I have just purchased the HP iPAQ 4150. I am setting up the owner information. My problem is putting in my email address. Its 41 characters long, is there any way I can change the settings so I can include this.

not that I know of -

That said - not knowing your email address or the domain in the UK - (not asking you to post it here) is it possible that there's a shorter way to type it in?

For example - I recently tried AT&T while searching for a broadband provider - the "published" email they gave us, was USERID@WORLDNET.ATT.NET - however, my wife called them to ask if we could get a "smaller" address - they told her that simply typing USERID@ATT.NET is the same thing - cuts down by 8 characters (yes - I found the two version posted on their website later)

So - would your ISP allow you to use a smaller version?

The limit I counted on my pocket pc is 36 characters - just to make sure we're talking the same thing.

Hope this helps.

Your ISP may allow you to set up an alias for your userid. For example, my ISP allows me to alias my userid (beantown53@domainn) to btown@domain.

Good luck
