MobileMe and Diamond - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I use Mail2web for exchange and it is the worst experience, so I was thinking of paying the $100 and moving to mobileme from mac.
Does anyone have it working as a push service on the Diamond?
I think that it is very tricky to use it as your own domain for now, though some workarounds exists.
Conceptually, if it can run with outlook, it should run with PPC no??
IE activestink can do it?

FOr only mail, i would suggest hook up a gmail account to it ...
I use gmail for all my mails, even exchange forwards them there, and gmail takes the mail from my own server once in a few minutes.

I use Sherweb for hosted exchange. They also provide me with a free Sharepoint site, Outlook web access, access to the server via desktop outlook and a licence for outlook 2007 and entourage.
All for $8 a month - no contract. I can cancel any time.
Remember, Mobileme is an apple product - meaning limitations ahoy-hoy.
No synching of tasks I think..

Thats a bit weird, you have a Diamond, and you want to use the competitors email service that replicates what Exchange has been doing excellently for years. Sherweb is cheaper than MobileMe by a few quid a year, and will actually work with your phone, unlike MobileMe.

What are you nuts

What are you wearing Microsoft team colors???
I think mobile will offer 10x more than these crappy hosted exchanges we suffer with. Just want it to work first that's all.
MS Active Sync is the pinnacle of crap MS development.

Whats wrong with exchange though? Mail2web is free isn't it? Maybe thats why youve had a poor experience
I use SherWeb and i'm really enthusiastic about it because it works really well. For £50 a year I have tasks, mail, contacts and calendar pushed to my main computer, laptop and both phones. MobileMe will do that, but without the phones and without the tasks, so it seems odd you would want it.

You have to be kidding me!!!
Mobile Me is going to be restrictive and crap, as like all things Apple.
ActiveSync and Exchange work damn well.

That made me laugh too - If EAS is so crap, then why is one of the main features of the new Iphone 2.0 is that it fully supports EAS?
Makes me wonder why you got something like a diamond and didnt go the complete Apple route if its so wonderful

So you guys like active sync?
Active Sync??? is good? The P.O.S. software ever written! Nothing but bugs 5 years after release.
Do you any of you have a good active sync experiences??? (Exchange is fine, I agree)
Hint: Search the forums for problems activesync, across this entire site.

The main benefit on using an apple service like mobileme over your average hosted exchange, is the ease with which you can get back your details if you lose or forget them. So easy that in fact anyone can get their details. Or yours.
But if all you're doing is mail, yeah go with Googlemail.

but on a serious note, exchange is pretty easy to retrieve lost data too. You can even remote wipe any devices that may have got stolen.

The Kaiser is the winner in PCPro's Smartphone test

In the current issue of PCPro magazine (UK) the Orange version of the Kaiser is chosen as the best smartphone in a comparative test.
I notice that the test lists the huge range of features that the Kaiser has as a big plus point, plus the keyboard.
Having had the Kaiser now for about three weeks, I am coming to the conclusion that the Kaiser is the technological equivalent of a Spork. A spork is a cross between a spoon and a fork. At the risk of being a little unfair, its not a very good spoon and its not a very good fork, but at least its one utensil rather than two. I wonder if the PCPro guys really tested out all of the Kaiser's functions (such as the camera - slow and no flash); or the video; or the less than intuitive functions, of which there appear to be quite a lot? In my experience, easy to use it ain't (although I admit to being a smartphone novice).
It has occured to me that the Kaiser is probably best suited to techno geeks rather than to your average user. I remember that years ago I bought an Iriver MP3 player rather than an Ipod, because it had more functions. Most of the iRiver message boards were concerned with how best to tweak the player, so that it would be easier to use (as easy to use and as intuitive as the Ipod). Eventually, I got fed up with the iRiver and bought an Ipod.
My conclusion after three weeks is that the Kaiser sells mainly on multi-functionality, whereas the Iphone sells on useability (and looks). As a non-techie (as most punters are) I think that the Iphone would probably have suited me better for internet and email. I hope to change my mind as I persevere with trying to get its various functions to work.
Who are you calling a techno geek?!?!
Oh yeah, that is me in a nutshell!
Thats why i got the Tilt over the iPhone though. I knew that i could customize and do tons more stuff on the tilt over the iPhone...maybe that just means i have too much time on my hands...
ps, i also got an iRiver over the iPod. my reasons were that i could treat it like a hd instead of tying myself to iTunes (i though you can go around iTunes, but thats besides the point).
If you wanted to browse the internet, the Kaiser is the way to go.

