02 Stellar basic question

[Guest meghann]

hello all- newbie here.

work just sent me an 02 stellar. i used to have a motorola razor and quite old hp pocket pc. the hope is that this new device will merge the two.

questions:

1- the selection of alarm clock sounds is quite limited- i've downloaded some ringtones, but can't figure out how to see them in alarm clock drop down menu.... any advice?

2- what exactly is 3G? will this work in Japan?

3- with the hp pocket pc- when i'd change time zones- my appointment times would then change accordingly. Not what i wanted. so i just stopped changing the time zone at all (since i was using my phone as an alarm clock, i could just change that time zone).

however, now that the two are merged this is an issue. i flew to vancouver this morning, the time changed automatically, and now my appointment times are all screwy. i realize it's only doing what it's being told, but is there some way around this?

4- i realize my tomtom 5 won't work on the 02 stellar. any advice for tomtom vs copilot live software?

5- is it possible to use GPS with something like google.maps?

thanks in advance!

well... i think i found several answers to question 3- outlook time zone issue.

i've downloaded two things- one is webis toolbox & the other is citytime. i found city time quite cumbersome to use since it was a seperate menu than outlook appointments calender.

however- i really like webis toolbox. it prompts you to changes your appointsment back to what you orginally set, when you change time zones. exactly what i wanted!

Ok I'll try to answer some of your other Q's

1. Alarm Tones (and SMS tones) must be in .wav format, put them in \Windows

2. 3G: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3g Don't know if Japan has it or not though

3. You've already answered it seems!

4. I use TomTom 6, you can DL it from HTC E-Club, see my post in this thread for more info: http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-Kaiser-K...ere-is-tomtom/#

5. Google maps, and Live search (which I prefer) both work perfectly with the internal GPS
