Hi All,
I need some decent add-ins for outlook mobile. The limitations of this program baffle me! Does anyone know where I could get some decent add-ins that would allow me to flag messages etc. or is there a different email manager you recommend?
Ta
Which OS are you using? WM5 or WM6? In WM6, Pocket Outlook does a lot more...
WM6 . . . but it doesnt seem to have` much added functionality?
I've been looking for how to flag my outlook emails and it says it's now supported in WM6 and I've even found sites with screenshots showing a 'Follow-up' option that when you select a email appears in the menu.
However I don't see it in my menu and the best reason I can come up with is that it requires the Exchange Server be running the 2007 version and I think my office is still running 2003.
Can anyone confirm, Exchange 2007 is a requirement to be able to see the Follow-up > Flag options appear in our menu?

Hi. Yes.. I'm using Exchange 2007 and you can flag messages in your inbox for follow up (but you can't set any reminders - only flag the message).
You can also view your e-mail in HTML format.

Since I upgraded to WM6 I am not using it anymore but FLEXMAIL 2007 might be able to help you out? Link: http://www.pocketinformant.com/products_info.php?p_id=mail&dir=wm
Ditto that for FlexMail 2007 - works great for me
Hi all,
I'm in the nice position of having managed to cancel my orange contract early for free ( T+C changes) and can now take out a spanking new contract.
The hero is top of the list as I can't be waiting for the X3 to emerge.
I currently have a Touch HD/Blackstone.
The HD can do all I want it to, I use it mainly for business, so the question is this:
Can the hero sync my outlook calender ok(it is linked to my google account as well)? Can it read adobe file ok? and Doc's? excel?
Does it recieve email ok?
Basically, can it do all I've mentioned ok?
Sorry so long winded.....
Ta
Yes to everything exept docs and excel (only because I have not needed to do them so just don't know rather than saying no)
Hi, Thanks,
Can anyone say if it will open excel or docs or does it need an app to do this.
Mods: Somehow my post has appeared twice? can the other one with no answers be delete.
Not tried it yet but the Hero comes with QuickOffice.
According to the manual...
Quickoffice lets you view Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel, and
Microsoft PowerPoint files on your phone. Quickoffice supports viewing of
Microsoft Office 00 Word (.doc), Excel (.xls), PowerPoint (.ppt) and text (.txt) files.

Possibly because to all intents and purposes windows mobile is dead, thats not to say someone may not pick up the torch and develop the type of app you are looking for, but the money is in android, blackberry, ios and wp7 right now
And its not like there are not similar apps for windows mobile, just not those titles, for instance IM+ and Glympse
hi,
i just developed one simple database app in RADPHP xe2, its a simple app which connects with mysql database on my webserver , and fetches one field and a list box is populated, it works fine on my browser, it even works perfect when i usb debug on my galaxy tab, it even works perfect when i deploy to apk via phonegap build, but when i edit my mysql database and then again run the app , it shows the old records and new records are not fetches, that means its showing me snapshot of my data, how to get live data via my app. Please guide.
Chako.
Same problem
I have the same problem can you send me an example with a small aplication using Mysql i can't put it in way
Thanks
Dardo

I've been googling this all day and I haven't found my answers. Does Windows Phone 7.5 Mango integrate tightly with Windows 7?
I'm currently using an iPhone 4 and I love how Apple tightly integrates iOS and Mac devices together.
Also can someone tell me if Mobile IE 9 have a way to force the desktop version of the site to load up? Mobile Safari can't do that and it's very annoying. Does Mobile IE 9 synchronize links and or passwords with IE 9 for the desktop or any other browsers?
I really want to move over to WP7.5 because I'm frustrated by the restrictiveness of iOS. I know Microsoft is also moving very fast to ensure that Windows Phone and Windows 8 will be extremely integrated with one another.
What kind of integration do you need?
WP7 uses Zune software to connect your desktop, it can autosync your photos, music, videos, install apps, Zune can give access to the internet to your phone while it connected via cable, also Zune can update firmware on phone. That all integration that I know.
IE9 has the ability to change view to desktop version. And it doesn't sync favs and passwords for me (maybe I don't know how to do that?).
I would say it doesn't integrate at all.
Everything goes through Zune. That is: the features Chipsaru described.
You can't even drag and drop files or sync documents and other files to it natively.
Not as a removable storage and not even through Zune.
You can however do some limited file transfers/syncs through Skydrive.
Syncing through Zune can be done via wireless connection as well. Change the settings in the Zune set up to Wireless Sync. Then plug your phone into power as if you were charging. Within 5-10 minutes it will sync.
And for file transfer there an app for that ! Try PC File Download from the MarketPlace.

Correct, still it doesn't integrate more because of those points.
Actually the app You suggest does require a server to work as i can understand...
There are workarounds and apps for most scenarios, but integration is close to zero for the moment.

