Not sure if this answers your question, but I am dumping Blackberry in favor
of WM5 and Activesync. I use these devices in an enterprise environment and
don't like being chained to a BES. I will reduce the footprint in my
datacenter and give users a better information transmission device, as well
as reduce TCO and over all initial cash outlay for upper management. What's
not to like? Oh and I like WM5 better than BES 4.1 (what I am using now).
Plus with many smartphones you can turn them into more interactive PDA's
with minimal effort and an inexpensive download for editing excel and word
types of files.

I thought I was doing something wrong when I couldn't copy-paste on my BJ.
The head of programming for one of the nation's largest mobile software
companies told me it is not available in what we call Smartphone/Mobile 5.
If and when we get a Mobile 6 upgrade, it is rumored that feature will be
included as well as voice command.

I advise friends and clients, the Blackjack may be the baseline for an
intelligent cell phone user. IMHO the primary feature is the ease of
learning the Microsoft mobile OS if you have been using Windows.

Drop in a 1 or 2 gigabyte microSD card, download free Google Maps for Mobile
and Microsoft Live Search from http://www.handango.com then find a
compatible Bluetooth GPS unit.

Yesterday Cingular was selling refurb Blackjacks for $69. What a deal!

Thank you all. I found a VITO CopyPaste as my solution but have
difficulties installing it. The website provides exe file only but I
do not see cab file to download straight to the device. Anyway, I'll
research it further.

Please do follow my articles on my blog - I've also emphasized in them WM6
Standard does NOT support copying / pasting either.

As has asl been pointed out by me, VITO's CopyPaste is the best solution for
copy/pasting.

Maybe I'm reading the question wrong, but to cut and paste text just
highlight the text by moving the stylus across it and then hold the stylus
down to get the option to copy.

Holding the stylus down should give you the option to paste after you have
copied something.

Copy and paste is not included with Mobile 5 on the Blackjack. It's rumored
it will be available with the Mobile 6 upgrade, if and when that happens.

Note that you're referring to the Pocket PC, and not a Smartphone.
Smartphones do NOT have (and will not officially have in WM6) any support
for copy / paste operations. You'll need third-party programs for this; for
example, Vito CopyPaste. They, however, are only able to copy contents of
text input fields / areas.

I also recommend following my articles; for example, in my Smartphone IM
Bible, I've also thoroughly elaborated on the built-in copy/paste
capabilities of the available IM apps.

Thank you for this information. I have upgraded the Dash to WM6 and
there is no copy/paste feature. If I stay with WM I will upload
VITO's CopyPaste.

Windows Mobile is not at all sophisticated in its scheduler or contact
features, and it is cumbersome to input them. I think they must have
designed it to support Outlook rather than be the main scheduling/
contact source. I will either have to try some add-on software to
keep using it, or go back to the Palm for my schedule and contacts.

Thanks for the info about the "Smartphones" that I didn't know earlier.
After more reading I see there is also a "Pocket PC Phone."

BTW your blog looks great from what I've just seen of it and I'll get back
to it.

Yup, Pocket PC phones are different from "(MS) Smartphones" - the latter
refers to the touchscreen-less MS Smartphone platform.

While the Dash is a slick little device, I can't say I'm overly impressed
with the Smartphone flavor of Windows Mobile (now called WM6 "Standard".)

Stylus-based Windows Mobile devices (formerly known as "Pocket PC
Phones," now "WM6 Professional") have far more capability built-in,
greater expansion capability via 3rd party software, and are less reliant
on a PC as a data-entry source.

Most of my contact and calendar data is entered on my PPC Phone and
eventually sync'd to my PC, rather than the other way around.

No stylus on my Dash. No touch screen.

That's how I use my electronic planner also. I was not aware of how
pared down the calendar and contact list was. Does anyone have a
recommendation for add-on calendar/contact software? I'll be cutting
and pasting, rescheduling, and it has to be quicker than it is now.

There're several pretty good ones. I've nominated three titles for the
Awards 2007 process (see the nomination list at
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/awards/ca....asp#SPCatPIMs ):

Agenda One (Developer One, Inc., www.developerone.com)

eXtreme Agenda (Birdsoft, www.birdsoft.net)

Papyrus (SBSH Mobile Software, www.sbsh.net)
