Can I ask what you thought of the 9300? We are about to roll these out
to our roaming staff that want e-mail, calendar, contacts on the go
(Using Intellisync Enterprise as the push engine).

Cheers

Only on-topic if  HA covers PC <-> mobile-phone interaction :)

A friend had a Nokia 9100 - the old brick-like communicator. Well, after
capsizing his boat with it in his pocket it stopped working!

So he got a Nokia 9300 from the insurance payout.

But... he only runs windows 98 (his little old lady accountant of X
decades makes all her clients run the same OS) and it won't work with
'98.

No original windows disks (pre-installed probably) so he's looking at
=A3150 as the retail cost of XP - nice!


So what's the cheapest way to get a legit copy?
I've seen 'OEM' versions providing you buy some hardware - any other
ideas?

David
