Thanks for the tips, I got a Scandisk (now I know why the HP612c was NOT listed in the ref files when I bought it at Comex). Trancend is diff to get here and A-Data is not heard off.

One thing I must say for the 612C is that it is a PAIN to remove the data card

1&2 Two possible reasons for the misbehavior of your 8GB SDHC card come to mind:
First - your card is of a brand that is not approved by HP and is really incompatible with the hardware of 612c. One such brand is Kingston, some negative reports about SunDisk had been received too. Stick to Transcend and A-Data to avoid any trouble.
The other possible reason may be that your card had been formatted in NOKIA smartphone or a card-reader that does not support the true FAT32 data structure that is required by the HP firmware. The solution here is obvious - install any proven SD-card formatting utility on your iPAQ and try to format the faulty card. I would suggest Resco File Explorer or SKTools.

As for the backup utility - such utility is not included natively in the HP devices since WM5. At the same time there is no problem to install and use some 3rd party software, which will be a far more flexible and reliable solution. I can suggest here SPB Backup and again SKTools as some very good backup solutions.

A couple of things with my new phone:

I went with a 4GB Micro SD instead of 8GB, but my phone does this strange things:

1 it dose not recognise that there is a card intalled.

2 when it does recognise that there is a card install, it shows that the capacity is FULL - maxed out!!

Also my WinMobile2003 has a ipaq backup programme, but i can find it on the 612c. Anyone knows?

I use rogers, skype won't find the data network connection, only can use WiFi.
After I created a modem entry, name it RogerInternet (what so ever), and add neccesary info in this entry, also make it the default network connection for the "Internet", then it connect to the "rogersInternt" now and work perfectly
With 6GB data plan ($30 per month), now I am on Skype all the time, won't worry the phone bill. (My Skype have a Dial-in number)
hope this can help someone!!!

What is more - there are numerous 3rd party applications that offer even more sofisticated onscreen keyboards like VGAKey, Resco Keyboard, SBP Fullscreem Keyboard, etc. etc. and some of them are even freeware!

Hi Guys,
Anyone knows if this phone has a virtual QWERTY in addition to the numeric keyboard? I would find it useful for emails&messages writing. Thanks!

Two weeks before I bought HP IPAQ 910c. First week I suffered alot.But today I solved alot of things.
Four items are important for me.

First one is my contact lıstin outlook, which is covering 260 files.No problem for Windows mobile 6.0

Second item is unread sub mails have to be bolt. No problem for Windows mobile 6.0I cheched all symbian version, I couldnt find a solution.

Thirth item My address book covers 8000 pcs addressses. Also no problem. My address book covers several different books. No problem.

Fourth item is telefon call operation. I can dial the phone with one hand easily.

ı can advise HP 910c to all businessman. no compatible one exists in the market today. This is my opinion.

> In reply to spencer @ 2008-08-24 17:35 from 2Fyr - click to read@spencer: I believe that both times you have dowloaded a .CAB file but was not able to recongnize it due to two simple reasons - in your computer the .CAB files are associated with the WinRAR software (which is OK) and also when you open your File Manager, in the Tools > Folder Options menu > View tab the checkbox for the []hide extensions for known file types is checked. Please UNcheck it and then again have a look at the file you have extracted from the .ZIP archive you have downloaded from the developer's site - it's FULL name will be SpoonAlarm.CAB and not SpoonAlarm.RAR. At this point simply copy the .CAB found to your PDA's storage memory or SD-card and continue with the installation as per developer's instructions.
