Upgrade my old SVP C500 to a brand spanking new Orange SVP C600. It’s very nice with a much improved resolution on the screen. Not sure about all the new features though to be honest as I’ve hardly had the time to look into the manual yet. It’s running Windows Mobile 5.0 so I thought great, lets do some SmartPhone development for it. Porting over Pocket Blogger to the smartphone will be a breeze I thought except I can’t get any of the webservice calls to work. I’m not sure whether it’s the webservice call that’s failing itself (I’ve read some places that you need to use an IP address rather than a domain name), or if the phone is failing to connect to the net at all! Any .NET SmartPhone developer gurus out there want to help me!? I gave up to be honest before I really started looking into it.
What we are going to get up running though at work is Exchange 2003 SP2 and the push emails to Mobile 5.0 devices. I’ll let you know how that all goes. From the blurb from Microsoft it should be as easy as anything, but you always know that probably isn’t the case!