Possibly, as I do like to play with things! I kinda think of it as a Swiss Army Knife. Lots of little functions, and possibly a compromise as a result. Could it have a better GPS, Wifi, etc? Yes, but I bet that would effect battery life. Better multimedia support? Personally, I haven't had an issue with it, but out of the box an iPhone is tied to iTunes (does it have the issues with MP3's and WMA files that iPods have / had?). I like being able to sync my Kaiser with Windows Media player, or just pop my memory card into my laptop and copy over an MP3 manually.
Can I play with my phone, and just factory reset if it needs to go in for repair? Yes. Could I do that with the iPhone? Well, wasn't there that little issue with iPhones getting bricked when applying an official Apple upgrade on certain networks if you had 3rd party apps installed and voiding the warrenty?
You do need to play a bit with a Kaiser to get the most out of it, but this is a wonderful community and resource for doing just that. What are your issues with Internet and email? Have you tried the Opera browser to get around the internet issues? Personally, for sending / receiving email with and without attachments I have no issues. Maybe this is because I am a techno geek and have used PDA's for years. I'm sure that once you get your Kaiser setup the way you need, you'll be perfectly happy. I know that this has been the best 'out of the box' device I have had and any geek stuff I have done is just personal preference, I could have lived without it and not compromised the end result.
who called me techno geek!!?? x3!!
yup the kaiser is more like a swiss army knife x)!
with a world of possibilities!!..
just think a little .. microsoft has more time on the mobile market than apple x)

yeah, the Swiss Army Knife analogy is a good one. The scissors and screwdrivers never seem to work well, but the knife is a good bit of kit overall.
I really do want to love my Kaiser and am making some progress with it. I can now receive the emails (i.e. those of my main pc email account) but still can't manage to send them. I keep getting the following error message from the server: '550 Administrative prohibition - relaying not allowed'. No idea what it means. I think I may have the outgoing mail server wrong somehow.
Incidentally, if I click on streamimg media and see the rtsp:// what do I do next in order to get, say a BBC broadcast?
well i constantly sign on aim and u cant do that on iPhone...among other things.
It has it's faults, we all know, but what phone with all these functions doesn't?? OH, thinking about it...no other phone has all these functions in this small footprint!!!
JUst a simple comment...I LOVE IT!!!
Sold two laptops as a result of using this phone and made a profit!!!
Can't beat that...

Yes the first one will do for most people and is easier to use, but for anyone who needs the functionality the scientific is the only option
i really do love my kaiser x)...
i had an iphone but.. i gave it to my sis..
its easy to use.. but.. i got bored with the same things allways!!
(youtube, phone, phone, youtube, music, etc)
now.. on my kaiser i have a C# compiler, it is more interesting for mee!
and a lot of games but.. (yup the drivers suck)

That means you are sending via one server but as if from another.
Change your outgoing server to the correct one and use authentification.
To see streaming media, go to the relevant site and click the relevant link
The tilt is meant for geeks. That's true.
I had an 8525. I've never been so impressed and so happy with a phone. I could do literally everything i wanted. Then the iPhone cam out. I love macs, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I was bought by the intuitive browser and phone capabilities.
However, within the 6 months I had it, I felt the iPhone was directing me moreso than I directed the iPhone. I had to type a certain way for the keyboard (which was the weakpt) and had to deal with slow EDGE connections. Also, besides the cutesy programs like the program where you can take a pic and then put pirate hats on them (o wow.), there wasn't really much to offer.
I recently got a Tilt, now I'm wondering - why did I even stray in the first place?

