Smart and friendly Pocket PC phone
However, there is one significant advantage for Windows Mobile phones – these inconveniences can be improved with good software. Spb Mobile Shell will warp all the power of Pocket PC with easy and familiar interface. Let's take a closer look.
Spb Mobile Shell consists of three parts: a powerful Today Screen plug-in, a cell phone-like menu and a new standby screen.
Today Screen Plug-in
Today Screen Plug-in is a light version of Spb Pocket Plus, Spb Weather, Spb Time and some sort of photo-calling application.
One of the biggest advantages of Spb Mobile Shell Today plug-in is that it saves space on your Pocket PC's Today screen. When you install Mobile Shell it creates four Tabs: Home, Time, Weather and Dial.
The Home Tab is a smart quick launch panel. Its icon shows you battery charge status and the content is automatically formed from frequently used applications.
The Time Tab shows you time in three time zones of your choice and the next alarm time.
The Weather Tab shows a forecast for a selected city.
In the Dial Tab you can place photo icons of your contacts for speed dial.
Also, you can add any Today plug-in as a Tab. For example Spb Pocket Plus for customizable quick-launch of Pocket PC applications.
If you use and Spb Weather, the corresponding Tabs also have extended functionality like multiple alarms and weather forecasts for different cities.
Auto-hide function is another prominent feature of Spb Mobile Shell Today plug-in. It keeps Tab contents hidden when not in use, thus leaving Today Screen free to enjoy nice background pictures.
Phone-like menu
The second major part of Spb Mobile Shell is its Menu. It can be assigned to any hardware button or to the soft key of your PDA.
Spb Menu will look familiar to you if you have ever used cellular phone. It is really well considered. The menu has eight icons with submenus which perfectly fit in a landscape mode. For example, "Messaging" icon opens the submenu, where you can choose from items like: "Create new SMS", "Create New E-Mail", "Read SMS", "Read E-Mail". Very user-friendly, now you don't have to navigate through folders and menus of Messaging application.
Every icon contains such submenus with additional useful functionality that you can easily access. In Multimedia you can browse media library, start a slideshow or launch different modes of camera.
No need to tap on a screen with a stylus, all can be reached with a device navigation button or numeric keyboard.
"Now" Standby screen
Spb Mobile Shell also features a nice standby screen, called "Now". This screen can be activated manually, by the time-out or every time you switch your device on.
This screen shows all current information in a very tight form. Clock (digital or analog), weather for today, battery charge status and signal strength, missed calls, SMS, e-mails and upcoming appointments – all this information on one device screen and easy enough to read on the go - the thing mostly missed by users after switching to Windows Mobile Phone. Simple, nice and useful!
Conclusion
Spb Mobile Shell is a great application. Power means nothing without control, and if Windows Mobile potential is power, then Spb Mobile Shell is control.
It has practically everything that is needed for comfortable work with PDA like with an ordinary cell phone:
• Several Today Tabs, by the way, big enough to press with a finger
• Convenient dialer
• Photo-contacts on one of the Tabs
• Support of third party plug-ins
• Excellent menu: every application or setting can be easily reached without a stylus
• Under Tabs' stripe there can be other elements of Today Screen. The opening Tab will simply overlap these elements.
Besides, Spb Mobile Shell operates quite quickly, Tabs are switched instantly, and there is no difference in operating speed after the installation on Pocket PC.
As a minimum, this utility will allow to spare a considerable amount of space on Today by compressing six rows to one neat row on the screen. And as a maximum, it will enable to navigate a PDA with one hand only without a stylus.
With such application your device gets cell-phone usability and keeps all advantages of Pocket PC system, something that you should really give a try.

