Smartphone

My HTC Touch Pro 2 is working well.  No big surprises.  Some nice features.  Syncs well with both Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows XP Home

New Smart Phone

I bought a new HTC Touch Pro 2 from Sprint a few days ago. I now have it sync'd up with my Outlook Calendar, have my email id's configured. It has a few bumps and grinds but overall I am pleased with it so far.

It's an adjustment from my Sanyo Katana DLX. The Katana is a small flip-phone whereas the Touch Pro 2 is a smart phone providing blackberry like functionality. It has Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system which has some iPhone like components.

Weather here in Central NJ has been great the last two days.  Bright sun, perhaps a bit chilly but pleasant.

Peace,

Dave

Your First Tip

You may have heard about an email program that is included with Windows XP called Outlook Express. In Vista, it is called Windows Mail. In Windows 7 it is called Windows Live Mail. They all do generally the same function but each has subtle and some not so subtle differences.

So don't look for Outlook Express in Windows Vista or Windows 7. You will spend a lot of time and not find Outlook Express.

Also, you can choose to use a "web mail client" such as yahoo mail, or hotmail, or similar.

Have a great day and enjoy the weather.
