thank you so much for talking back.

IMHO, the issue in this scenario is that phones – IMHO – are to weak to handle the kind of scanning used on the desktop today, let alone the huge signatures…

For example, just yesterday I connected my Palm Pixi to my laptop and was clearing out junk folders and files. There was a trojan software there (Instant.Access.exe) which made its way to my laptop. Thankfully Norton kicked in and a quick phone call to my business IS support got rid of it. So again, it would be nice to have a security filter on the phone to detect unwanted items from sneaking onboard. Cheers y'all!

The screen starts to be unresponsive and I have to use the button controls to get to Prefs, and as soon as I get to prefs the digitiser target comes on by it self. Sometimes I have to go through about two or three resets on the digitiser before it takes. I bet it all will come down to third party issues. Palm will probably have it worked out when they get to the 1000 series Treos? Best-R Now the digitiser has to be rest every couple of days.

I will try to keep a cop if I get another. Best regards, Roy Hi Tam,

I just started using the Versamail and I must have clicked on an attachment by accident. I have had to hard reset the 700p about once a month scince I got it. The main problem is it gets stuck in a loop. I don't know how my time and zone settings got so messed up, but it just is another shrimp on the problem barbie i guess.
