Audiovox SMT 5600 / SPV C500 (HTC Typhoon)
Windows Mobile/Audiovox Usability Questions
Having just picked up an Audiovox 5600 and not having used windows mobile (2003(, I have a couple of questions; perhaps someone here could help,
· Copy/Paste – is there any way to copy/cut/paste? PocketPC does this but I could not find it on WM. AM I missing something? With the effort it takes to put in text we want this even more!
· Is there a way to make the email font smaller to get more on the screen?
· Is there a way to mark a bunch of email and delete? (It could really use a blackberry style scroll wheel for viewing and marking)
· Is there a way (including purchased programs) to group contacts by company? Am I the only one who can’t remember every name?
Thanks!

From reading your post, sounds to me like what you REALLY want is a PDA, not a Smartphone. Regardless of the marketing rhetoric, a Windows-based Smartphone is really geared as mostly a Read-only device.
Sure, you can enter data into it, send emails with it, and so on, but due to the input capabilities, it is really designed to be used in conjunction with a Windows-PC-based hosed running full Outlook (which is why Outlook comes on the CD with the phone). Outlook running on a computer provides you with complete editing, categorizing, and originating abilities.
If you really plan on "WORKING" from your mobile device, you need a PDA, not a cell phone. The cell phone format really only provides a minimalist method of getting access to data...
