I walked in last evening and played back my answering machine. Suddenly, I heard 6 words that I’ll never forget: “Comp USA has the Hitachi G1000,” said my friend, who just saw them put on the shelf at the Comp USA in Fountain Valley, California. I took a deep breath, then screamed in excitement. After all, this is the phone I’ve been waiting for since last January, when first reading about it. I skipped feeding my golden retriever, Cody, who sensed the excitement on my face and hopped in the car with me.

I received the case today (July 4th) after having placed a backorder with Verizon a month ago. I could not see myself using the "man-purse" and have lived with carying the phone in an extra case for my old T-Mobile phone. I was thrilled to find that I had received my case from Verizon. Here ...

How To Make a Portable Pocket PC Phone Edition Car Mount

I have been using a T-Mobile PocketPC Phone Edition (PPCPE) for about 2 months now and it was starting to get dangerous using it in the car without a mount. It is simply too low to lay it on a console or seat and try to use it while driving. I wanted to build a mount that would allow the PPCPE to be as close to eye level as possible while driving. I first looked into getting a windshield mount as this was the closest thing I had seen. I then read that they sometimes come loose from the windshield which I wasn’t comfortable with, and I also didn’t want to take my PPCPE out of it’s case (EB Slipper).

Comparison Between the Samsung i700 and the XDA

Introduction
I have been using the T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition (XDA) for the last nine months and just recently tried the Samsung SPH-i700 (i700) for 2 weeks. Why would I switch? There really is no good reason for me switching other than the i700 is the latest device, and us geeks have to have the latest. I was pretty happy with the XDA and it had served me well, solidifying my position on being a "single device" guy. As it turns out, I decided to return the i700 and keep the XDA for a little while longer. Not because the XDA is better, but because of my current needs. In this review, I hope to provide you with the information that I used to evaluate the two devices together.

Every once in a while when you are on the road, you need to write something and realize that you don't have a pen to write with. Wouldn't it be cool if your stylus could write like a pen? Well, there are nowadays plenty of multifunction pens for different PDA, but none of them were specifically made for the HTC manufactured Pocket PC Phone Edition (O2 XDA, AT&T Siemens SX-56, T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition, Q-Tek, etc.) ... until now. Brando Workshop has had a series of 3-in-1 stylii for quite a while now, and they are very popular and of good quality They have just released a 3-in-1 stylus for the XDA.

The Problem

If you own one of the flavors of the Pocket PC Phone Edition (made by HTC), then you are likely aware that the headset jack is different from most other mobile phones. Because this device is a PDA, and a phone, they have combined a normal stereo headset jack with a mobile phone ...

If there is one complaint that has been pretty consistent around the Pocket PC Phone Edition world, its been the cry for an affordable keyboard. At announcement day, the carriers all showed a thumbpad and a folding keyboard. Both were priced high (when compared with iPaq 3rd party keyboards), and neither ...