Are The TMobile Pocket PC Exchange And Repair Programs Worth The Effort?
| TMobile Pocket PC exchange and repair programs are just one of the things that consumers like about this top notch carrier. Through this program, a customer may ask for repair services or an exchange of his handheld via TMobile Pocket PC Repair Centers or through the assistance of a T-Mobile Customer Service representative. And according to customer reviews, the T-Mobile Pocket PC repair and exchange service is something that consumers can indeed rely on. TMobile's After Purchase Service As a T-Mobile customer, you can avail of the exchange or repair program if your Pocket PC is still within the warranty period (usually one year) and that the defect or damage is through no fault of your own. If such is the case, T-Mobile will send a replacement Pocket PC. Upon receipt of the Pocket PC replacement, you will then have to fill out a replacement form and send it with the defective Pocket PC within seven days. Otherwise, T-Mobile will charge you the amount of the handheld replacement. If, however, your Pocket PC is more than a year old (i.e., out of the T-Mobile warranty period), a replacement can still be dispatched to you while repairs are being done on your Pocket PC for a $70 fee. Don't want to pay the $70 fee? Call a T-Mobile Customer Service representative to know more about other options you may have regarding your defective or malfunctioning Pocket PC. Don't be shy; many Pocket PC consumers are unaware of the options they have when it comes to repairs, rebates and exchanges concerning their gadgets. A note about T-Mobile exchanges - if you have an old model handheld such as a Toshiba Pocket PC, T-Mobile may not be able to provide replacements or repairs for these handhelds because their manufacturers do not make them anymore. |

Why do I need a external antenna for my PocketPC?
| For stronger signal strengths, lesser static interruptions, and better GPS reception and accuracy, use an external antenna. PocketPC gadgets from HP iPAQ, Dell, and Palm, especially those with cellular phone and GPS capabilities, can work better with various signal enhancers. An external antenna is one of the numerous PDA handheld accessories along with PDA cases, screen protectors, styluses, car mounts, cables, and others that ensure total Pocket PC protection and improved functions. External Antennas For PocketPCs - Promoting Seamless Connectivity For PDAs with cellular phone and GPS (global position system), an external antenna can work wonders. An external antenna can be attached to the Pocket PC device and can be conveniently placed on the roof of your car, at the top of your desk, etc. An external antenna for your Pocket PC can utilize more signals making communication faster and more convenient. Even though some Pocket PC units, PDA phones, and cellular phones have their built-in antenna, an external one is still useful. A built-in antenna has certain limitations in sending and receiving signals because of its restricted size so the user has to find the right place to conduct his call or use the GPS of his Pocket PC. An external antenna can easily get better signals because it can place itself in a better radio frequency (RF) environment. Various points should also be taken care of before connecting an antenna to your Pocket PC. Other PDA accessories, like cables or connectors, are needed to connect the antenna to your Pocket PC. Longer handheld cables lessen the signals, so shorter cables should be chosen where possible. The location of the external antenna should also be considered. For example, when you're on the road, the perfect spot to put the Pocket PC antenna is on the roof of the vehicle to widen handheld signal coverage. |

PDA Stuff: YouTube on Pocket PC Devices
I found this website called YouTube Pocket. I don't think it's affiliated or sponsored in any way by YouTube, but I wish YouTube offered something like it. It allows you to watch ANY YouTube video on a supported Windows Mobile PDA or Smartphone. It involves installing TCPMP media player and the TCPMP FLV plugin. I'm using a Dell Axim X50v with WM6.

