Ok
I will:-
Things
that are new on the 3850:-
1)
voice recognition (Not very good, it
will
not work on mine about 5% accurate)
2)
Case much better, a hinge affair with a
hard plastic front to protect the screen
3)
Fits the old backs and all work
fine
4)
The docking connector is DIFFERENT
!!! it will not work with the Targus
keyboard !!!
5)
Faster
6)
Active sync will work with
subfolders
This
is part of the PocketPC 2002 os
upgrade which should start shipping before year end (according to Compaq
support)
7)
Just been reading a 650 paged PDF !
8)
MSN messenger built in (Not used
it)
I’ve
tried a third party shareware client over a wireless lan, and to be honest prefer my vaio
sub-notebook (with built in camera, mic and
Windows XP)
9)
TS client built
in
Again,
part of the upgrade
10)
Beams contacts to phones and back
again
Part
of the upgrade!
11)
As said before the transcriber is out
of
this world, you can write any ware on the screen in upper/lower or joined
up
script you can write loads without stopping even over text you have already
put
down when you pause it converts the accuracy I would say is in the region
of
95% ! you can still use the keyboard,
Block recognizer and the
letter recognizer but really with transcriber its not
necessary.
I’ve
been using transcriber (it was a download from the MS site) since I first
got
my iPAQ in August 2000. I actually prefer the
block recognizer,
but that could be because my handwriting is really untidy and it
struggles!
12)
Cut and paste much
better