That is the best analogy right there.
And FWIW, I see no reason to ***** and moan about something NOT being "perfect" None of them are so for the sake of your own health and sanity lower your expectations a bit or you will find yourself constantly dissapointed.
The Kaiser/Tilt is a damn good device that is capable of a whole lot. Which makes it appeal to a very broad base of users Nuff said. You want perfect? Then either customize your Kaiser to fit YOUR needs (and be happy you actually have that option... <cough> iPhone </cough> )
Or design, build/manufacture your own.

Yep that would be the case! My ISP is plus.net in the UK for internet and email, my mobile phone provider is o2. Now on my laptop, to send email I use the server relay.plus.net. If I use the same one on the Kaiser (unless I'm on my home network connected via my wireless router) I get that error message. Changing the outgoing to server to smtp.o2.co.uk allows me to send email from the Kaiser when I'm out and about. The incoming mail server never changes. So what you need to do is find out what the outgoing mail server is for your mobile p-rovider, enter that in your settings and you should be good to go!
Liked your extra analogy to the swiss knife thingy, it may not be perfect, but what else has all the features that kinda do the job?
I confess
Yep - geek and proud - reckon the Kaiser is the best thing since sliced bread. Many moons ago the non-geeky devices were known amongst my fellow techies as "tarts' systems" politically incorrect expression now but I've been too long in the business to drop it and I've yet to find a more apt repost to people who denounce those of us with a healthy appreciation of technology as geeks!

I have an appreciation of technology, but I don't think its good for my health! I am one of those unfortunate persons who love gadgets, but often does not know how to get them to work! At the moment i feel like a failed wannabee geek. I spent hours yesterday trying to get my pc email to synch with my kaiser, without success (the t- mobile wizard didn't work for me!). I still can't get streaming video to work either. I too hope to get to the point where I can say that the kaiser is the best thing since sliced bread

Exchange 2007 pushmail accounts

Hello all, I really debated on where to post this..I havent been too active for awhile on the forums, been busy, but I imagine I'll be snagging a Kaiser sometime coming up, so I suppose I'll stick it here.
I am offering Exchange 2007 pushmail accounts, with Outlook Web Access, and alias's, you can find more details, and pricing at http://gfyinc.org
My value plan monthly price is $4.00, or $44.00 for a year, but if you have donated to XDA Developers(as in star by your name) I will provide you with details to sign up for $3.00 a month, or $32.00 a year, or a $1.00 off any of the larger plans listed.
I am in no way trying to affiliate myself with XDA by offering the discount, and Im not setting a very good example by not having donated yet, I just know I or a lot of us wouldnt be here without this place, and want to encourage donations, I would rather you donate here, and receive the dollar a month discount.
Less than you pay for a cheeseburger and fires, and you get a whole month of instant html email sweetness.
P.M. me for details. sorry to kinda spam you, and thank you.

If you're after a completely free exchange account try here: http://live.mail2web.com/
I've used them for push mail for years and I've had no problems at all.

Like its says in my FAQ, if youre less that 15 days into the 30 day billing period, and unsatisfied, I will return your payment.
I do still have a couple upgrades I would like to put in place within the next month, but I really hate to spend too much more, when Im not really seeing that much interest from the get go, but if you want a month for free to check it out, let me know, I would appreciate any business.

Thanks for your input, after dumping a few grand into building redundant servers, and taking the time to set it all up, not to mention the stress, I really like to have some really nice person chime in and tell me and others its free elsewhere, its hard enough being the small guy and trying to compete in a world of giants.

Rather than complaining surely the best response would of been why your service is better than mail2web's? For example...
$4 a month gets you a mail alias. At M2W it's $4.95 a month.
Does your service included access using Outlook on a PC?
What about Spam filtering?
What about Anti Virus?

Can Apple's MobileMe work with Pocket PC?

It works with PCs so I, with no programming knowledge whatsoever, believe there has to be a way to get it to work with our Kaisers.
Is it possible?
most likely it will not be possible.
Why would you want it anyway? There are free exchange services out there that essentially do the same thing.
i like working with large, reputable companies when it comes to my personal data. but i'll look into these free exchange services.

