I even wiped all the data/apps off it and installed it, and it did the same thing... so I know it's not something that I've put on the phone.

About my comment above, it is about how better grab-and-scroll in Opera for the pocket PC is. In opera, either you drag to select text, or drag to scroll, it's selectable. In IE, it's drag to select text, and sometime, if the width of the finger is wider, the HTC software kicks in and goes into scroll mode. This HTC stuff is a hack on top of IE, which wasn't designed for this. It's easy by mistake to go in the mode where it locks-scroll, where you have to click again to make it stop. Basically it's not confortable and it's random. The grab-and-scroll in Opera for PPC just does what it says, and it doesn't matter how you hit the screen my company uses an Exchange 2003 server.

Supposedly there are hacks for it, but I'm not going to bother going that far. I haven't had any problems with anything else on the Touch locking up - so I'm not sure what you mean by "unlike the rest of the Touch, it works." As for syncing, you would think that would work... but they're running Exchange 2000... from what I gather It only works on 2003 or newer... no? I have 3 walls of cinderblock and a concrete ceiling - no phone reception at all in there - so not really an option I guess. Have you been able to get it to work with Exchange 2k?

I was thinking of giving it a shot, for the zoom in / zoom out feature, which the Mobile version doesn\'t have. Mobile is cool however because you can scroll pages by dragging the finger on the screen - and unlike the rest of the Touch, it works. Just to make sure you got what I meant about sync: If your workplace has outlook web access, setting it up in the HTC Touch Messaging means there is no need to ever sync the touch manually. It will sync mails, contacts, calendar (optionally), using the phone\'s built-in ActiveSync, through the web, throughout the day. why did you give up Opera Mini?

The drawback is that apparently the feature of mounting the device as a drive only works in Tiger. why do you need to sync Outlook at all? In my case I just entered the outlook web access of the work server in the phone, and it will sync to it through the data plan. I'm guessing your workplace perhaps hasn't enabled outlook web access. try opera mobile, it's a free trial for 30 days. I can't decide if it's better than IE or not.
