Hi Steve, So this 9510 won't be pen based like pictures show on the website? Do you know anymore details? T He other thing to considder is syncronisation remotely - i.e, will it be possible in the later comunicator? Pocket PC devices can now do this with Exchange servers using Remote Activesync, and I can say from experience here that it works very well - syncing both email and the calendar in a sensible fashion, very similar to the Blackberry. Thanks, Andrew. > -----Original Message----- > From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx=20 > [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Nutt > Sent: 05 July 2004 16:01 > To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [access-uk] Re: Blackberry Equivalent >=20 > Hi Sam, >=20 > The trouble with the Communicator for this purpose, is that it has no=20 > wireless access, except for Infrared, and it does not have=20 > any Bluetooth or=20 > anything like that.
