I am guessing that you are connecting via GPRS? I use a 9300, on occasion
with GPRS but usually plain GSM. I never see the message "Time, calendar and
city details updated" with GSM connections, but always do with a new GPRS
session (repeatedly, as you describe, if I have the GPRS session time limit
set and it keeps timing out then reconnecting). So, to answer your last
question, don't blame Nokia or the network, but your GPRS settings :-)

I too have been caught out by the retiming of agenda entries in different
time zones - clearly a different behaviour from my old S5 and revo+. I don't
really like it, and I'm sure it defeats the object of the device but I
suppose you could avoid all the confusion by just using GSM connections when
traveling!

Enjoy your trip...

Why would you care which Home City is shown if the local time is correct?
My Windows thinks I'm in Berlin but I'm not - so what? So what is happening to the appointments - still screwed up or now correct?
Ciao Karl

As I had previously mentioned, when I arrived in Chicago and switched the phone on, auto update kicked in and changed my time and home city to Chicago - so far, so good. All times in Calendar were also shifted to the new local time. I then moved on to Minneapolis. This is in the 9300 cities list, but auto update didn't recognize this and home city remained at Chicago. I manually changed it to Minneapolis, switched the phone off, switched it back on again and home city went back to Chicago! As the time zone is the same, this did not affect my Calendar times. Today I moved to Las Vegas. This city is for some reason not in the 9300 city list. Again, auto update kicked in, time was adjusted to PST, and the home city is now shown as Los Angeles! I am wondering on what basis the auto update function works. The 9300 of course does not have a GPS, so presumably it cannot tell my precise location.

Thanks for encouragement and advice, Itamar and Malcolm, and for taking the trouble to give all the necessary settings. I shall struggle on. When you say, Malcolm, that you connect via international dialling codes, do you mean you dial into your UK-based 0845 number from abroad? I think I've understood from Itamar that the days of getting anywhere with a Compuserve Classic local access number are over.

If you were dialling into an 0845 number from a hotel room in some far-flung place, using a phone card account to avoid exorbitant hotel charges, would
it just be a matter of entering all the various numbers with commas in between, or is there another way? There would be the number to get a line, then the number to dial into your phone card account, then your account number and PIN, then the internationalised version of your ISP's 0845 number.

My broadband supplier, Metronet, also offers dial-up, so I shall try that and see what happens. Otherwise I'll have a go at Virgin.net and/or Freeserve.

I have tried introducing the MC218 to the concept of a Psion IR Travel Modem, by entering it as a new modem, set to IR, and accepting all other default settings. Worth a try, and all that.

Jon,

the Psion has a debugging facility built in:

Create the Directories C:\Logs\Etel, C:\Logs\NetDial and C:\Logs\Email.

This will give you detailed reports of what's going on and what are the failures. You can then try to fix the modem settings.

Subject: Re: Revo "Corrupt Files"

I purchased a well used Revo (it has a non-harmful vertical crack in the middle of the screen) and sort of use it as a weekend (less bulky) device. I just IR my agenda and data (name and address) files from my 5mx.  But now, after charging the battery from empty, I am unable to IR those files without being advised that the "file is Corrupt"

Deleting the file on the Revo and trying again is no joy.  I have put a paper clip end in "1", then "2" to reboot.  Still no joy.

Suggestions welcomed.

Hi there,

the missing touch screen of the 9500 was a problem for me, too.
Therefore I was delighted reading Max's a.m. message. Thanks again, Max.

I found the German company Mobiltec24 (www.mobiltec24.de), selling such a keyboard -  the Chainpus Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard BK-600 - for abt. 79 Euro / 54 GBP / 82 $ + transport costs.

The explanations at the website are yet in German, unfortunately. But if you enter BK-60 in the search dialog, you will find the keyboard. The delivery dialog is in English: follow the most left link "WarenkorbBestellen".
Mobiltec24 is a very quick company. I ordered the keyboard at Wednesday and at Saturday I got it, already.
 
It's great, to work with this keyboard !
