Ah, but there is a way! To view or change your smartphone's current Device ID: Press Start, then select Settings. Choose the System tab, then select About. Select the Device ID tab, and observe the "Device name." This is the same device name that appears in ActiveSync on your desktop PC

Cheerio!

Thanks, but that's for a Pocket PC device. We're talking about Smartphones Wink

No worries. It's a major source of confusion. And it doesn't help that some PPCs are advertised as Smartphones. Rolling Eyes Anyway, that's a topic for another day. Wink

Yes indeed. As a matter of fact, I retreived this information (including the word "smartphone") from the Treo 700w website (a PPC). While I understand the difference, one of the forum post-ers had an avatar of the Cingular 8125, which happens to be another PPC.

False advertising sucks.

Or you can edit the registry yourself. Depends on your comfort level. It's stored in the following key. And make sure you don't put any spaces in it.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident\Name



Many, many thanks!

I searched nearly 2 hours for this... I just didn't see this registry key in Mobile Registry Editor!

Best regards
