I just got an Omnigo about three days ago. I've been playing with it a lot
since and I have mixed feelings. I still have the Pilot I bought a week
ago, but was planning on returning it before my month is up. However recent
things I've noticed about the HP make me question my initial decision to
switch. I thought I would air my concerns and hopefully some of you out
there could suggest workarounds to some problems.
Anyway, here goes. Is there any way to go from one field to another just
using the pen? Say you're in the phonebook, or a database, and you want to
go from one field to the next or previous (not next or previous record, but
FIELD). I have tried many things and can't find anything in the docs. The
only thing that seems to work at least for going to the next field, is
pressing the Enter key. Aren't you supposed to use EITHER the keyboad, OR
the pen as input, and not both? Also, does it bother anyone else that the
phonebook has one Name field as opposed to first and last name fields. It
also has no city, state, zip, or email fields, just two address fields. And
you can only enter 64 characters into each field, I guess that's some
inherent limit within the processor. I went ahead and created a database
with many more fields with the goal of using that as a phonebook instead,
though I will have to enter all of this on the omnigo instead of in the
desktop PIM. The labels on the fields can only be 16 characters long -
another limitation. Another thing I just can't understand is the event
feature in the appointment book. What I don't udnerstand is why you can
only create events in the desktop app. They will then show up in the PDA,
but you simply cannot enter one in the PDA itself, as far as I can tell.
Any Ideas? Thanks in advance!
