Sorry, I read it as a unit running "Windows Mobile 5 Phone edition".
In the i-Mate phone edition the 'joystick' at the top of the keypad should be able to drive the application in place of tapping with a stylus. YMMV

We have found caches in VIC, NSW, ACT + NZ-NI and China.

If you are using IE and MSN Messenger, then this is only going to raise your risk profile by a minor margin. If you have a tighter, more secure Standard Operating Environment (SOE) you may want to look at other VoIP offerings. Rather than summarising some of the articles, as I was going to do, ther...
