Wessex_nut, i think you're right about doing not enough research on software & communication with your phone, etc
Sometimes, the answer is staring right at me!
I had to find a useful replacement for my Psion Gold Card
(Reliable worker on my Pocket PC!
), so I dug out the D-Link DME-560CT modem+ethernet combo card, I had problems getting it to work originally
(as mentioned elsewhere
), but I forced loaded the NE2000.dll drivers, got nothing. Un-inserted it, much later on
(to try it out, just for my father who was searching for the drivers!
) plugged in those magic CAT5 cables
(not BNC connectors here!
, plugged in the other end, while fighting my father to give the damm card back, the computer asked me if it should go ahead and use the card on 20% battery level, said yes and then I noticed a distinct lack of dialogue. Opened up IE and the damm thing was working all along! Much easier to check my emails now, despite my laptop being forced online.

Had a quick look, but will continue

and communication with a mobile phone is possible, i always use my j728 for sending sms, editing&backing up my phonebook
(try mphone - mobem.com, maybe they have a hpc pro version
) & mobile internet
(GPRS
). all of it via bluetooth
Got it already, just before you sent that message, a great application to have, does it allow you to make a call and then talk over your pocket/handheld PC without having to talk over the phone?
I did try to set up the MP to detect and work with the phone via infrared
(my bluetooth adapters are USB only atm!
), but it detected the modem and made some strange noises then on. That was until I told it not to use COM4!
Next step? Get a bluetooth card, just have to waste that £30 I raided from my account, which I now no longer need. I'll have to put that card up on the compatiblity list. I have no incentive to try out the modem functions on it yet, I don't need to!
I am wondering, did I make a mistake for going for a Mobile Pro and not a Jornada? My limited budget prevents me for heading for a MP900 or JD728, the latter is what I really would love. The JD680e
(ex-netherland rail ones?
) look tempting and pocketable, my MP is only JUST pocketable in a pair of old jeans with busted pockets. I did get it into a pair of jeanes with good pockets, but found it unconfortable and worrying!
Go on, laugh at me, the copper-top!
for the record, my height is 6ft 1in, incase you are wondering! If your eyes are sharp, you will see the MP!
BY THE WAY, I DO NOT RECOMMEND PUTTING YOUR MOBILE PRO IN YOUR POCKET, IT MOST LIKELY WILL RUIN YOUR POCKETS! YOU DO THAT AT YOUR OWN RISK! My unit as I said, only JUST fitted in one pair of trousers! Thats with no room to breathe or put anything else in, it was a tight fitting!
) and was amazed by how easily I adapted from my desktop keyboard or my old laptop keyboard. This is definately what makes the device.
