Yes its the rapidshare link in wiki, its really simple, i was also really afraid of turning my phone into a brick, first u install the modem givin with XXGD1, then u turn off ur phone and plug it in, ( make sure u turned off ActiveSync (CTRL+ALT+DEL, then kill WCESCOMM.EXE process)) then u open the uploader, turn on ur phone in downloader mode ( power+RSK+other RSK) once the phone is ready, click start!
For the WM6, just follw panateo's instructions and i think all the links are for the same file, but i installed it without a prob whatsoever |

Just downloaded and installed WM6 office - can view and edit .doc .ppt .xls (tried only word so far) Why it was excluded from Samsung update? not for it's size, I'm sure... it's only 6mb !
Readme file says it was stripped from original WM6 installation and works on WM5 also. Search for it in torrentspy.com. BTW I've installed it not even knowing my phone was locked, worked like a charm |

QUOTE(j1m3 @ Aug 4 2007, 17:03) could someone please try installing the skype smartphone 2.2 beta and make a call? cheers jim Skype 2.2 no longer supports voice calls on i600: http://support.skype.com/index.php?_a=know...obile%3C%2Fa%3E which is not surprising given the miserable performance previous beta had on i600 when you tried to use voice calls. (At least for me and a friend, it always ended up completely crashing/freezing each of the devices, and only removing battery helped.) So there is not much point to even try installing it. OTOH, Fring (www.fring.com) looks promising, give it a go... It's much improved over the previous beta, although the strangest "feature" has not been fixed yet (audio output on the i600 is via the speakerphone on the back only, not through the main speaker/earpiece).

That was an amazing summary.
the other option is simply to wait a few weeks for your country flag to be active on the samsung website. I imagine Samsung are controlling the demand on their servers. I personally will wait for the UK flag. My phone works perfectly at the moment and the improvement in html email and pims in the only bit I look forward too.
