Guest nevawlkalone Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) Hi, i intend to get myself an xda mini s somethime in the near future, however with living in manchester the threat of having this sexy device swpied from my hands by a filth ridden gutter rat (thief) constantly there, i was wondering if there where any apps that allow typin to be done like this That are either third party (preferably freeware) or built in. They have i on the m500 as the image shows but i was wondering if they did on the xda/mda/qtek/kjam etc..... Not that this app would stop it getting nicked, but it would stop me drawing sooo much attention to myself(when i dont want it that is) by not having to slide out the keyboard! Thanks for the help M Edited December 22, 2005 by nevawlkalone
Guest Phil Lee Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) I believe Phonepad is built into Windows Mobile 5 so comes as standard on all Wizard devices. I certainly have it on my MDA Vario. Edited December 22, 2005 by Phil Lee

Guest nevawlkalone Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 Any screen shots? Possibly?

Guest Shera76 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Posted December 30, 2005 Hi, i intend to get myself an xda mini s somethime in the near future. Hi, did you get a mini s? how does it compare to M500? Any thoughts? I like the look of Mini S but M500 seems to be a popular choice. :roll:

I like the look of Mini S but M500 seems to be a popular choice. :roll: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry to hijack the thread but.. I have been using an M500 for about 2 months and got the xda mini s yesterday,mmm, if only i could rip the two apart and make one perfect device! The M500 is great,runs almost anything you chuck at it but i needed wifi (i did use a wifi card but that's very inconvenient) and it looks good too. I had to get another phone contract so opted for the xda mini s, well it looks lovely- i especially like the keyboard, and this only makes it sightly fatter than the M500,the wifi is excellent- everything is excellent about this phone . EXCEPT... the bloody cpu 200mhz?? now i know it should cut the mustard but i have found so may apps will not work and even if they do - they lock the device up! It's early days with the xda really so i shouldn't slam it straight away but it's going to be a hard choice which one gets chucked on ebay. I guess its what you want out of a phone really,

I like the look of Mini S but M500 seems to be a popular choice. :roll: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No not yet, couldnt swindle o2 into giving me more minutes so i didnt bother atm.....got my PAYG C550.... Played with both tho and the m500 is definately better performance but for me the Vario is the Phone to have atm!
Guest Fred_ Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 I've just got a Mini S (after a C500). There are SO many input methods. If you don't want to use the slide-out keyboard there's 5 others you can use. - Phone Pad (as above) - On screen keyboard (tiny - you have to use the stylus) - Block recogniser (draw one letter on screen at a time) - Letter recogniser (similar) - Transcriber (write whole sentences and have them turned into text) I love it. Especially WiFi and using TomTom Navigator rather than TomTom Mobile.
Guest Fred_ Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 By the way - why isn't there a XDA mini S section yet?
Guest bsterngillet Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 By the way - why isn't there a XDA mini S section yet? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is - it's known by the original generic name from HTC - the Wizard. You can find the section under the PPC Device Specific area.
Guest Shera76 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 So for someone who isnt bothered about the wi-fi, would you recomment M500? Does the mini have the latest windows mobile?
