I've been working on getting it to synchronize with Evolution, but since the device has really changed how I work I haven't made much progress on that. Ryan Pavlik has a really good guide on that. I believe there are also guides to sync to Schedule World and I think Google? The way I used to use it was make notes, schedule appts etc during the day and then sync them to do the "real" work on the pc. Now I use the Nokia to complete whatever I need to do. The built in backup utility does back up the GPE database, I have restored it several times after flashing a newer firmware. I use the todo app simply to list a todo. I have a separate file; named appropriately; using Leafpad to edit it that has all the details, dates, notes, etc. I use Claws for the email client to send or receive what I need on the spot. No more dealing with everything twice. It's taken a while but I am much happier > 2. Can I install open office or similar Doc reader on my n810. I use antiword coupled with docreader to read .doc files. There is a new version of Abiword out there right now. > 3.

Maybe even a Skype call or two. I used a Palm T|X for a while, I got tired of sending it back for a new one. Like I mentioned before, it's taken a while to get used to a different way to do things but I think it's gone rather well. Sorry about Skype, I'd rather use Gizmo. Look on the ITT website for all sorts of goodies, try the wiki. Good Luck, -- Peter Bart <peter at petertheplumber.net> http://petertheplumber.net
