Well this is a bit of a detour off topic but have you explored the bluetooth option for using your phone to access the net ?

Well, I used to use bluetooth while connecting PDA with my old mobile, but to be honest I don't have any clue how to set it up with PB and symbian phone now
Have you ever tried it?

Well I have used bluetooth to connect my PDA to the net through my PC, and I'll be able to do the same with the pocketbook if they finally add the option to edit the PPP connection script.
From what I've seen of it while trying to locate why it won't connect to the PC properly it shouldn't be very hard with a phone that supports it, it actually seems geared towards it.

It would be of great benefit other than fixing the deficiency mentioned above if they also added support for ad-hoc Wi-Fi, you can't really expect everyone to have a router or an access point at home, not to mention a cell-phone data package.


Edit:
On topic now, I keep forgetting to mention does anyone else run into a bug when the library app won't launch in landscape mode ? don't know what triggers it or why it stops after a while.

It is Worth it to upgrade?

It is Worth it to upgrade a PB902 to 2.0.5( not arabic version)?

I've been reading all these horrors histories and I do not think to upgrade, I am on 2.0.4 and I am very satisfied....

Any PB902 users that have the 2.0.5 version, Any good to say?

I have a PB902 with 2.04 and I'm still hesitating to upgrade - I don't want to lose the dictionaries and I haven't read about any great improvement.

To anybody who understands russian: in the message in the russian forum linked by Kacir Pocketbook's CEO, Oleg Naumenko, says something about dictionaries which might mean that 44 of them are still free, while 26 are trial versions, but I am not sure whether I should trust google translate - can any Russian speaking member of this forum confirm? I am on 2.0.5 (though with a 903), and (although extremely slow) what I like is the ability to edit notes by freehand: i repeat, very slow (closer to a proof of concept than the real thing), but at least it is there (and hopefully improved in the next update) and I do need it. But I guess this wouldn't be much of a bonus for models without a stylus input.

I can confirm about the dictionaries : Олег said that all devices have preinstalled 44 dictionaries Liungvo + Korolev +Webster + English-German
There is 26 trial advanced Liungvo
Later in the discussion "Ключник" has mentioned that 2.0.6. firmware should be release within 2-3 weeks.

I didn't have time to read whole thing - I just saw something about problems with Booklands the new firmware is going to fix. As long as Bookland does not interest me I didn't look for additional details. And "Ключник" said they are working on better filters by genre, authors etc. The-ebook.org forum is extremely lively, I just have no time/interest to read it in depth. I think mthraveler should be more active.

Oh great, can't wait to get better filters

What about a decent adobe reader "fitwith"-option? Or such unimportant things like a 115% zoom-factor in adobe reader or a font size inbetween 9 and 12? Or a well ported coolreader? Or css formatting in fbreader? But nevermind, I'm not sure if I even care anymore. I hope there will be more 9'' devices on the market soon, I definitely will not buy any other PB reader and cannot recommend this company to anyone.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the non-advanced Lingvo dictionaries a free demo ?
So did we get sucked in with 44 dictionaries that are free and 26 that are just trial versions ?
If we did it might not be lying but it sure is misleading.

this was not the main attraction for me, but you are surely right - my gripe is that all demonstrations pointed to the possibility of free-hand pdf annotation, I am still hopeful, though, as competition is increasing (the Boox M90 has the same price as the PB903), and soon we'll have more covers to choose from (M90 has the sam dimensions as the large PB90X)
