Hi guys,

I'm new the the smartphone OS but have had an Ipaq 3800 PDa before, with the Ipaq if the battery ran out completely and you did not plug it on or charge it you would lose any data in the flash ram, so next time you powered on it would be like you first powered on and you have nothing left.

Now my question is does smartphone 2003 have protection from this? Ie solid state memory not battery backed memory so if our phones run out completely and it's not charged say for 24 hours we won't lose anything on there?

Cheers guys.

You are entirely correct - the smartphone battery can go completely flat and you won'ty lose a thing.

More than any other reason, this is why i am very happy with my E200 and would never ever go back to an iPAQ.
