Configuring ActiveSync on Windows Mobile for Exchange Push

I'm not certain how many of you will find this useful, but I had a question about configuring the Touch Diamond to talk to Exchange which I regrettably failed to notice. It's an interesting point of debate, now I come to think of it. When I got my Diamond the first thing I did was confgigure...

SharePoint Website Schematic

I find myself drawing the same diagram over and over again in meetings to explain how SharePoint sites relate to IIS web sites, how managed paths and alternate access mappings fit and why you need to extend the SharePoint web application if you want more than one authentication provider. After some of...

Life with a Diamond: nearly two weeks on

I said I'd post again once I'd had the Diamond a little while. It's now been two weeks and I can honestly say I'm completely happy with it. Battery life for me is fine - I charge it about every three days and it chugs along with exchange push pretty much constantly. I am quite comfortable...

Touch Diamond Battery Life

In my last post about the Diamond I said I would let you know what the battery life is. I therefore carefully refrained from giving it any charge over the weekend, even when connected to my PC. That means that it received no power from 5.30pm on Friday until it died (which it did, eventually). After...

blogging on the move: redux

Richard's little mobile blogging app is nice, but he isn't that responsive to user requests (ie, mine!) so I thought I would see if anything else was out there. Sadly, the answer appears to be 'not really' However, I did come across Diarist, from Kevin Daly. Perhaps not surprisingly I...

My Orange Diamond is... err... black

That might sound like a strange thing to say, but when my shiny new Touch Diamond, which I picked up from Orange this week, has no Orange branding or customisation of the UI. I hadn't really noticed that until I went into the manual, where the screenshots are totally different from my phone. I was...

HTC Touch Diamond on Orange

Thanks to the advanced notice from Tracy and Matt's blog , I picked up my HTC Touch Diamond yesterday from the Orange Store and it's great! 'But wait!' I hear you cry, 'didn't he go on about the experia x1 and how he wanted one ?' Well, yes, I did. I admit it - I am fickle...

Catching Up

I've been far too busy lately and whilst there have been lots of things I wanted to post about, time has not been on my side. Before I start to forget some of the points I thought a quick post was in order. @media 2008 was great. Slides and audio are just filtering onto the blog now. A highlight...

Blogging On The Move

We try to dogfood here at Black Marble so I'm writing this on my HTC TYTN. How? With Richard's new app

The XPERIA X1 - A Windows Mobile device that I could really get excited over

Before I joined Black Marble I had a succession of Sony Ericsson smartphones - the P800, P900 and finally a P910i. They were great - the size was good, the UI was good, the handwriting recognition was excellent (with a grafitti-style interface that meant I could really get a good turn of speed) and I...
