Moving from Pocket PC to P910

I'm about to make the move from my iMate JAM to a P910a, but I have just a few questions to ask before I go through with it. I've done a search for some of these, but a few I couldn't dig out the answers to. Here we go:

1) AIM: Is there a program out there that will be constantly connected to AOL Instant Messenger, whether I lose signal, get a phone call, or connect to my computer to sync? I used to have the T-Mobile SideKick a looong time ago and AIM never disconnected. I've read Agile Messenger is a good program... does it do this? Also, I'm looking for a screenshot of this program running on UIQ.

2) I love Windows Mobile, and I love the Today Screen plug-ins for it. I use a plug-in called PocketBreeze right now, which places all my tasks, appointments, and many other things right on the today screen so I can quickly glance at it. I read about two programs that do this on these forums... theres a "Sony Ericsson Desktop" and a "Handy Today," if my memory serves me correctly. Which one would resemble the Today Screen the most, or at least show the most information? Does anybody have any screenshots of these programs, too?

3) Web Browsing... Is there a really good HTML browser for UIQ? I loved ThunderHawk for WM, so I was wondering if anything like that is for the P910. Again, screenshots would be greatly apreciated...

That pretty much covers everything. Whether you just want to link me to a few pages that tell me the answers to my questions or just write em out here, it would help me either way. Thanks very much!!

Handy Day is the most like the PPC today screen, only better because you can have multiple today sreens all configured differently!

A couple screenshots showing some of the plugins included:

I think you can stay connected on Agile Messenger.... but I have never tried it. I dont wanna use too much data lol.

And a good HTML browser is Opera. Sorry I do not have any screenshots right now.

Opera is a fine browser but it can't hold a candle to ThunderHawk. But then, it's a whole heck of a lot cheaper, as in free.

Two years ago I bought the P900 after using a Siemens SX56 / XDA. At first I hated it. Now I can't live without it, though I'm using a P910a now. You'll like the change...welcome...

For me,
Pocket PC to UIQ is a BIG NO.... especially if u are a power user.

1) AIM: U need to purchase Agile Messagger to be able to use while PPC's ICQ and MSN is a freeware.

2) Today screen: Today screen of UIQ does not work the as way as PPC. If u wanna go to the Today Screen on UIQ device, 1st u need to enter to Handy Day program then only u can have 'today screen'.

3) Web: Be prepare to scroll more when browse net. UIQ's screen is smaller and so the pixel.

4) The respond of UIQ is much slower compare to PPC.

5) UIQ did have the "tap & hole" to activate a menu for copy and paste. And many build in software did not have undo function. So if u accidently deleted something, it will gone forever...

To be fair to P910/900, it looks much much more stylish that PPC. You can feel many ppl staring at u while using it.
This is my experience switching for PPC to P900.