Mobile Me for our Kaiser (possilby)
I just finished chatting with an apple rep. I told her that I use a windows mobile pocket pc while my wife uses the I phone...can we both use the features of mobile me on our devices. The reply was Yes.
Of couse as Shogun has stated it will cost. $149.00 for a family service or $99.00 for an individual license.
apple is billing this service as "exchange for the rest of us" so i would imagine that is EXACTLY what they are using, is microsoft exchange, but they are hiding some of the settings from the users so it appears to be some magical new technology that apple "developed"
if we can get a hold of the settings, i would imagine that punching them into activesync would work just fine. besides, how else do we get it to work with outlook on our pc's? SETTINGS! so i'm sure we'll find a way to make it work.
please laugh with me...

Skype Sucks

I relize just today, without warning, no email, nothing at allo from skype, that i can't buy itailan skype in on line number.
Microsoft Really Sucks, i will put out my ass from them asap.
Business is not possible anymore.
Just a suggestion: if u use a skype manager for your business...delete it, change platform, microsoft will riun everithink whitin only a year
Regards
Did it work before the company was bought by Microsoft?
I love the hacked version with video call
Everything is region locked with MS. You can't use Mexican XBox live point cards in the US either. PBX + SIP + Google Voice is awesome though.
Well, Viber is great for Android or iOS
skype has sucked for a long time. i think they have an issue attracting good talent. their customer service is nonexistent. just look at their official android forum - it's filled with people complaining about the crappy app.
now its gonna really suck with Microsoft owning it
Does the hacked skype work with Atrix 4G?
on win 7 ulti or android skype suckz.
Skype was the redheaded step child when I worked at eBay. Everyone hated them because we were forced to use their program and buying them out cost the company a lot of money. That said, I thought they got a lot better once they got out from eBay's management.

[Q] Dev unlock Lumia 520

I have searched everywhere to no avail. I tried registering through a student account at DreamSpark but it doesn't have my school registered. I need to develop apps for this phone but I can't afford the $99 payment for unlocking the set. I can't do anything and its frustrating. Is there no other way to unlock Wp8? I need to make money by app development. Is there any way to get a code to access DreamSpark or any unofficial way which might void my warranty but allows me to develop apps? I need your aid.:crying:

Unfortunately, if you can't register through DreamSpark, you'll have to pay the $99. I would go onto the DreamSpark page and contact them and ask about potentially getting you an account even though your school isn't listed as one. I'd probably contact your school also just in case. See if Microsoft and your school can work together and make this possible. Other than that, I don't know of any way you could get a dev unlock besides paying the $99.
Dreamspark
Hey,
I had the same problem, tried to sign up and gave me the error that it could not find my school, not even with the email.
However, if you have access to the msdnaa site(microsoft software) then you definitely have a dreamspark acct and have the same problem I had.
2 solutions:
1. If you have a ISIC card(international student card, which every student should have), Great! signup with that and voila, done.
2. fidle with the school's name until you find the correct one, mine had 3 different ones, only one of them had my acct.
Good Luck,

Hi,
I have a question irrelevant to the thread. I was using Android and the IM and chat applications used to run smooth in background thereby letting me stay online. Now, I use Lumia 520, I can't do the same. I wonder, is it impossible to develop such apps like Nimbuzz & Ebuuddy, to run in background and let peop;e receive instant notification ?
Push notifications only. They're close to instant, but not perfect; there may be a delay of some seconds or even a few minutes. Apps such as IM+ use this to implement something that is close, but not quite exactly, what you're asking for.
Background apps are a major battery life problem, so Microsoft has prohibited then except in specific scenarios (the only one that's close to what you describe is the BackgroundAudioStreamingAgent, used to allow something like the Pandora app to keep streaming music while you do other things). While it's probably possible to abuse that agent to do an always-connected IM app just fine, I doubt Microsoft would allow it into the store. The battery life of WP8 is one of its selling points; with near-identical hardware, WP8 can get 1.5x to 3x the battery life of Android, from the examples that I've seen.
To the OP, if your school doesn't offer .edu emails or verification, you can send the Dreamspark team an email with proof that you are a student (here in germany, we have a "Schülerausweis", Google Translate student ID card) and they'll verify you, at least they did or me.