Tips on Buying Your First Pocket PC
Haven’t got a Pocket PC yet? But do you have intentions in getting one? Then read. This article is designed to give you exact tips on how to buy your very first PPC. It’s not that hard.
Tip # 1 – Smart Decision
First, decide why in the world would you want a PDA? If it’s just for fun, that’ll be fine. Before anything else, you have to realize your reasons why you wanted to own a PDA because if not, then you won’t enjoy it once the package has arrived. Your decisions must require smart thinking. If you think a PPC can help you throughout your daily routine or in business, it’s worth owning.
Tip # 2 – Educate Yourself
It is of major importance to know the different things about the device that you wanted to buy. You can’t just purchase it because it’s cool and looks fancy. You’re better than that. Read articles about the different capabilities of the operating systems. This will help you better understand the importance of your PDA. Furthermore, educate yourself with things about PPC. Remember, an informed consumer is a smart consumer.
Tip # 3 – Communicate With Others
Communication is important to better understand and appreciate things. Ask questions using the company’s forum page in order to be informed of the different aspects about your choice product. You can make an intelligent conversation with PDA manufacturers and ask about the goodness of their product and how it can contribute to your living. You can also ask other PPC users on how the device is working. You are still educating yourself with these tasks.
Tip # 4 – Visit Websites
Usually, websites have all the answers. If you’re not sure about how PPCs are bugging you, visit review websites and categories of their top pick. This will give you a better chance of identifying the different kinds of hardware that’s available in the market today. Reviews can also give you ideas on how a particular device is doing in the industry. Websites like these can also give you information on the things that you ought to do and not to do.
Tip # 5 – Go Out Shopping
Nothing beats walking around town looking for a PPC. Go inside PPC shops and ask the attendant to assist you on the ideal device. If this doesn’t satisfy you, you can ask the attendant to let you play with at least three to four models to be able to give you the feeling on how it is to hold one apart the other. Holding the models and working them will also give you ideas on the differences of one another.
Tip # 6 – Before a Purchase
Once you have found the right item for your purchase, don’t buy it just yet. Roam around and look for similar models first. This will save you from a couple of bucks if in case you have found something similar and cheaper than the first one. Compare prices intelligently. Be sure that the unit doesn’t have any packaging marks or bruises.
Tip # 7 – Enjoy
Now that you have your very first Pocket PC, turn it on and let the browsing begin. It doesn’t end there though, with your PDA, you can do numerous things aside from the usual activities.

Pocket PC and Freeware Applications or Games
• It is not true that freeware applications and game downloads are full of Trojan horses and spy ware. Some malicious software does contain viruses but only a little percentage. It is very important to double check the site’s background. For the beginners, you can download from reputable and well-known websites to avoid such problems.
• It is also not true that freeware software only works for a couple of days because they are crippled. There are software applications and games which work this way and that is called shareware. If you don’t register, you can’t continue using the said software. By paying the registration fee, you can continue enjoying the software. Freeware is not like that. You can get the full version of the application or games for your Pocket PC.
• Freeware is said to be of no value and that’s why they are offered for free. This is another misconception about freeware applications and games. If the downloadable software is nothing of value, then why would other people search for it online? True enough, you can find abysmal programs out there in some freeware sites. If you’re only diligent with your search, you can surely find absolute gems in the freeware sites. You just have to know where to look for the best downloadable applications and games for your Pocket PC.
It’s a good thing that there are good hearted programmers out there who are willing to share with other people what they already have. Without them, the internet may not even exist.
So next time you want to get a new Pocket PC application or game, don’t purchase yet. Look into the different freeware sites and see what they have to offer. With only a few hours surfing the various websites of freeware downloads, you can already save a lot of money on the applications or games. You can use the saved money in purchasing other more valuable things.
Now, is your mind cleared about the common misconceptions about freeware programs? Always keep in mind that the best applications and game downloads in the freeware sites are free of viruses and spyware. Don’t believe in the wrong things about freeware because that will only discourage you in surfing the various websites.
Pocket PCs are gaining popularity in the recent years. Many people are interested in owning Pocket PCs and it’s worth the investment because you can use the mobile device at home, in the office, or in any other place. You can take the lightweight device anywhere and so you can use the freeware applications or games conveniently. Choose only the most important applications to download and also your favorite games since these things can take up a lot of memory space.

