"Thousands of soft resets???" What apps and unit are you using?? I have had to soft reset mine just 3 times since I got it,and that was only due to third party apps!

If you are having to soft reset it that much, get rid of whichever apps are causing your problems!

Make sure you download version 1.35 - just released in late March 2006.

Get the ARM version. Works fine on WM5.

Viewer, slideshows, supports more formats than any graphics PPC program I've used, including PNG and TGA. Convert from/to many different image formats. Screen capture that can be timed - you determine the delay time. And save the capture as BMP, JPG, GIF, etc.

I own SplashID and Resco Picture Viewer, but I use this freeware.

Because the existing one is tougher to use for many.

The features of Pocket IE have not changed since it was first developed.

Opera, when they get it working better, has tabbed browsing, has a special rendering engine that makes virtually all webpages optimized for handheld screen viewing, setting and using bookmarks/favorites is much easier. Just a nicer feature set all around.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] J-Mac:
Well then why did you install it???
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] uwaku:
It's an app killer. Slave it to a hardware button, then open something like File Explorer. Now hit the button. It kills the app.

What I don't like about it: there's no quick way to see what apps are running, like with Magic Button, Wisbar, and PocketNav (my old favorite).

What I love about it: it's not a terminate-&-stay-resident program, so it's not running all the time like those other progs. When you activate it, it simply kills the currently-running-app, then disappears again. Simple, quick, & to the point.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Yul:
That's right, nevertheless I meant the mobile-version. In theory you have to pay for it, but only when they manage to release a final version. Until then, it seems, they bring out one trial after another, the actual version is not restricted to 45 days, but 'til the first of June...

And regarding Opera's features, I'm willing to pay the price, when they finally release it... :D

Opera manages to display webpages IE is not capable of showing them. Simple. If that's not an a strong argument in favour, what else??? Storage-space? - Come on, miniSD is up to 2G right now, you wouldn't even realize Opera's installed!

You could install Pocket Plus which adds a new menu to PIE (Spb pocket Plus -> Save As) which allows you to save the opened file as .cab (or to save it anyhow and later to rename it).

Or try Opera :)

Pocket Hosts for WM5 hosts file

One of my must-have apps is Pocket Hosts by Marc Zimmerman

http://www.zimac.de/cestuff.htm

This allows one to create a hosts file on WM5 just like a normal OS.

I created entries for my dozen or so most frequently visited sites (including mail2web, so my remote exchange syncing is speedier).

Open DNS is good, but this reduces resolve time to 0 for any URLs you enter (well, as close to zero as WM5 can make it).

You can see this dramatically when you run a traceroute on one of the domains you entered into the hosts file - instantaneous resolution.

On a related note, does anyone know the url that Agile Messenger connects to for AIM or Google Talk? I guess I can run ethereal while the phone is connected to my computer but that's sort of a PITA.

And as other people mentioned, Virtual Earth Mobile. This program is so much better than the Google Maps applet. Very usuable. I put the map cache on my storage card and increased its size to 100M. Now all of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn are cached on every zoom level and I don't have to download the road maps for 90% of my searches.

My favourite registry editor is RegEditCE http://nsolan.free.fr/About.RegEditCe.v1.htm , which I've never seen mentioned here, but I've been using it since WM2002 on my iPAQ. I hate that Total Commander doesn't show the value of the keys when you view the list, so that's why I prefer this one. It's super lightweight and looks just like windows regedit. No installation necessary just run the exe on the device. I don't see v 1.2 on the website so I'll attach the exe. The only problem is that it doesn't use the soft keys. But then again, neither does Total Commander.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:

the exchange software is already built in with activesync, but if you upgrade your phone to the latest rom, you have directpush mail. and if you have directpush mail, you might want a server to sync it with.

i provide this service, and it syncs everything on your device (mail, contacts, calander, tasks) instantly via GPRS (or whatever internet connection you are using).

The best part is you can keep your current email address. I provide one email alias per account for free, so you can send mail from your gmail account. and simply forward your gmail to your device email address, and tada! instant mail.

Weathertogo has poor forecasts

I tried Weathertogo 4.1, even though I am a handyweather subscriber. Handyweather does a great job on world weather but uses up too much space on the today screen, so I just have a jump to it. I like the compact version of weathertogo today screen, but the accuracy is horrible. Instead of using zip codes, they use NWS weather regions. These are too large for reasonable accuracy. Yesterday, the low in CA_z047, which includes Pasadena, was 20, but the low in Pasadena 38.
