I did not realize this until I needed it today, but ... ActiveSync syncs Outlook features, right? Calendar? Yes. Contacts? Yes. Tasks? Yes. E-Mail? Yes. Notes? Nope! Outlook notes are synchronized if you have a Windows Mobile device, but not if you have a Windows Smartphone device! I can't think of...
In addition to the comments I posted yesterday regarding my new Samsung BlackJack : Pros: Batteries can be charged via the included charger, or by connecting the phone to your computer, it uses the same USB connection to sync the device and to charge the battery, which is very nice. No need to...
I bought the Samsung BlackJack that I mentioned the other day . I've been using it on and off throughout the weekend, and so here are my initial thoughts: Pros: The form factor is incredible.

I know, I've found my "next phone" many times over the past few years, only to be disappointed each time.

I've been using it for almost 24 hours, so time to share my initial thoughts, both the positive and...
I've finally found a phone to replace the Treo 650 I love/hate so much. Perhaps. Nokia's new E62 is a thing of beauty. It's a smart phone with a similar form factor the Treo and Blackberry. It comes loaded with all the right applications (including e-mail, Good client, IM clients, Office compatible...
I've long suspected the Blazer web browser as a primary culprit in crashing my Treo. And so I was really pleased to have found an alternative, a newly released free version of Opera called Opera Mini that works on the Treo (you can download it via your PC, or on the Treo itself by going to that...
