Anyone regularly connect to a terminal server?

[polstein]

I'm interested in switching to this from my Samsung i730 pocketpc/phone - basically looking for a device that will do all the same things - but be more usable with a terminal server.

Anyone have experience using it with a Terminal Server? I'm very interested in screen real-estate / resolution.

Thanks.

I use my ameo to connect to terminal server regularly, it's pretty good and very useful, the screen is usable especially with keys to jump to top left, top right middle, bottom left, bottom right rather then having to scroll around.

I use it often for my own servers and to support my customers. It's a life saver and works very well even over sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooow GPRS.

i use it all the time and i have the kensington bluetooth mouse and the stowaway bluetooth keyboard hooked up and it all works very will with remote desktop. just make sure you get the wm6 version of remote desktop.

I use it all the time to connect to our servers at work to do jobs normally only available internally. Fantastic and plenty big enough.

Thanks for replies - that's my top issue, I can connect to a term. server with my i730, but the screen is stoo small to do anything useful.

The only other thing I will have to work out is portability.

I carry the i730 on a belt, I assume that won't work for the 7501. But carrying it on a belt means always and always having it on-hand. I'd have to do something similar with the 7501.

I'm reading that many people are treating it more as a mini-laptop then a pocketpc/phone - (ie, not always carrying it) - how do you guys handle it? I fear it will be sitting at home when I need to emergency connect to a terminal server.

BTW, I know I'd use a bluetooth headset for phone calls, and I thought about folable (and full size) bluetooth keyboards for data entry - but for some reason I never thought about a bluetooth mouse.

If I carry just the unit (without even the magnetic keyboard) by itself all the time, but have power/bluetooth keyboard & mouse available in a bag for trips... well, VERY tempting.

Oh, almost forgot - 1 handed use! I assume that's out the window - especially reading ebooks 1 handed? Any way to hold the unit with 1 hand & turn pages with the same hand (without pain) ?

Thanks for all help!

Got my HTC in today - trying terminal server. I can connect - sortof.

At the login screen, I don't seem to be able to type anything, with either the hard keyboard, or a sip. Can't change the username, can't type a password.

I have NOT gotten my cell sim chip yet, so I am doing this while connected/synched to my pc - dunno if that has something to do with it.

Any other ideas?

Found this reading the thread....

If the Keyboard isnt working for you it's because you installed the .cab to your storage card. There are scancode files in it that MUST go in the \windows folder, but installing it to a storage card puts them in \Storage Card\Windows.
