For radio, check out Resco Radio: http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/radio/default.asp

GPS, you need an external receiver and then GPS software like TomTom: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/XDA-Exec-GPS.htm

For your WMP problem, goto Menu/Options/Video in WMP and there's a setting there to scale it to full window. Personally, I'd recommend having a go with TCPMP, it's freeware and much better for video and audio than WMP (in my opinion).

Welcome to the XDA, hope you have as much fun as a lot of us do :)

first at all, thanks for the info. for the windows media player, i've set the the video to full scale but it is still small. i don't understand what "recommend having a go with TCPMP, it's freeware and much better for video and audio than WMP (in my opinion)". i'm sorry. too slow to learn all this thing.. which rom u recommend i should upgrade to? does it affect the resco pocket radio if i installed new rom u recommended? what the differences windows mobile 6 (crossbow) and the normal windows mobile in xda exec? what is an extended rom? thanks for the replies...

TCPMP stands for The Core Pocket Media Player, http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download

Does what WMP does, just better.

There are a few threads already about the benefits/limitations of WM6, it's really a personal thing and some prefer it, some don't. It's missing some components like video calling, but fixes for this are now being released. It really is a case of trying it for yourself and seeing what you prefer. It's certainly faster than WM5.

Extended ROM is a small 10mb memory section which is locked by operators and contains their own customisations and settings which are activated on hard reset. You can unlock this and remove all those files and use it for your own storage, be it programs or music or whatever.

Go hunting, there are a lot of threads that you should read before you get started, firstly, read the WIKI and get to know a bit more about your device before you do anything a bit more advanced.

Good luck.
