well the programs you can use have to wm5 compatible as well as 240 x 240 square screen and if there not they may not work like they are supposed to work and that may not be a good thing. Check with the frree downloads here at ET and other treo sites and look at the windows mobile programs and try a web search for windows mobile freeware. I would expect there to be a freeware window mobile site like freewarepalm.com.

the suer guide (750) which should be the same for the 700w and wx say"you can use internet mobile explorer to install windows mobile apps in the CAB file format directly from the internet. For files in any other format except cab you must first download the files to your computer and then install them to your device by synchronizing with phone on press start select internet explorer go to page that contai ns the link to the program you want to download press left or right to highlight the link to the app you want to download and press the center button in the middle of the five way to start the dowenload process once the download is done press start select programs select file explorer go to my documents folder tap the file you dowenloaded to start the installation program. Get back if still having problems

what I have found with installing programs on my 750 is that you really need tto have the treo on and have the programs screen up and going because during the installation progress tyhe desktop software says check the handheld for additional steps or something like like that and unless you have the at screen up and running you miss the additional step of telling it whether you want then program installed on the handheld itself or an expansion card. Or you might be able to tell it to just install off the lower left part of the screen. Try thatmit worked for me installing the sprite backup and ereader programs yesterday.
