Big~
Looks like it's off to a good start here. I know it will be useful for me, and I'm sure many others.
Tonight, I'm trying to figure out how to "push" ( i assume that means forward) my sbcglobal mail to my phone. Probably take me forever on this task!

Kc

Why don't you keep editing the first post so they are all compiled in one easy to read list. This is much easier than reading through a long thread.

VC-Voice Command
OEM-A folder with the necessary files to install an app into a kitchen rom

What is CAB, as install? Maybe we need a newbie forum, to post dumb questions.

Htc Pim Xip

Cab - (in this context) the extension for a "cabinet" file - it's a package containing multiple files and folders, usually for programs to self-install on the PPC. (If you use active sync to install programs on the ppc, look in the \program files\Microsoft Activesync\ - usually you find cabs there. You can copy them to your storage card once, then double-tap them on the device to quickly install the software without an activesync connection.)
Compare to
OEM - like what Colonel said above - most hackers make an OEM starting from a cab file.
RAR - a file-compaction format that is preferred for very large archives - often used for uploading roms.

HTC - High Tech Computer, the Taiwanese phone manufacturer - they make the most WM (Windows Mobile) phones in the world, but until recently they were all distributed through others. e.g. UTStar.com is another Asian company that plays an intermediate distribution role between HTC and verizon/sprint for our HTC Apaches; that's where we send our phones for support/repair. HTC directly supports the Mogul/Titan, however.

PIM - Personal Information Manager. This is the database for your contacts, tasks, appointments, and (sometimes) email. The native PIM on our phone is sometimes called Pocket Outlook, and there are some third party PIM programs that augment or replace Pocket Outlook's functionality.

XIP - Execute in Place - it's a storage and programming approach that allows some programs to run directly from storage rather than being loaded into the program memory first. Saves on RAM. Nobody but the true development gurus (which I'm not) really care about how to use it.

Did we get these already?

ACCOLC - Access Overload Class - This code determines your priority to make and receive calls on the network.

SCI - Slot Cycle Index - - This determines how often a handset polls the network for coverage and incoming packets. The default value "Slot" is 1.28 seconds and doubles with each incremental change from 0 to 7.

MIN - Mobile Identification Number - Unique 10 digit number used to identify the mobile subscriber (User Phone Number).
MSID- Mobile Subscriber Identification Number

ESN - Electronic Serial Number - Unique number embedded into the hardware engine to identify the hardware.

MSL - Master Subsidary Lock - Your Carrier Locked Handset unlock code .

NAM - Numeric Assignment Module - Traditional Analog, FDMA/TDMA/CDMA handset

provisioning (programming) location. MIN, ESN, NID, SID, PRL, PRI as well as various data settings are all coded within the NAM.

SID - System ID

NID - Network ID

PRL - Preferred Roaming List

PRI - Primary Rate interface

AKU x.x
RUU

AKU - Adaption Kit Upgrade?
RUU - Rom Update Utility

AKUs are for Windows Mobile kinda like service packs are for Windows XP. They include bug fixes, patches, and functional improvements. Big difference is you can't download them directly from Microsoft - because the hardware and software are so closely coupled, MS releases the AKUs to the phone manufacturers who then decide whether to incorporate them into phone firmware updates. More often then not they don't. http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/art...m-aku-en.shtml
