Recieved it today. Now, I am trying to load up my contacts. Hmm, I have my contacts in Lotus Notes. But the Epix, being a Windows Mobile SmartPhone only syncs with contacts in Outlook. Pretty frustrating. I have exported my contacts in every possible form out of Notes, and not one of the options does a clean job of exporting. But even if the exports were clean, I have to have Outlook installed to import to. Guess what, I don't have Outlook on my PC. UUgghh!!

Here is a link to a helpful blog post to load contacts into WM from a CSV formated file. It requires you install PIM Backup freeware software.

I may have to work on the contacts another day. But now, I want to get Google Talk on my new phone. Hmmm, it is not in the IM software already loaded. Is there a client for WM for Gtalk? I have been looking, but not found much on this so far.  I have found OctroTalk and Fring. I haven't tried hard to get OctroTalk to work, but I downloaded it and put it out on the phone, but it doesn't work. Maybe I need to install it. I tried through the sync software, but it didn't sem to like it. I don't really know what all I am doing just yet, so some of this may be due to my ignorance. I think I may look into Fring and see if I can get it working.

Update: Fring was super easy to download, install and setup on my new Windows Mobile SmartPhone. I highly recomend it!!
