Can't have my phone at work so I have not been able to check it out yet.

Download Opera Mini 5 via the market place. Doesn't seem to be as fast as the winmo native version, but is considerably better than the android opera 4 version.

That being said it crashed when I tried to post a comment here.

TIA

You will need some 3rd party support to sync your exchange calendar. One option I have used in the past is syncmycal (there is both a free version and a paid version.) This will allow you to sync your exchange calendar to google calendar.

Since this is not windows what is the equivalent to ICS? I really need this to be able to use this as my main OS. Is there an wmwifirouter or a htc wifirouter equivalent, as seeing that many android devices are htc.

pdanet would be the ics comparable, but won't work as we don't have usb control yet

there is a project for wifi tethering which was linked to a dozen pages back or so (quick search should find it)

Thanks, but I am unable to locate the thread you have mentioned. I searched for tethering, ics, wifi, but no luck.

Here is the PDAnet.

edit:
This may not be stealth so its likely your provider may be able to see you tethering and charge you. Also, since the battery life on android is HORRIBLE tethering probably isnt the best way to go right now. If I were you Id tether with WM when I need to.

I also found this on life hackers for android tethering:
http://lifehacker.com/5447347/how-to...-android-phone

they list 3 methods:
Method 1: Tether Android with Apps that Need Root (Free, heavy configuration)

Method 2: Tether Android with Proxoid (Free, no root required, some configuration)

Method 3: Tether Android with PDAnet ($30, no root required, minimal configuration)


Don't know if they will work for our build, but will try.

Didn't check the link, but we are already "rooted" so the first method may be easier than lifehacker implies
