Heh.  I almost posted the link , but then I saw that it said "Posted on ... by Jaruzel" and I was like D'OH! This is his site!!  <br><br>I was gonna say "It looks like the Mondo is only available in Europe right now, I couldn't find anywhere in the US that sells them" but I 'm sure you knew that.. oh well - at least some more people might check out yer site now. Not bad!Last modification: erth - 12/14/01 at 15:31:46

It's ok. Not a brilliant piece of kit. These are the main things that bug me:<br><br>- Phone App takes up WAY to much memory when running.<br><br>- Phone App has responsivness of an arthritic tortoise - sometime I have to bash the 'pick up call' button several times before it answers.<br><br>- Unit hasn't got enough memory (16mb) and there is no expansion option.<br><br>- Pocket Outlook has this bug (design error) where it does an SMTP send BEFORE a POP3 collect, a lot of ISPs expect it the other way around, and hence refuse to work with it. I know that this is a generic PPC problem, but it's annoying none the less.<br><br>- Rubber gromits protecting the headphone socket and ext. arial socket fall off and get lost (I've lost 2 sets now)<br><br>- Battery Life is very short if online a lot.<br><br>On the upside however:<br><br>- SMS's are automagically pushed into Pocket Outlooks inbox.<br><br>- You can compose SMS's in Pocket Outlook and tap on 'send' for them to be auto sent via the phone app, seamlessly<br><br>- Tap and hold on a Contact entry (in Contacts) and select 'Call...' to start a voice call with them.<br><br>- With bluekite installed, Pocket IE just flies, none of this juggling a phone AND a PDA.<br><br>Jar.