Safety and Security Tips on using Your Pocket PC
Convenience equates to risk. Admit it. A Pocket PC is one very convenient way of connecting to the world without just a click of a button. It offers more possibilities attached with convenience. Although, these added conveniences puts an owner at risk. In addition to security problems and threats that you have to face regarding your desktop computer, you can have the same problem with your wireless device through networking.
The smaller the size of your device, the easier it is for your Pocket PC to become more vulnerable to the naked eye – stealing it or file corruption. You have to protect your device in three security levels namely: network, data and physical.
Network security refers to the assurance that the device will not fall into the wrong hands and other people won’t be able to use it to tap into your network. To avoid such internal problems, you have to take some steps in protecting your entire network by considering some of the factors below.
• Disabling WiFi and Bluetooth connection when not in use. This is helpful in saving your device from unwanted outside connections, increasing the life of the battery and stabilizes further security.
• Use notification and monitoring programs to track and detect hidden activities done in your Pocket PC.
• Administrators must establish a governed policy for the handheld device that will connect to the network.
• Always update your LAN driver in order to use the WPA or WiFi Protected Access instead of using WEP.
• Use private networking virtually to be able to connect to your company network.
Data security refers to the assurance of the device to be safe in case it falls to the wrong, prying hands. Even if the OS is accessed, you’ll have the feeling that your business and personal data will not be accessed. Managing this can be easy by doing the following:
• Store your sensitive data on your memory card then remove it when not in use. Make sure that the memory card itself doesn’t get lost.
• Don’t allow any access to applications that might be used to read important data. Use a software like PDA Defense.
• Always see to it that sensitive data are encrypted wherever it is stored.
Physical security refers to the protection of the device from theft or loss and prevents OS accessibility in cases of the device falling into other people’s hands. This is also considered as your first line of defense.
• Store and carry the device securely. Never let your handheld device just hang around your pocket or kept inside a shoulder bag. It’s better to keep it very close to the body as possible or if not, put it in a briefcase that’s also secured with a pin number or attach a PDA case to your belt.
• Prevent OS accessibility. You can at least put on a password or security pin code before opening the device. Use a very strong supported password.

Reasons Why You Will Purchase a Pocket PC
Some people who are too ignorant of modern devices will make fun of PDAs. Why? Most probably because they keep on thinking that devices like these are just filled with games and senseless materials. Well, in fact, no.
We’ll start this one-sided conversation by telling you what’s a PDA.
PDA is an acronym for Personal Digital Assistant that’s basically just the size of your hand. It can be brought around town and use it everywhere you could possibly go. PDAs are considered as very powerful devices, oftentimes equalling the capabilities of desktop computers. With an impressive timetable of PDAs, there is now a mass purchase of these devices which can be solely used or for the intention of many.
No matter what kind of operating system that’s used, their features are quite the same. One of the many features that a PDA offers are:
1. Address Book – this holds all your contact’s addresses, phone numbers and even their home or office addresses. It keeps you in track of all the important people in your life.
2. Keyboard on Screen – makes your clicking and typing life easier by letting you encode things right on the screen or if you don’t want such brutality made to your newly bought PPC, a stylus is readily available and is more appropriate to write with.
3. Backlight – mobile phones have it, why not PDAs? This increases your chances to see in darker places. Backlights can also be customized based on your choice of color.
4. To-do-list – are your reminders and to-dos stuck somewhere in your head that you can’t seem to remember where you have put it and ended up forgetting an important task like a rendezvous at the laundry shop? This can help you remember them.
5. Email – this is one of the most favorite parts of a PPC owner. It enables them to stay connected with the internet world without struggling to get into their office and send or read a very important electronic message.
6. Datebook – for professionals who are always on the verge of every lunch and dinner meetings, the datebook feature is one of the most important aspects of a PPC. It covers your important dates like meetings with the big boss or other companies, appointments with your team, a date with your girlfriend. This has the same format as those bulky daily planners.
7. Note Pad – just because you don’t have a pen and paper doesn’t mean that meeting’s over. With the note pad, you can jot down important details of your life, even ones that seems unimportant.
8. Character Organizer – instead of typing, you can use the stylus and write it down on the screen yourself.
9. Calculator – a device is never complete without a calculating program. Even engineers and medical practitioners are thankful for the calculator.
Aside from the basic features that were just mentioned, which also makes more reason why people buy such a fad, there are also factors of entertainment that is involved. You can play music and even watch your favorite videos. If your bored with the same old thing, you can relax yourself through your Pocket PC by playing a game or look at your pictures every once in a while.

