View Full Version : PDA's
In the market for a new PDA and just weighing up the pro's and con's of the nokia 9500 and the xda 11i.
The problem I have with the 9500 is it cannot access web sites with secondary login pages. Does anyone know if the xda11i can? Is the microsoft browser better than the sybian?

Anyone with any comments, I would be very greatfull!!
My Sony Ericsson P910i is good for me.
I can sync it with outlook, pick up emails from as amny accounts as I choose. I can open excel & word files as well as PDFS. Oh and I can make phone calls!
works well for me, but guess evryone is different

As I have just ordered a 9500 i'd can you explaine what you mean by,
"The problem I have with the 9500 is it cannot access web sites with secondary login pages"
It is probably blindingly obvious, but it's a bit late for my brian to be functioning fully.
Have you tried an alternative broswer? I find Opera on my p900 better than the built in browser.

On Windows based mobile devices (PDA/Smartphones etc.), an alternative browser is NetFront (post back if you can't find it on google) . Think its commercial, but there was a demo last time I looked.
It handles some sites a lot better, and allows Java Virtual Machine to be used.
To bring this answer back on topic, with Pocket Internet Explorer, I am unable to sign into Excite's web mail facility, with NetFront, I am....

I've got a XDAII, superb.
And if you link it to a bluetooth GPS receiver (about £90) you have a full moving map GPS that uses the real CAA charts.

I also download the latest 214 & 215 from the met office on it while at the airfield.
