Hy all,

This morning arrived my new ppc a beatyful 2210 from UK (I'm Italian) and after a little play time with the new device I noticed a problem.
I was going to try the cool feature of Dial over BT in the Contact list but when I try the tap&hold by pressing along the action button I see that doesn't work... it only open the contact just like the normal single pression.
Over messenger I discover that also 2 friends of mine with the same model of ppc has the same problem... :(
Does anibody has this same problem on this model of iPAQ or is the normal way of work of new joypad?
For now I set the Itask button for reply this function but is not the solution of the problem.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion or alternative :idea:

That appears to be normal, neither my 4155 or 2215 effect a tap and hold with a joypad press and hold. Just doesn't seem to work that way.

If I recall, my HP Jornada 568 advertised that the tap and hold was possible with the d-pad (I don't remember if I read it in the manual, in a review or where) but in reality, tap and hold did not work with the d-pad.

The new ROM update posted yesterday fixes this!! I am so excited, because I used the "tap and hold" all the time on my old Axim, and now the 2200 finally does it too!

Yesssssss.
Thanks a lot QYV for this info.
I wanna use the tap&hold with only one hand now for the dialing over Bluetooth (it's a great features for me, especially when you aren't in you office or when you don't have the phone number on the phone) and so much other way's of tapping&holding that I used with my old 3630.
Gonna do the update as soon as possible and post this over italian PocketPC NG :mrgreen:
