore.

the list goes one. i am really starting to hate tis phone. but all i have been able to do is keep calling customer support and bitching. eventually i *may* possibly get a new phone from them.

but i think very soon i will be taking this back to the store for a new blackberry.

yeah i think this is why i got out of the treo line altogether. but the blackberry doesn't take pics or video, which i use a lot. i'm hoping for suggestions on the PocketPC line and programs for it...

Get Agile Messenger. It has ICQ, AOL, XMPP, MSN, YAHOO, and GOOGLE. It is also free.

munki · 11-01-2006, 01:41 PM

I personally use the built in mail, works fine for me for POP accounts, although I've noticed some quirks with IMAP.

Agile is a must have...

If you are hardcore into time tracking and tasks, look into Franklin Covey's management system.... works well for me in both PDA and oldschool organizer form.

brand0n · 11-01-2006, 01:42 PM

trade it in and get a blackberry

Wiseman · 11-01-2006, 01:49 PM

I use the treo Palm OS

Yeah I know the verizon version had all sorts of hangups mainly due to lack of memory

the one I have the 700wx has double the memory etc and runs faster then jimithefiends PC

tassy as far as syncing with the your mac you may have to do some serious googling im sure some geek someplace has written the code

good to know... not sure if i'm ready to argue with cingular AGAIN for hours to get a different phone but we'll see how this one goes. thanks!

Don't be fooled by the haters - the pocket PC phones rock.

You can run so many apps.

Check out sites like http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/ to get the low down on using with a mac.

There is mac syncing software available - can't recall the name off hand
