Q1 How can I accept incoming calls?

A1 You can tap on the green call button on the screen of your xda. Alternatively, you can press the green call button on the lower part of the device. For speaker phone function, you can press and hold the green 'talk' button on the device for 3 seconds and the speakerphone would be activated. Alternatively, a earpiece can be used.

Q2 I am searching for a tool, with which it is possible to turn the xda phone off and on, depending on the time of the day. Does such a programme exist and where can I purchase it?

A2 http://web.phonesnooze.com:888/ - With this tool, you can define when the phone in xda should turn on or off.

Q3 Can I divert my phone calls?

A3 Yes. To divert, go to Start > Settings > Personal 'Tab' > Phone > Services 'Tab' > Select 'Call forwarding' > Click 'Get Settings'.

Q4 Can I receive phone calls while downloading content on the xda?

A4 You will not be able to receive phone calls while downloading content or pages from the Internet. Your incoming call will be forwarded as per your phone settings (under services). The same applies when you are synchronising your xda with your PC over the air. Note: Incoming calls will not be disrupted while you are synchronising via the cradle.

Q5 I use my xda for business and sometimes it is necessary to mute the microphone, so the caller cannot listen in. Is there an easy option to do so?
