Just a quick hello from an Axim. There has been one sitting in the drawer for many months and no one at work remembers why we ordered it. So I said to hell with it and fired it up. It will be interesting to play with. Very easy to set up.

oooh. you should load Opera Mini on it. go to www.operamini.com to get it. but you need to get a java midlet for it first. Emertec is the one i use go here

hmmm OK I want to try but I have to pick a phone version? The Axim is not a phone so what do I pick?
David
click the link that says Generic Version..
Got it! I had to snag two dll's also, Phone.dll and Sims.dll. It is very cool but a bit slow loading. Posting from it now.
David
i have found it to be very quick. i dont use it in Mobile view. Cool that you got it to work by finding those DLLs... :)
Yup. I turned off all the appearance settings and it hopped to much better. Thanks for the heads-up on the browser. This is actually very cool indeed.
David
Ok, this unit is getting to be a cool tool. I went to this page to get the info on the two dll's I needed.

I spent a good part of last night surfing the web with Opera Mini. It is in fact very responsive (after I disabled some of the "appearance settings) and reading is very easy. I also loaded ereader last night so I can read my digital books from ereader.com. Currently reading Bill Clinton's "My Life". There are a ton of things I still need to learn and explore. Lots of info at the site listed above.
David
that thing is running wm5 right?
Yup. I am running A06 for ROM. I tried to get A12 on it but it would not load. I still need to play with that. I loaded the gmail applet while I was helping upgrade the hospital network tonight. It worked swift with java thing you hooked me up with.
David
Very cool.
I guess the Opera Mini browser for the Pocket PC is better than the one they put together for the DS. WAY SLOW on the DS - always, but at least I can hit Taco Bell and look at the BBC Semi-Text-Only (http://news.bbc.co.uk/text_only.htm) - the best small site for in depth news that I have found (so far).
@Weave I am sure it is a lot faster. I also have loaded Opera Mobile 8.6.5 and Mini kicks her out of the water BUT it is faster then PIE and works a whole lot better. It even has tabs. That one is not free though ;)
Sadly, I still have to revert back to PIE sometimes. Mainly for watching Youtube vides :(
Pulled out the Axim the other day. We just got our Exchange server up and running so I wanted to see if I could synch with Windows Mobile. No go so I started to look for Moble 6.1 versions. Started with LennyAO7 but the wireless was way flakey. Then tried FootballAO7 and so far it is flawless. Took a bit to find the esmertec jbed again as most servers have backed out of offering (thank god for the russians though).
Anyhow, I'm posting with Opera Mini.
David
i used to love Opera Mini, but with the new phone I just use Opera 9.5. More on new phone later :)
