QUOTE(rameses @ Feb 26 2008, 15:40) I had a spare minute so I just called 'em to find out and was told they're selling them at a loss anyway so no discount. It was worth a call though to find out. I've now just got to stop myself from hitting that 'Add to Basket' button. thanks dude... im so pleased with this phone... im thinking of getting another one as a spare.... -------------------- |

Wish you hadn't found this unclelimey. I've just ordered a pink one - I really shouldn't but at this price it's a bargain!

QUOTE(Paul (MVP) @ Feb 27 2008, 12:26) So it's the same as the QTEK8500 and is in black and a tenner cheaper than the black 8500 ? ?   This is just getting too hard to resist. |

nice find with the imate version paul..
as for flashing my phone to wm6... the main reason I would do it is for the inclusion of windows live messenger, as pocket msn seems to be a bit unstable.. luckily, earlier today I found a cab file for windows live which I installed on my wm5 qtek 8500... and it worked great. So if you are thinking of flashing to wm6 just for windows live, message me and I will gladly send on the cab file to you.. -------------------- |

Thats exactly whats happening... after a few days of Expansys going a little slow on communications, a very helpful manager has arranged to collect the faulty item, credit my account and order me an imate. Did you know that they have sold out of the 1400 8500's they had on Tuesday?

I know the feeling!
Just upgraded mine to WM6 but am having problems ith my cert for my server - it's installed but says it's not valid - but it's the same one that works fine on my ameo! So I can't sync  Other than that, it's a great phone (and there is nothing wrong with pink!) -------------------- He who asks a question looks foolish for 5 minutes.
