Just joined the Vario III club - my first phone of this kind and first PDA for a while. Thanks to those reporting that they can get TT working with this; I read elsewhere that the T-mobile verion of the Kaiser was locked to Copilot.
How does the thing handle calls coming in whilst using GPS? I guess you'd want it to switch to the phone app, then swithc back automatically to GPS when you terminate the call. Is this what happens in practice?
Thanks
Band that's what happens matey.
And it's not LOCKED to co-pilot.
The Mini SD card comes with it on, but you can remove it if you wish.
I am running a hacked ROM and TT6. If I get a call when running TT it rings as normall and displays the call info at the bottom of the screen (push answer or reject on screen), with TT running behind. I use a £25 holder / hands free / charger that I got of ebay, theres a button on it that you can push to answer calls, think you can also use it to make calls with TT running, just push and say the name. Or for more in depth voice control you could install voice command, which you dont have to train and can be used to manually dial, call contacts, read text messages, and loads of other stuff.
I'll stick with Winmobile for the same reasons - it's just so configurable. Yup, the default UI sucks but then there's a stack of third party apps to fix that.

are there any third party apps that adopt the user interface thats similar to the iphone or th LG viewty? i like the use of big icons so that you dont have to depend on the stylus all the timeOriginally Posted by dangel
Yes PointUI Home.
Pointui, the definitive user interface for mobile devices.
its good and getting better
was a rumour i never saw denied that they may start charging for it.. which i see as a bit of a dirty bait and switch but nevermind

Being honest Madduck, if they keep it improving and make it customisable, I'd happily pay for it. It's that good.
I have a variety of sharware and freeware on my phone, if its good I tend to shove some cash the devs way. I prefer paying the odd £5 or £10 here and there to single person outfits, rtaher than the big developers. £10 is my usual cutoff amount, but if its really good would pay a bit more.
Just installed pointui for the first time, its really good. Nice and simple front end, but all your apps behind when you need them. Will sign up to the forums and see whats what, would like to increase the numer of favourite apps beyond 7 for starters.
I need to give PointUI another go, it was the second release I tried way back at Christmas. it was good, but I coulnd't live with it then.
Also have a look at PocketCM. I use that for contacts and messaging. Not perfect yet, but with every release the developer is focusing on two or three key features.
if they could get all the functionality of the phone in there i would too, only needing to leave to UI to play games/ use "3rd party" apps. then yes. its no good being able to thumb around in point UI if you still have to get the stylus out to write a text. we shall see how far they go with it.

can you customize the background and icons off that UI? damm that UI practicly sealed the deal. im gunna get this phone! one more thing, is there a special usb connection that connects a regular headfones into this phone?
one of those. loads on ebay for a few quid

You can also get right angled connectors without the wire in between
Here you go:
JAVO 11 pin to 3.5mm stereo headphone adapter @ store.xda-developers.com
Although it is a shame it actually protrudes before turning 90 degrees. Would be good it is hugged the bottom of the phone.
could also get a bluetooth audio receiver and plug phones into that. they double as remotes too which is fancy
