Hi,
I currently have an XDAIIs and TomTom Navigator 5.1. I am considering changeing over to the C600/imate Sp5/imate Sp5m/Qtek 8300 )when it comes in stock!). My question is will I have to buy TomTom Mobile 5 or can I use my TomTom Navigator? Surely this should work because I thought Windows Mobile 2005 for Pocket PC and Smartphones were supposed to share apps. Has anyone got TomTom working on this new devices? Was it a pain t install? Any info gratefull recieved. Many thanks -------------------- SuperSony

Welcome to the site
 You will need to buy TomTom 5 Mobile, but if you contact TomTom they may be able to advise you better on the options you have. Also at the moment there is not an official version for these newer phones and there are resolution problems. -------------------- Smartphone and PocketPC History

Maybe I misread somewhere that with WM2005 that apps can be used on both smartphone and ppc. Oh well! On another thread someone mentioned a hack to get TomTom running on the C500/C550 - I think a registry hack before and after as there is no offical version as you said. Does anyone know what the process is? I've been reading the other threads/post and really love this site. Thanks for the warm welcome

Hi UniqueTouch. Might want to read my post here about TomTom 5 and the phones you mentioned.

QUOTE(roma0803 @ Oct 28 2005, 11:45) hi roma, thanks for the link (i've replied there)...good to know a workaround is available. I think I will now be able to convert to Smartphone from PPC. The form factor is annoying on my XDAIIs and it has functions that i don't use - but the smartphone is the right size and has everything I need. I need to decide wether to buy the imate SP5 or imate SP5m Roma, how do you find the keys on the SP5m...I like the idea of the music buttons as I'll be using it as an mp3 player so they would come in handy. Is there a way to lock the other keys and blank the screen when they device is playing music? Sorry for the extra Q's

No problem
The key's on the SP5m are small. But I hardly push the wrong button when typing a message and that does surprise me a bit. I would have thought that would happen more often, but is doesn't I use Automatic Keylock and that program has an option to exclude Mediaplayer. Haven't tried this particular function yet. For the rest... I love this phone. It's absolutely great and WiFi is a great addition to Smartphone. More software should become compatible with WM5/QVGA over time, but it's a lovable phone 8) -------------------- When I die, I want to die like my grandfather, who died peacefully in his sleep.
