hello all
I'm new to the smartphones and pocket pc's so i'm looking for help and tired of reading post after post was up all night last night,no matter.I bought the blackjack and really like it so far,and tryin to get most of the info from u guys right before i go and make some changes. So here are some questions that i know u all are tired of answering but plez consider.

1.What are the top most programs i need to install? i'll be using mine for internet, mp3 player,vid clips like from break.com, calender, opening pdf files etc..

2.Can preinstalled programs be uninstalled like solitaire if so how because it dosen't show up in add/remove?

3.Is it just mine or dose most of the web sites cut in half, and why is that or is there somthing i need and why wont some vids open up in the player?

4. Ok last one lol dose a soft reset clear everthing or is that a hard reset.

I know this is a lot but thks for the help..

1. hrmm... top programs?
google maps mobile and/or windows live search mobile are great map/gps/searchers. i have them both because both have pros over eachother.
resco explorer, reg editor, and other resco products are highly used/recommended.
Coreplayer if you have formats other than the really basic standard vid/audio formats to play.
Home screen plugins: Facade, phonealarm, etc...
Theres a growing number of cool things out there. HowardForums is a good place to learn about them all... Time to search through some more posts

2. Preinstalled stuff can be deleted manually through activesync if you "application unlock" your phone. Again, search thru posts for this procedure. Most of it doesn't take up all that much space though...

3. Web sites have to be designed specially for mobile phones due to the screen size. If it's designed for normal web browsers on pc's, its either a minimum of 640, 800, or sometimes 1024 pixels wide, while the bj is only 320. Some sites have special low-bandwidth low-res versions of their sites and will automatically route you there, but others do not. For a good portal to sites meant for mobile browsing, go to pdaportal.com on your phone.

4. Soft reset is just like rebooting your computer. Hard reset is like reformatting.

Hope you're enjoying the Blackjack. I love mine!
