Yeah, I'd noticed that. The old iPaq I had years ago did everything I
needed so I don't mind a chore to get it all set up if it turns out to
be any good..

Thanks for that, and the link to your post - I missed it on my googling.
I'll give a 6680 a shot tomorrow and see how it goes. Are there good 3rd
party software alternatives to use if I don't like the built-in diary? I
used Pocket Informant on Windows PocketPC and DateBk on Palm after
growling at the supplied apps ;)

Fun to try 3G stuff too...

Weekly view is fine - I want something that will display everything
without having to go into individual days. I use 5 different iCal
calenders, so if it could import each of them in a different colour my
life would be complete!

I'm on a 7 yr old one2one tariff Orange price-matched which fits my call
patterns so well you'd think they'd hired a spy! Moving to Voda would
probably cost me a bit more, but most of the other mobiles I call are
Voda and their reception's much better throughout the Highlands (which
is about 20 weeks of my year) so I'd give it a try. Ugly branding,
though - even from and Orange user ;)

Thanks for the reply
