Hi girls,

Thanks to everyone for a month of lurking and learning- I finally bought an x30 high, and love it. Came from 3 palms, most recently a T. Still have it if anyone wants to buy! :D

Here, I learned how to set up my wireless internet and synch, I learned about sniffers, speaker hisses, wireless range and setup, and great shareware- a totally awesome forum.

1. Like on a tablet PC, I want to use the stylus to "write" ( graphics ) a handwritten letter to an email recipient. You know, the old fashioned way. Is there an ink program the integrates/works with pocket outlook email to allow me to hand draw a letter, then send it as a jpeg or whatnot? Either thru sync with desktop outlook, or thru an smtp account on the x30 and pocket outlook?

2. I read about the speaker hiss- on my external I have some ambient hiss, not as loud as a snake or a tire leak, but loud enough to hear. Am I defective, or os this just a small thing to bear with digital mp3s? It's an audiobook, so maybe the recordning sucks....

3. The best price on an sd card is new egg at 175-ish for a 1 gig sd card, right? If in the future they come out with a 2 gb, am I to assume that the x30 specs are laid in stone- an sd slot that accomodates "up to" a 1gb card, and no more???

4. The upper right corner of mt screen has the x to close programs- I have to sometimes hit it twice as it does not seem to be quite as sensitive as the other parts of the screen. Do I suffer from screen sensitivity enough to need a return, or, again, this is just within the normal range...

5. Other than wolfclock, is there a clock with a chime 15 minutes, or hourly? Will it turn on to chime if it's off?

6. Is there a list somewhere of programs that can run totally ( program and data ) or partially ( program on sd card and data in ram ) of the sd card? I'm thinking with a palm head here, and with palm, this is still an issue- maybe I need a primer on how ppc handles data, data writes, and such. My real point here is, if I have 64M ram, and a 65M database on sd card- are there programs that can access and write but transferring partial pieces of the 65M database to ram, write, and then transfer back- - or -- by simple math, one can not edit a 65M database residing on the card if one has only 64M RAM?.....

7. VOIP. Has anyone been able to use the x30 to talk thru the net VIA the wifi connection? I use net2phone, and also packet8.net.

8. IM. I installed agilemessenger 2.10. Yahoo still never works. Other than yahoo's ppc client, and multi-network ppc IM actually work consistently with all 4 big ones?

9. I read conflicting accounts- It's been 10 days since my order- can I indeed retro order the total care package ( the spill coffee on it and get it replaced one ) ? Do I need to buy the extended warrantee for the same frame as the extended total care, or are they simply independent?

I'm totally sorry fgor dumping all these questions on you, but I figured I'd just shoot my data packet all at once, and then go on to help others as I just registered...

Thanks! :p
