MC35 - Day 30

Got the GPS to work thanks to the nice folks at GeoTerrestrial who make a wonderful tool called GPSToday. www.geoterrestrial.com

You have to set the external GPS settings to COM8, 38400 baud in the system settings . This is not setup by default at least with the WM6 upgrade.

MC35 - Day 29

I figured out the echo problem (it was even happening on my headset):
Set the volume lower! (they all tell me I speak loudly though)

MC35 - Day 25

I am checking my email while on vacation. These things really are like crack.

MC35 - Day 20

MC35 GPS is working on and off, some older software don't seem to work at all.
Maybe I should RTFM. (or actually buy software rather than try obscure italian freeware).
If an ISV would like to send me a free copy of their software, I promise not to say bad things ;o)

MC35 - Day 16

Just got a my accessory pack with autocharger holster (car+belt) and extended life battery. Note on battery life: OK with regular, great with extended life. Just like every other smartphone. With 2x battery I last 2 days including Wifi and voice usage. Do make sure you set your power and radio mode to auto-adjust or battery save.

MC35 - Day 11

Just upgraded the OS to Windows Mobile 6 (at 1/2 price until June 3.0th)
No big changes but generally improved.
Bad news I lost all my data.
Good news is I've gotten rid of some crap software (Zumobi comes to mind)

Speaking of software installs, get an SD card (1gb should be enough) and put as much as you on can there (including email attachment) the main storage fills up quickly. Also erase your install files when you are done.

MC35 - Day 9

Brought the MC35 to an Apics annual conference. All these "productivity geeks" (It takes one to recognize one) just drooled.

I think the crackberries are in for a rough ride long term. WinMobile on the corporate side, Apple iPhone on the consumer side...

MC35 - Day 5

Tried finaggling during weekend with email settings and gave up and installed gmail. Works great! (though I now have 6 inboxes)

MC35 - Day 2

I've finally acquired my SIM card and Motorola H700 BlueTooth headset.

Very easy to connect the headset.

Voice quality was imperfect at first, some echo mostly (hands on and free) but it improved quickly, there must be something at work in the background.

A collegue with a Moto Q9, told me there is a mail workaround with gmail to send my email. I'll have to check if the same works on Yahoo.

MC35 - Day 1

I think I am addicted.

No cellphone coverage yet, but WIFI is great and easy to use.

I am getting my BlueStar & personal emails delivered to me :-)

Sending is another story, all servers are blocking because I am outside their networks :-(

Any Suggestions?