How to Back Up a Data in Your Pocket PC
It can be quite irritating and, in a manner, devastating to lose an entire data full of important files. You can cry your hearts out and put the blame on everyone and everything including the PPC itself, your boss, your team, the manufacturer of the device, and even your dog. You can blame everyone but that will not work on retrieving all your lost data. Usually, someone will think of backing up their important files after every data gets lost.
Backing up a file is easy. But only a few does this. Why? Maybe because of supreme faith in their device. The feeling of backing up files is not as thrilling as bungee jumping or sky diving. It’s quite boring and monotonous. That’s why this article is giving you quick tips on how to back up your files in less than ten minutes. Please don’t hesitate, it’s for your own good. It’s saving you from future alienation. This won’t cost you anything so try to participate.
Instructions that were made were created using Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7, a PPC with Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows 2000. The following instructions may slightly differ with the abovementioned software.
Step # 1 – PDA Connection
Open your PPC’s ActiveSync. Click on the details then double-click the icon for the green ActiveSync located at your taskbar near the clock.
Step # 2 – Moving on to the Backup
Still within the ActiveSync, click on the “Tool” icon just above the page within the menu bar. Select the icon which indicates “Backup/Restore”. This will route you to the page where you’re supposed to activate the backup system.
Step # 3 – Working a Backup
On the backup page, you can select the type of backup that you would want your PPC to do. You can choose from the incremental or full backup. Example, if you have selected “Full backup, Back up all information”, click on the “Back Up Now”, then put a mark on the statement that says “Automatically backup each time the device connects”. Then click on the backup icon now. If you have chosen incremental backup accidentally, you can revise it or just leave it there because all your files will still be saved.
Step # 4 – Completing Backup
Now, you can sit down, and relax and wait for the backup process is completed. This will take you at least five to ten minutes. The speed of backing up a file will depend on how fast your computer can download files.
And so there it is. Once the backing up of files is finished, you can exit the program and go on to your work. Always remember to back up all your Pocket PC files into your desktop computer to be able to save it and store it safely. Never compromise the importance of backing up your priceless files for these backups may just save your day.

Choosing Between Pocket PC and Phone
Still, other mobile phones impress phone users with their multimedia capabilities. As you can see, smart phones can be found from the smallest to the PDA designs that feature a keyboard like the Pocket PC. So what it’s going to be - a mobile smart phone or the new Pocket PC?
To start with, try to look at the various features of the Pocket PC. The Pocket PC is available in different models but most of them have standard features which include the multimedia capabilities. Just as the name suggest, it’s like having a personal computer that fits your pocket. Now, you can take it anywhere you go and you can use it anyway you like.
A good thing about this tiny PC is that you can use it at work or in times when you want to play or relax. With your Pocket PC, you can browse the internet freely. The mobile device is quite amazing due to its versatile features. The device allows the user to save various applications and even games. Some of the applications include voice recognitions, mobile surveillance, pocket TV, pocket bible, and many others. There are also Pocket PCs which allows you to stay connected with the IM features.
With so many applications offered in the market, you need to choose only the ones that you will use at the workplace and some good games that you want to play with during your vacant hours. You have to ensure that there is plenty of available memory so that the programs will run smoothly. The applications or games can be purchased online or you can also take advantage of the freeware websites.
Now, take a look at the mobile smart phones. Ever since mobile phones were introduced, it has definitely gone a long way. Some models of mobile phones also allow you to surf the internet and play games. You can take pictures because of the built in cameras in the handset and you can listen to your favorite music anytime.
All in all, Pocket PCs and mobile handsets are somehow the same. The decision will now depend on the individual and his needs. Before you shop, identify first your needs. After that, you can now compare the features of Pocket PCs and mobile phones. Once you’ve compared them, you can choose which mobile device can meet most of your needs (if not all). Price is another consideration.
Pocket PCs are more expensive than the mobile handsets and if you have budgetary constraints, you should choose the device that you can afford. If you don’t have insufficient money at the moment, you can just postpone your shopping spree and save first or you can borrow money from friends or family.
There are various considerations when purchasing the appropriate mobile device. Just remember to get the device which you can afford and one that can meet most of your needs.
