Subject: A mysterious Web site, GPRS,
Answer to: David Steer
Re.: A mysterious Web site - As to the website http://www.psixpda.com/ I sent
an email to the email address that appears on it to introduce myself as the
editor of the Digest and requesting further details. To my surprise the email
came back to me and showed the email address
This is Pinnock Organiser Services or"POS" as we all know it. I suppose they have layed their hands on a lot of
spare parts and plan to produce new machines from these, but this is purely
speculation from my side.
However, someone was looking for a REVO. POS sells reconditioned REVO's for
Gbp 125.- including the mains adaptor, docking cradle and manual. Look at
www.posltd.com (Errrrrr, I have no relation whatsoever with them, the usual
blabla).

Re.: GPRS - One thing I can promiss you, the S7 is very easy to set up to use
GPRS. I use it all the time with my T610, both in the UK and on the
Continent, and also used it in the USA as well as in Israel.

Subject: Sony T610-thanks
Thanks to all who posted comments/info/reviews on this phone. I got it for
my son, who needs an upgrade to a tri-band (for his projected international
travel) and this was the cheapest available from T-Mobile. I was wondering
whether I should confiscate it for myself because of the synchro feature.
Guess not. I'm using a Nokia 5610, and I do use the calendar feature,
infraredding appointments from my 5mx one-by-one, just so I have a handy
reminder of busy-days when I don't have the 5mx with me. I also like the
loudspeaker feature of the Nokia, since we use this as our long-distance
call-phone. As you can gather, I don't use the 5mx for e-mail or web-surfing
(I have a blackberry supplied by the office for e-mail, and can live without
out-of-office web-surfing), so WAP features don't matter to me. My 5mx is
primarily a sub for a laptop. I love the keyboard, word and sheet, and the
ability to synch the calendar with Outlook on the office system. For all the
complaining about PsiWont, it beats the blackberry synchro program hands down.

Subject: Orange 3G mobile card
Morning all,
Is the new Orange 3G Mobile Office card compatible in any way with the
Netbook? IIRC, the NB port door must be closed to operate the PCMCIA card,
has anyone developed a workaround for this?

Hi Kevin, first I must say I am no expert and can only comment on my own
experience!. I have used ordinary dialup access with Lineone, Force9/Plusnet,
and Ukonline for nearly three years now on their ordinary 0845 numbers with
no problems whatsoever.
This didn't even entail a call to Orange Customer Services as my simcard was
already enabled for WAP which is data after all!.
However, you are correct in saying that Orange will NOT give you a separate
fax and data line on PAYG, but that's not quite the same thing.
I read in this months PCW magazine that Orange are the only UK telephone
company that will give full GPRS access to PAYG customers, which I didn't
realise before. I just got lucky I guess.
Orange will give your sim card a free GPRS upgrade if you ask them, however
your phone MUST be GPRS capable, not just for WAP and I *believe* the 8210
does not support this.
You don't 'dial up' with GPRS, as soon as your phone is switched on in the
morning it automatically 'couples' to the GPRS network, it is actually shown
by a separate signal strength meter on the p800.
I used the Sony Ericsson wizard to get it working with my Libretto, I could
give you those settings which may help but people have talked here in the
past about using GPRS mobile phones with 5mx's so I know it's possible.
Regards,
Mike Dyer (sent from a Toshiba Libretto 70ct because it's got a proper
keyboard and is a clamshell 'sigh')

Subject: Re: Orange PAYG
Seems to be some conflicting reports here! We have a nokia 6210e and use it
with an Orange payg sim for ordinary dialup internet - freeserve - no
problems, easy to set up, we never had to do anything to "activate" the sim
for data or anything. We've never worked out though whether we are or are not
getting the benefit of the hsdc that the phone is supposedly capable of.
On a tangent - I have twice taken the 5mx and phone to Ireland, where
checking the mail has been straightforward if rather expensive; however I
have never managed to find a way to send mail! Our usual isp is Freeserve,
which uses CLID for its smtp authoriation - presumably Freeserve logs your
number in case of spam abuse etc. - no problem normally but calling from a
roaming mobile abroad does not seem to supply the CLID to freeserve so no
sending! Anyone have a simple solution?

I tried the email link on this website - my email asking for further info was
bounced back; but look whose server it was pointing at:
"The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
&nbon 20/09/2004 09:10"
Its either a joke or POS Ltd are up to something!

Itamar,
>Can the phone read such a file exported from the netBook and would all
fields be copied correctly or are there problems to be expected?
I wish I knew. I believe that the series 80 contacts application is a direct
decendant of EPOC R5 Contacts, so you should be lucky. Can somone test this
on the emulator, please? I don't have the SDK yet but it should be free from
Symbian or Nokia.

Subject: En Route problem
Hello again!
Having just claimed to be happily managing, I now find I have problems with
En Route. Because of broken machines, I have had to reinstall this. Now It
seems to install properly, but when I first run it it closes with a
"KERN-EXEC, Reason number 0" error message.
Does anyone know how to rectify this, or why it has started happening?
Kit
