Ive just got a old pocket pc and I would like to control my main pc from my bed, so I can play all my music. Is there any software for Windows mobile 2003 SE for controling desktop and start menu for my vista pc??

Have you tried Remote desktop?

Ive given up with the pocke pc cos for some reason when you put it in the cradle to recharge it some times dose a hard reset that wipes everything of the phone/pocket pc.

So Ive decided to get a xda II phone of the bay, This phone Ive seen is a "Orange SPV M1000" but its basically a XDA II, and its been upgraded from Windows Mobile 2003 to Windows Mobile 6.1. It has a SD card slot but no wifi, so what I want to know is, do all XDA II phones dont have wifi? This phone I have now hasnt wifi but its got a wifi sd card, so I was thinking I could use the card if I win the auction?

Aso my mate says It should be much easier remotly using my main pc from win mobile 6.1 then win mobile 2003, is that true? Cos thats the main reason I want one and I think I might replace my moblie phone with it?

Not really. I have a Dell AXIM WITH PPC 2003 and an Omnia with 6.1. Both use exactly the same software to remote in. If you don't want to use Remote Desktop, there are many programs to give you similar functionality. Just look at the XDA developers forum.

I couldnt see any software on windows mobile 2003 for remote desktop?? So if theres some external software to dl for remote desktop for windows mobile 2003, what is the best one thats compatable with vista??

Well ive been messing about downloading software trying to get it to remote desktop but no joy and was going to give up until I saw "Terminal Services Client" on windows moblile. That sort of worked and I did remotly ran winamp, but it wouldnt play for some reason?? But the software kept hanging and crashing so I couldnt really do much anyway. Ive looked for another version of "Terminal Services Client" for windows mobile but theres none.

So If I got a phone with mobile 6.1 will the "Terminal Services Client" softwhare be any better with a vista desktop pc, cos Ive had no luck with downloading external remote desktop software?
