I have been running around on these forums for at least 5 hours before registering and I have to say these forums are a great source for these intresting and fun devices. I currently don't have one but will in about a week from this post and wanted to learn as much as possible before having it in my hands. There is a lot of great info here but finding it isn't the easiest of things to do.

A FAQs section or Guide section would help newbies like myself.

I say this because finding out things like is the T-mobile pocket pc phone edition the same as a XDA took me about an hour. Finding the software talked about in posts is very hard and good clear discriptions is even harder. I read about all these different ROMs and cookin em etc ( I downloaded the xda SE 1.2 cause it has most of the stuff I want) and find em or clearly understanding what programs will install em under windows I just can't figure out yet. Making Custom ROMs or adding or removing stuff from ROMs people made avail is something I want to learn about but finding the info all in one place doesn't seem like its going to happen.

I run a small web site and will be creating pages with some FAQs and Guides and maybe even hosting some files (of the free kind) this will take some time as right now I am using my cell phone as my computer modem, with a 115kbps connection it will be a slow process and I will post some place when its avail. Granted this guide will be geared towards the tmo PPCPE that I will be getting at the end of Jan.

We've always realised the lack of structured information is a problem here. The main reason is that we're mostly into discovering and developing new things, and that we'd rather spend time figuring out stuff (remove SIMlock, make internal chipdisk writable, understand the GSM part better, etc.) than writing FAQs and HOWTOs. We will, however get to some of this in the not so distant future.

Have you seen the encyclopedia ?

I have seen how the little popups things but have not spent the time in that section yet. If you need any help with the forums I will donate my time to help out.
