Can ANY ONE tell me how I can send a contact via Bluetooth.I can receive via Bleutooth when it is selected to receive any incomming and is available to others.It seems there is not a facility on the XDA EXEC,not sure about the XDA MINI.If you have THIRD PARTY software and where I can download it from will be great.I use now HanDBase for databases and is better than I thought.
If you thinking of using Yahoo mesenger on your XDA EXEC,download Agile Messenger and you can use it hten with your MSN Messenger and even GOOGLE TALK.
The SKYPE work wonderful on mine without any trouble,other people complain about it,WHY???
My next upgrade with O2 will be the Orbit if it can handle SKYPE with the Texas instrument 200mhz processor.Some one said it might be a 3core chip,if it's true,it will be able to handle it.If it doesn't,I will just ask O2 to redo the upgrade back to another XDA EXEC.
If you guys have any other hints about the XDA EXEC,please let me know at henning.ras@gmail.com

in order to connect activesync via bluetooth, u have to add a com port that will allow the connection btwn the phone and pc. this can be done thru your bluetooth settings on pc, and make sure the com ports correspond with active sync's settings.
GPRS connections settings for the phone can be found in various forums on the web. just do a search. this allows u to connect to the web without a wi-fi connection.

I got my replacement XDA exec yesterday from o2 but it has no word or excel on it. Why would this happen? Also it wont even automatically find GPRS internet settings which it usually does. My memory starts at 27.83 storage memory which I know is far too low and it should be 31mb storage memory. o2 said I should first try and get a flash upgrade from the shop. Is this right or should I just send it back. I now have the option of chosing another handset but I see the Exec as the best one so not sure what to do other than get another Exec.

Active Sync should only run when a USB cable is inserted and u ask it connect always. If its still running without the cable go to task manager and tell it to close Active Sync.
My XDA Exec crashed on me 5 mins ago. I just have a white screen. 4th time its happened now.

I've also had 3 XDA Execs in a year. Same problem with the phone crashing and me just getting a white screen. However I love the Exec. I have so many good programs and all I want now is an upgrade. I can upgrade now but thre isnt a Pocket PC on 02 out which I want instead of the Exec. I thought something else would of been avaliable by now?

Those who are so negative against this pda phone want their Nikon, Canon, Pentax and what ever camera spec built-in this phone. All I can say to them, shame on you!! If you want to take digital pictures, use your digital camera and NOT the XDA.
So can I say about them who are complaining about the quality of the sound for mp3 music, stick to your IPOD or Creative Zen, or what ever MP3 player you have?
Although this is my third one in 10 months, the problem I had with it, was plain NOT my mistakes but the ROM update and software that malfunctioned. After six months it started to crash during calls or did a soft reset by itself.
I took it to the O2 shop,O2 update the ROM, but when it came back, the sim card holder couldn't lock in position .I could see the marks that it was broken with force to put the test sim card in it....So it was sent back to repairs again.
After eight days I received a brand new one. Then after the instalment of the GPRS monitor and PDF viewer it crashed about four or five times and reset during a call.
Like some one else, I had to phone customer care at the O2 Centre ,the one person, can not mention his name, was very helpful to me and gave me even an email how to install the up to dated ROM. After three weeks it crashed again, phone them again but then a very RUDE,ARROGANT helper told me that the midlet manager is not suppose to work for the customer!!!
I took it back to the shop and after seven days, O2 gave me new one.
Since then it was still function well and did not give me any trouble.
I have installed SKYPE on it and works wonderful on the device. Other programmes I use on it are MXIT for FREE TXT'S on the wireless network at home. To use the mxit on the device you have to go on the following website: www.mxit.co.za/wap and select the MOTOROLA V220's midlet to install. Unluckily the IMATE JASJAR's midlet is not working well. Make sure all your friends have that on their phone and add them like in MSN chat.
Then I also have Bible Reader, E-sword Bible Program, Mobipocket Reader, VERY GOOD READER and then THE LONDON UNDERGROUND MAP.NO MORE paper maps for me and it also can work out the journey time between stations.
Plan to install the TOM TOM gps on it and according I heard, it work great on it.
My contract on O2 expires end of December and I might go for the same one again, because it is already the TOP MODEL in the XDA range.
If the XDA MINI s had the same specs like the XDA EXEC in a NEW model, it was the one for me to go for.
The replacement on the XDA EXEC will be the HTC TyTN+ .It has all the capabilities of the XDA EXEC but looks like the XDA MINI S.
When I phoned O2 customer care if they will launch it, I got only a response that is only available in Asia, why them and NOT here in the UK.
If T-MOBILE has it, WHY CAN'T O2 NOT HAS IT ASWELL!!!
Thinking of buying it at the second shop and just unlock it and then use my O2 sim card in it.
Additional features
Full MS Office could be a better option so you could have MS Database on it. It is after all a business phone/TOY!!
What a bout push email and HSPD. They could put the following in the box, cradle and car charger, a protective screen layer and case that you do not accidentally press the record button. The record button could be slide action, there is enough space. What about a CF card slot on the side or a jacket with extended battery.
HINTS
The stylus jacket get worn out easily, so do not use the one inside, rather buy a stylus pen and forget about the original one, or leave it at home.
DO NOT USE THE O2 ACTIVE ON THE DASH BOARD!! It slows the device down. Install the following programmes: Adobe Reader 2.0, Engineering Calculator or Business one, Real One Player and also KSE TRUE FAX from the XDA MINI. It is cheaper for me to fax from my XDA EXEC than a normal fax machine to any where in the world and even faster.
I can not go without these programmes and use it everyday.

Consider this one a mini laptop with a communicator capability also.If you are looking for a real good PDA,a communicator with 3G,great screen resolution,office suite,full E-mail functionality,capable of fast browsing then this is it.If you want a 'plain phone' to stick to your ear or just a camera with a zoom,stay away from Exec.This one is really for executives with a little bit of I.T. knowhow

I got bored with this phone within a day. Its rubbish for calls (if you dont get your ear just right you cant hear anything and if your phone is shut you cant tell who is calling) and texts (impossible to text in a car without crashing, on my old phone I could feel the buttons and text without looking). I just takes so long to do anything that Ive stopped using it all together which is good for my phone bills. If you sit and stare at a PC all day then this phone is just like that. BORING AND SLOW
