IM Plus for Smartphone also works well.. found it more reliable than Agile Messenger... I tried Agile and two way messaging wasnt working only sending was working... I'm going to re-install it
There is a "fit to screen" option you can turn off. That will give you the desktop layout if you don't mind the left/right scrolling. My issue is that the font is too small and there is no way to change it.

What are people using for 3rd party PIM apps? I use ACT on my PC and want to sync to the Q. It's well known that notes don't sync through Outlook (and I don't have 2003 anyway) so an outside solution seems appropriate.
I can't get Orneta notepad to display correctly. When i try to save a doc, I cannot get to the box to enter file name. Something is chopped off at bottom of screen and i can't scroll down there.
Anyone who's using CompanionLink successfully, tell me what I'm doing wrong! I'm sure I'm making some kind of simple stupid mistake, but I can't get the program loaded on my new Q. I am getting a message every time, "installation of ClxPPClink.cab was unsuccessful. The installation file is not intended for this device". I have tried selecting about 8 different devices in the setup for companionlink (build 2625), and haven't had any luck yet. "Motorola Q" is not one of the options...
I bought and installed MS Streets & trips 2006 today. It works but I can't get it to recognize my bluetooth GPS. When I try to "Start GPS" I just get an error saying that the "Microsoft Bluetooth Manager" can't be found! There is a bluetooth manager but S&T doesn't seem to recognize it. Looks like Verizon customized it too much. I did get the bluetooth GPS to work just fine with Mapopolis so I guess I'm going to be buying it.
I can't believe Microsoft's own package doesn't work properly on the Q. What's worse, they don't seem to know it yet and, of course, don't have any resolution available.
Are you using the latest version of Orneta Notepad for WM5? I haven't had that problem. One you navigate to the folder you want to save in, press the D-Pad center button and the focus should move to the file name aea. It's not the most intuitive thing, but it should work.
Just ditched my i730 for this yesterday. I loved the Samsung but couldn't handle the phone freezing as opposed to the times the whole thing freezes. So far I am LOVING the Q!
Anyway I'm using: Fizz weather 2.2
I can't get the satellite map to work. Only the current conditions map displays, and I wish that was at least the other way around. Also the Home screen plug in only works if you select it from settings but then you lose some of the other features of the other home screens. So that creates a tough descision.
Smartphone Notes
This is great if you like to use text notes and it works with Outlook. I have not tried any of the advanced features; the above satisfies my needs.
Anybody find a good dictionary or a good Spanish-English Dictionary? I had used Wordbook before which is an awesome dictionay and LingvoSoft SPA-ENG dictionary, however as far as I've looked into it neither are compatible for a Smartphone.

On Fizz Weather 2.2 I fixed the map switch by pressing the "*" key thanks to their Tech Support.
Also I am using: Wordbook which is a great dictionay that is practically a cultural dictionary as well.
SlovoEd Spanish-English Dictionary is working great. I got them both from www.smartphone.net which seemed to have a lot more apps for the Q then Handango.