Then Android is a much better choice for you. Lumia 800 (perhaps not Windows Phone, specifically) is as restrictive -- if not more so -- than iOS.
As for integration with a desktop OS, I think the trend is to move away from it. Over-the-air & cloud integration is the way to go.
Zune is crap, but it works. It is soon to be replaced...
Integration with Office is 100% and so is Facebook, Twitter etc.
Once you sign in with a Microsoft id all your contacts and calendars are synced 100% It's more, you don't have to connect to the pc even. You change or add something on your phone or pc and it is automatically synced - absolutely brilliant!!
Skydrive is good but has it's limits.
I recommend the Nokia Lumia 800 100% It's gonna be the best kit you have ever owned, please believe me.

Damn, that's pretty disappointing news. Any comment about Mobile IE9? How does it compare to Mobile Safari or even the new Chrome browser for Android?

Facebook Messenger isn't available for Windows Phone 7.5. The app is a bit like WhatsApp, but the advantage is that I can also add my location data to my messages. I don't think Facebook for WP7.5 can do that yet. Is it possible to add location data to the messages?

Facebook Messenger is not needed by Windows Phone 7.5 because Facebook Chat is built into the Messages app, and regular (offline) Facebook Messages can be accessed with the Facebook app.
If by adding location data to messages you mean geotagging status/timeline updates, I don't think that is yet possible natively by Windows phone 7.5, but you can use the built-in Check-in function to check in using Facebook Places.

If you've used IE9 on the desktop, its pretty comparable. While it may not be the best browser for everyone, IE9 is surprisingly good compared to previous versions (and while thats not saying much, its just a much better browser overall). Its fast, includes hardware acceleration for certain sites (hardware acceleration is also enabled for the mobile version of IE9). It is very identical to the desktop version of IE9, and it's pretty nice. No browser is perfect of course, but I haven't had any major issues with commonly used sites.

Just as an iPhone generally requires iTunes to do anything meaningful (Mac or PC), Windows Phone requires Zune (or if you are using a Mac, the Windows Phone Connector) in order to sync media back and forth. So they are largely the same in terms of how they connect to a computer. If by integration you mean among their own respective platforms, just as iOS has a host of services it hooks into (App Store, iBooks, iTunes, etc.), Windows Phone integrates very well with Microsoft services (Xbox Live, Zune, Windows Live, Office, SharePoint, Exchange, etc.). If you are living in an iOS world and can't give that up, then neither Windows Phone nor Android are probably good for you. Each platform caters to their own company's services, naturally. I do expect more OS-based integration coming with Windows 8 though, which will be really nice.
Mobile IE9 can force desktop version, you just have to go into the options and choose between Mobile or Desktop views.
iOS and Windows Phone are generally both very restrictive. There is a trade-off you are getting. iOS and Windows Phone are pretty stable and generally just works, and this is because of the restrictive nature of the operating system. If Apple and Microsoft control more of what goes on with the OS, there is less chance for things to go crazy. The opposite is for Android, you get almost complete freedom to do what you want, but with that, you introduce instability, possible malicious software through an unfiltered Market, and the oh-so-common force closes and poor performance. Microsoft is still slowly opening up Windows Phone, but its just as restrictive if not more (at least at the moment) than iOS. Customization is not a strong point for Windows Phone, but its the same as when iOS started out. As time goes on, more and more control will be given to both the end-user and developers to do great things with Windows Phone, but with Windows Phone still being rather young, you just aren't going to see that just yet.

Using that same logic, then I suppose FB Messenger isn't needed for iOS or Android because the original FB app have already have a messaging component inside the app.
The advantage of FB Messenger over the default FB app for both iOS and Android is that it can geotaq the messages. I will know where it was sent from. It sucks that WP7.5 cannot geotag the messages yet. That would be a nice feature to have.

Actually, using the same logic, you are correct, Facebook Messenger isn't needed anymore for iOS or Android because the official app can geotag status updates.
The only advantage it has over the official app is that it starts up a couple seconds faster and jumps directly to Messaging. Otherwise, its a rather redundant application.
As for it being on Windows Phone, I don't think we'll see much geotagging integration until its a more widely used feature of Facebook. As it stands, the majority of people who geotag their status updates do it because they don't know about it and/or don't turn it off. Facebook Places is a more widely used form of geotagging on Facebook, which is why that integration is there. I'm sure we'll see it someday.

You're wrong. I just loaded up the FB app for my iPhone 4 and there is no way to geotag the messages. The only way to do that is through FB Messenger.

Hmmm. I can geotag my status updates just fine on both my Android version of Facebook and the iOS version of Facebook.
Maybe you need to update?

I'm pretty sure I'm using the latest version of FB for iOS. Can you show a screenshot of it? It's very easy to do with iOS.
