Oh, patience my friend, I am sure this problem is already taken care of. All it needs is some additional time. If you give WinCE (or PPC2000) a tough ride on the 3870 then you will soon find several show stoppers in there too. At least for me it crashed several times so I had to press the reset button (especially while trying Bluetooth).

But I admit this problem annoys me a little as it prevents me from using my new iPaq as real PDA...
