[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
Hello,

I'm a new TyTN user; my PDA history: Psion 5mx (+ Siemens S35i as IR modem), Nokia 6260 (somewhat limited, not as suited for input, but ok for recalling/reading stuff).

Main intended use is mail reading / 3G internet access and flight navigation (using PocketFMS + a Holux GPSlim 236).

I got the TyTN on Friday, but returned it on Saturday due to some issues with the keyboard (some keys didn't respond consistently: a, e, p, r, t, space, del, ...).

Anyway, I managed to play around with it an evening, and have some questions (some I found in the faq).

1. Where does the device get its bluetooth name? Mine didn't not use the device name (which by default is PocketPC), but used my full name (I'm guessing from owner info). I noticed in the FAQ there is a registry hack to set the bluetooth name, but can this be done "the normal way"?

2a. Is it possible to change the order of the programs in "Start > Programs"? Currently, they are listed alphabetically with folders first, but I would like the ones I use most often to appear on top, as to minimize scrolling.

2b. I noticed it is possible to move programs to a new subfolder in programs, but it gives a warning that this might cause some programs not to run properly. Is it known which programs don't like being moved (or when the issues occur)?

3. Cleartype only seems work in portrait mode. In the FAQ there is a registry hack; is Cleartype useable on the TyTN in landscape mode?

4. I'm using a number of mail accounts, but also a number of access points (wifi at work, 3G outside of work, ...). In the mail application, the SMTP server is linked to a mail account. However, if I want to use the same mail account using different access points, there should be an easy way to change the SMTP server. On my Nokia 6260, I created dummy accounts (for each SMTP server I needed), and changed the account by which a mail is sent (this is a property of the mail on Symbian). Can I do this on the TyTN? Are there perhaps better tools to achieve this (change it automatically with an access point, ...)?

5. I got the English version (I prefer my softwares in English :)). The downside to this is that in text entry, it only suggests words for the English language. Is it possible to add a second language (just for text entry, not in the user interface), in my case Dutch, to the device? I noticed there are dictionary managers that allow one to edit the user dictionary, so perhaps there are users that converted/created one to contain many Dutch words...?

6. I'm considering the Nokia HS-12w (bluetooth stereo headset with lcd display). How is the audio quality for this headset (in audio and calls) in combination with the TyTN? I mailed JetWare regarding their mobile extension, and they say they have an issue with their latest release (doesn't display caller name, unlike the last beta), but this will be solved. They also said "the TyTn does not allow us to route audio over the Hands-free Profile connection to support voice dialing from the HS-12W (or any other hands-free device)". Are there workarounds for this?

Finally, are there applications you can recommend that no wm5 device should be without (I found HTC X-button and MagicButton on this site)?

Or wm5 applications I certainly should not try?

Thanks!

(both for reading through this long first posting, as well as for answers you could provide:))
