Just Ordered the 4700, What should i do in the mean time?

[Pistolero]

Hello Ladies gentleman, I just placed my order for the 4700 :D.

I have a few questions for the expiranced users:
1. Must have items?

2. Must have software?

3. Cool things to do when she arrives?

4. Care and protection?


PS, i still have my 3635, and everytime i look at the dust behind the screen i still cry :(

Me too! Mine should be here Wednesday.

1. SCREEN PROTECTOR!!!!
2. Extended battery if you plan yo watch lots of movies.

3. Wisbar
4.Pocket breeze

Those are my top picks.

Well, you don't necessarily need it: http://discussion.brighthand.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=110455

If you try to manually hack all your programs that put shared DLL's in main memory, you can get by with 64M RAM too, even if you install tons of apps on your hx4700.

How much is this...im resetting my 4700 2x per day....

[riuster]

Ok
this is going to be included in next version of Tweaks2k2

Open the registry and look this key

HKCU\Software\Ilium Software\DockWare

Change the BitmapDir from \My Documents\My Pictures to any the path of your pictures in the SD card or CF Card, in this way you are saving RAM space while having more space to copy more pictures.

In my case, I changed to \SD Card\My Documents\My Pictures


Im confused on this one....where is the REGISTRY folder?

riuster,

The PPC Techs upgrade is $199.00. Not cheap, but I thought it was worth it.

The Pocket PC OS won't let you into the registry with the built in file manager. It's kind of like a safety barrier as you can do some serious damage if you screw up the registry. Thatsaid, there are a lot of pocket PC registry editors available for download-many of them free-and RESCO File Manager includes a registry editor.

There's no registry folder - the Windows registry has nothing to do with the file system (just like WinCE databases).

You'll need to get Resco Explorer ( http://www.resco-net.com/explorer_indepth.asp ) or, alternatively, the free PHM Regedit ( http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/ ) to edit the Registry.

If you're unsure about using these programs, feel free to ask.
