Guest coggy Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 Hi all This is my first post so hi to everyone. :( I have ordered the XDA Mini S smartphone and just waiting for delivery. I have been trawling the net all day to try and get an answer about the following. The purchase is mainly for organizing my life. I will be using the calender / to-do's / notes / word etc most and of course the phone. I want to be able to sync my calender etc with a calender on my desktop and vice versa. I have been looking around and am i right in thinking i can only use Outlook on my desktop ? I have office 97 on my desktop with outlook 97 and i hate the calender and to/do's etc on it. The calender i currently use on my desktop was from the software i got with an old Palm PDA, i don't use the PTA anymore but just use the calender etc and i love it. The problem with this software is i don't think i will be able to sync it with the new XDA because i can't sync my old calender with outlook so im guessing it won't work. Has anyone got any suggestions or do i have to use outlook? i suppose im thinking if someone buys the XDA and wants to see and share there calender / to/do's etc on there desktop and they have not purchased outlook then what would they do? Also the XDA is coming from o2. Will i be able to put my existing sim card in it that i have in my mobile now on a contract to keep the same number and put the new sim that comes with the SD in my old phone ? (yes i have 2 contracts going here but my wife is having my old phone with the new contract and new sim that comes with the XDA) Hope that all makes sense :rolleyes: Thanks everyone in advance :)
Guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) You should get a coppy of Outlook 2002 with the phone. Its a big step up from '97 :( Provided both sim cards are O2 and both phones are O2 (or network unlocked) then you shouldn't have a problem swaping the SIMs btw, the Mini S is a PPC not Smartphone so don't be suprised it the admins move this to the relevant section in the forums. hth gr BTW, welcome to the forums :rolleyes: Edited November 5, 2006 by Guest

I have just looked at reviews and screen shots of outlook 2002 and it looks very similar to the 97 version, i could be wrong but the reviews was very off putting. I would be very interested to hear what other software people use for their desktop calender suite etc to sync to there PDA's ? Would need to be compatible with the XDA Mini S :P
