    is there anyway of surfing the net with it wireless and far away from home =)?
    how much does 1gb card cost aprox.? are there bigger cards than 1gb (guess not =/)?

    Optimal video pixel size: Most pocket PCs have a 240 x 320 display, so if you want to watch the movie on the whole screen, use 240 x 320.

    Surfing the net wirelessly and away from home: I've done this 2 different ways. The most obvious is using a 802.11 "hot spot", such as at a hotel or a cofee shop. They're not always free. The other way I've done it is by using bluetooth to connect to my bluetooth enabled phone and "dial up" a connection. You will need a dial-up ISP account to do this.

    You can get a 1GB SD (secure digital) card for as little as $73.99. If your device accepts CF (Compact Flash) cards, they have capacities as high as 8GB! Look at TigerDirect.com for latest prices on memory cards.

    A bluetooth enabled Pocket PC will let you transfer files (ringtones, wallpapers, MP3 files, etc...) to another bluetooth device. The question is, will your bluetooth phone accept them? On my Motorola V710, the bluetooth only supports wireless headsets and dial-up networking. It depends on which bluetooth profiles are enabled on your phone. Your cellphone service provider should be able to answer this question for you.
