For some reason that I don't understand my i600 did a hard reset all by its self yesterday. As a result I've been busy wasting time by restoring programs and settings. I find it interesting to see how I'm prioritizing what software goes back first (or at all).
1. E-wallet
2. Smartphone Notes
3. Fitz Traveller
4. Connected bits weather
4. Papyrus calendar
That may be enough. Smartphone "lite".

Then maybe or maybe not:
1. Mapopolis - maps on the phone are difficult
2. Repligo - useful information source but Smartphone Notes is better for quick reference and I was always forgetting where I'd put my info.
3. Smartycalc - only full featured calculator but I have to hurt my brain every time I use it.
4. Power Calendar/Power Tasks - Papyrus is better.
5. Columbia Encyclopedia - Hardly used it after the first week although I won a beer with it.
Not:
1. CV document - Repligo suited me better but I really rarely look at long documents anyway so Notes is better.
2. A bunch of stuff I'd forgotten was on the phone.

This sure reminds me how much I dislike entering data via the keyboard. Passwords and registration codes are a pain since T9 doesn't help. I sure hope the phone doesn’t make a habit of this.

8O Eek! That sucks. Was the battery too low? or prehaps it was dropped? Not that either of those things should cause a reset. :?

1. E-wallet
2. Smartphone Notes
3. Fitz Traveller
4. Connected bits weather
4. Papyrus calendar

Excellent list of apps. I haven't used a couple of them, but I've only ever heard good things about them.

I hate entering registration info on the phone. Most applications use a combination of letters and numbers whiich is a real pain to try and enter. It would be nice to see developers spend a little more time making it easier to handle the registration of your programs.

Before upgrading my i600 to 2003 I had a couple of semi-hard resets. I couldn't figure out what caused them so just chaulked them up to a flakey and random problem with the OS and hardwre combo.

With 2003 I've had no problems, though it's by no means as stable as I'd like.

I cannot think of anything that really caused this hard reset. Maybe some hard riding, but...?

I cannot seem to get the RJtime homepage to come back. Anyone using this remember how?

It sure is a pain. :-(

Wish the installers would capture that information on the PC and pass it on to the CAB file.

One of the most useful, must have apps, Sprite Backup. I have had my share of resets or phone not booting up. Sprite Backup has saved me many hours.

Though the pain in re-installing the apps will pay off; you will have a better/cleaner/healthier Smartphone. ;-)

Are you installing it with just the .cab file? You'll need the entire .zip file that has the home page file in it.

That is a great plugin as are all of his plugins.
