Wrong about the mouse...

I thought I read somewhere that the WM UI did not support a mouse. Boy, was that wrong! I have a Targus bluetooth media mouse that I tried unsuccessfully to pair to the HTC Advantage. After trying over and over to pair the mouse, I finally got it to work. First, I didn't enter any passcode and hit next. I got a question asking for permission to pair the mouse with the device. I answered "yes". Then, the software goes back to the passcode screen and won't give me an option but to enter a passcode. I enter "0000" and it works. I suddenly have a mouse!

I must say that the more I figure out how to do on the HTC Advantage, the more I am falling in love with "Addy." h/t to Kevin Tofel for naming devices.

I found that using the Advantage is the best way to see if it really meets your needs and like I stated in my review, I had not real interest in the device until I actually had time to play with it. I was going to suggest PrintBoy, but couldn't remember the name. I wonder if the HP Mobile Printing solution would work (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=235049&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=242184&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1087)?

Thanks, Matt. I guess HP abandoned the Mobile Printing solution awhile back. I've found a link to download version 4 for Pocket PC 2002. It installed but wouldn't run when I tried it.
