[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] WM5 PocketPC and fax

[Jim Robertson]

I hope I'll be forgiven for posting a newbie question here that's not
specifically related to iSync. I'm looking at Cingular's quad-band 8125
Pocket PC phone. One thing I'd like to do with it is be able to print forms
stored on the handheld as .pdf files or Word documents on fax machines close
to where I am (I'm a physician; these would mostly be customized admission
and discharge order sets, informed consent forms for procedures I perform,
etc.). Currently I carry a bunch of these forms around in my car, but if I'm
sitting on "2 East" or "4 West" I could just print to the nursing station
fax machine. Do these phone/pda units have the ability to function as fax
transmitters without using a service such as eFax?

Before you suggest I just log on to my hospital's 802.11.g network, I should
tell you my hospitals don't HAVE such networks available to the medical
staff.

Has anyone used the Cingular 8125? They're also marketing an HP device
(hw6515), which ships with Pocket PC 2003 phone edition, but it's more
expensive, has a smaller screen, and has a tiny keyboard.

If this is thought by the listmoms to be too far off topic to carry as a
thread, I'd appreciate any off-list replies.

Thanks so much,

Jim Robertson
