finish?, I have so much S**T in my life already that I haven't had time to get into it, but soon. I actually own the domain http://www.yorch.net also, If you have any ideas and are willing to help, maybe we can do some project together for the Xda

Where Did I get Red Dragon?, Got it @ Kazaa. And I used SnapStream PVS (which is a wonderful program, downloaded in Kazaa too ) to transform it to Pocket PC format. The original file is Divx format and is 300MB big, compressed size and format (the program has an automated setting for PocketPC) makes a good 170MB WMV format movie

Sprint, how much you paid for your 128MB??

If you need more help, let me know

GSM/ATT?

Yorch:
Any idea if this phone will work on ATT's GSM network? I have been considering ATT since they are offering a $99 all you can eat plan (voice, for roaming and LD). As far as I know there are no cool phones for ATT. I have had them before and their coverage sucked here in Atlanta. I hope it is better now. I am also considering Verizon, but you review has me interested. Thanks for all the good info.

yeap, it will work, actually, AT&T just came out with the exact same model, but they rebranded it Siemens SX56, is the exact same phone, they same features, is just rebranded under Siemens, check here for more information.

The cool thing about this, the more carriers having this phone the more popular they become and the more cheaper the accesories they become. so now this phone is Xda, Mda, HTC Pocket PC, T-Mobile Pocket Pc phone edition, and now At&t Siemens SX56. Jezz, is the phone with more personalities that I know of:p

Thanks, I will have to check this out. Maybe a visit to both the Verizon and the AT&T store this weekend is in my future.

Sprint.... did see that Sprint was going to offer $99/all you can eat for voice or for data? One of the guys I work with stopped into a Sprint store (in Omaha.... he was on the road) and the manager told him Sprint had a vision data only plan for $99 all you can eat. We have been unable to verify this plan exists on Sprint's website. Anyone know?

Thank you for the review. I have been wanting to get that phone because it runs pocket PC and Tmobile offers 3000 anytime minutes for $50 a month. But I was discouraged from getting it because of the buttons located above the screen makes gaming more difficult (most important use for a phone). Has that been a problem with any of the games you have tried?

MSN messenger?

Quick question Yorch and Sprint.

How does MSN messenger work on the PPC phone? If you sign in and then go to make a phone call, do you stay signed in? If you are in a phone call, or browsing the Web and someone wants to chat with you on MSN, do you get any indication?

Thanks

To be honest with you I haven't use it yet, I don't really use Instant messengers that much, but I'll try it and let you know

Samster, for most of the games that I used, (see post above), I haven't had much problems that cannot be resolved. the only one game that has "some" problems is Tomb Raider, you cannot save the game, because the save button is one of the one missing, and you can't remap. Most games allow you to remap buttons wich makes it easy, some even allows you to use the call and hang-up button. 90% of the Games that I had tried work perfect on the Xda, the only games that don't work in the Xda are:
  • Tomb Raider, The game works perfect, but you just cannot save the game and quit the game, the only way to quit the game is reset the machine. The save and quit button are the missing ones.
  • Racing Days. The game works perfect too, is just that is too big and If you put it in the SD card, is very buggy, is you load it to your internal memory is runs perfect, (this one is so far the best racing game for PPC)
  • Monster Truck Crushing. This one doesn't work at all, It shuts down when the game is loading. I actually haven't tried it in the internal memory, I only have tried it in the SD memory. I'll keep you post it.

so far those are the only games that I had tried that have some problems with the Xda, the rest of the games work perfect and are very much playable. the games that I had tried are:
  • Capcom Arcade Pack
  • Dove Hunting
  • HandMark Monopoly
  • Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
  • PocketGB Gameboy, Nintendo, SEGA, Gameboy Advance emulator
  • Pocket SNES. Super Nintendo Emulator
  • Siberian Strike X
  • Soccer Addict
  • Tennis Addict
  • Argentum (BAD ASS GAME!!!)
  • Babe Arcade
  • Gansta Race
  • Sim City 2000
  • Lemonade Inc.
  • Marble Madness
  • Motocross Stunt Racer
  • Turjah II
  • CEball
  • MetalStrike
  • Rayman Ultimate
  • Chopper Alley (you just can't use the Map)

If you have big fingers it may be a problem the little direction pad int the center, but most of the games are playable with the stylus.
