Jon references these tactile feel programs for touch screens. I did a google for these programs and all I got was scientific info on the emerging software.

Can someone direct me to a 3rd party vendor who I can purchase this spftware for the TynTn.

It is just a simple registry tweak, so you could do it yourself with a registry editor. Modaco has a mobidial.com, although I'm not sure how well it works with the newest generation of devices.

From the Mobidial site: "Due to incompatibility issues with the recent releases of Windows Mobile, mobiDial is not currently available for download."

Try the registry tweak.

Jon,

You referenced the hw6915 in your review (which is my current device) so you are no doubt familiar with the significant lag when dialing and hanging up on a caller. How does the Kaiser perform in this area, especially compared with the iPaq?

Also, how would you rate it overall compared to the 6915? What are, in your opinion, the pros of the iPaq? I'm *this* close to buying the Kaiser but I want to be certain that it will be a noticeable and worthwhile upgrade.

Thanks

The Kaiser does significantly better in the hangup / dialing department over the 6915 (Although I suspect that a ROM upgrade would do the Kaiser wonders - sometimes it does hang waiting on phone operations). Overall I think the Kaiser is a much more polished product that the 6915. I still use my 6915 on occasion, however the keyboard on it (While functional) isn't half as nice as my Treo's or the Kaisers. WM 6 is probably the single biggest reason to upgrade, especially if you sync to an exchange 2007 server. Other than WM 6 and the keyboard upgrades, if the square screen on the iPAQ is getting you down, returning to landscape is a nice thing when going to a Kaiser.

So if I just had my 6915, would I upgrade to a kaiser? Probably, for the following:

1. More responsive / faster processor
2. Larger Screen / Keyboard
3. Historically better support than HP
4. Mini-USB connector (Ditch iPAQ connector cables!)
5. MUCH better camera.

However, don't look for any of the following:

1. Bluetooth / Wifi / GPS faster, better, stronger, etc.. - they compared about on par
2. Any new KILLER features in WM 6. Sure the improvements with Exchange 2007 are nice, but if I weren't on that platform, I'd be just as happy with WM 5.

Thanks Jon, I appreciate the detailed answer. I'm much obliged

Expansys/Mobile Planet has this for $809.

If you're not above getting an unlocked AT&T version (aka "Tilt") eBay has some good deals:
