In other words, "It's someone else's fault."

It is a text signature that shows up because of the toolbar for an addressbook I use Plaxo. I can't seem to turn this feature off. And as far as posting in html I can't switch this off either. I've tried but it won't. If you have a problem with it, don't read my posts.

Want to always have my latest info? Want a signature like this?



I want to hear more about your 6700. Have you tried out Slingmedia.com software on it yet? It basically turns your Pocket PC phone into your home TV.

As for your HTML post. You don't send the DefaultLogo.gif or the click_to_call.gif with it, so it can't take that much more room. Oh, and since I was having fun with your sig, I added gifs of my own to replace the ones that are not incluced in your post. I hope you like them. <G>

Because you are not computer literate we should put up with your HTML
crap on a text only usenet group? That really not very neighborly,
Loreal Marie.

Unfortunately, your cavalier attitude might piss off some folks who
happen to be downloading these messages on a dial-up network and have to
pay for the privilege.

Maybe that's to be expected from someone who would jump on the Plaxo
bandwagon.

Just think, though, how would you like it if everyone just went to:

and sent you a text message at 518-330-5188.

Not a pretty picture is it?

As Notan said **PLONK**

I've had most of the Sprint smartphones since day one -
Qualcomm, Samsung, Treo 300, 600, and then the very first Treo
650 to be unloaded in my home town. On the business side of my
life, I've had Blackberry and Motorola.

My new 755p has taken a lot of hits because it's no great
departure from its predecessors, but to me that's one of its
attractions - it's just more of the same excellence. The day I
opened the box I knew 99% of what was needed to operate it
properly, and owned hundreds of dollars worth of tried-and-true
software for it. Further, I had absolute trust earned by the
combination of Sprint and Palm. Their stuff just plain "works".

No, but since you've made a big deal over it I've uninstalled the toolbar, thereby losing many of my addresses. I never said it was anyone's fault. I'm sorry if my business signature bothers you or anyone else.

Let me ask you two questions. First off what is Sling (if I'm spelling it correctly? Like I said in an earlier post further up in the thread I have the Sprint PPC6700. I haven't used any other PDA having only used this for two months. I've been very happy with this device, but I don't know too many differences between the Trio and the other PDAs that are out there. I've heard that processor speed on several other pda models out there is half the speed of mine, and I'm currently running 416 MHZ processor with Windows Mobil 5.0. I may upgrade in a year or so to the PC6800 which has Windows Mobile 6.0 on it, but this of course is dependent on funds. I'd have gone with the 6800 now, but I got the 6700 for free and simply switched my service over to it.

I still have my Treo 650 and even though there have been some issues with
it, they were minor issues. They only phone I'd trade my Treo for would be
if Samsung came out with a new version of their i500, with more memory,
better screen, speaker phone and an SD Card slot.

I hate to tell you this, but even though your neat sig is gone you are still posting in HTML.

If you are using OE, look for the setting to change from HTML to "Plain Text" under Tools->Options->Send->News Sending Format.

I don't mind your HTML, I just wish you used a bigger font when you used HTML.

What do you mean? Which button is on the left hand side? I realized after the fact that I kept typing PDA instead of PDA phone. My PPC6700 is a Pocket PC phone. It's got 416 MHZ processor, I believe something close to 49 or 50 MB of storage in the device itself, plus there's also the expansion slot for a storage card. I currently have two cards, a one gygabite and a two gygabite card. What I've done is put my music on the smaller of the two cards and my audible air and audio books on the larger one. The bluetooth functionality is works well, and I've been happy with the battery life thus far. It's not a major concern of mine now, but I *MIGHT* consider getting an extended battery for this phone at some point... Maybe. One other thing I also love is the ability to charge this device from a computer by way of the USB cable. Gee, guess I don't need to look for extra outlets whenever I travel for business or personal trips.
Through Sprint.com's digital lounge I found links to 3rd party applications that you can purchase. I found one application I really like. It enables me to create ringtones from mp3, wave sound, windows media audio, or middy files. If I wanted to use a certain part of a music clip I take the file and edit it on my laptop, sync it to my device with Active sync, and select it as a ringtone for whoever or whatever. So far I've been extreemly happy with this device. I especially love the fact that if I'm away from my laptop for whatever reason I'm able to still get to my emails, browse the net, edit documents in Microsoft Word, Excell, or Power Point, and use Pocket MSN. I did have to pay for specialized speech output software which enables me to do everything since I have no vision whatsoever. That's where I ended up paying my money. The software costs as much as the phone, so even though I didn't pay for the phone itself, I did pay for something. Time to work so I can finish paying off that credit card bill. LOL! Please feel free to email me on here or offlist if you have any specific questions about the PPC6700.

On the following site, if you look at the right hand side of the screen at the Mogul (6800), you see where the navigation button ends up when you open the keyboard. It ends up on the left side of the screen instead of on the right side of the screen like it does on a 6700.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile

If you have the 6800/Mogul and go to Settings->System->Screen you will find out that if you set it up for "Landscape (left-handed)" it has the navigation button on the left side of the screen.

I consider it a "Left Handed Phone" and try my best to use the onscreen keyboard when possible.

I don't know if they tell you in the book for the 6700, but I've seen mention somewhere with one of those Pocket PC Phones. They say it gets a better charge if you use the wall charger that came with it. But sometimes, you don't want a better charge, just a charge.

As for the ringtones. You can already use MP3s, Waves and the other files you list without any editing at all.

Oh, yeah, "credit card bill." I don't do auto-payments on that anymore so I have to do it by hand. Thanks for reminding me.

I don't know if you know, but you can even reach this newsgroup with your 6700 with the following link:
