I don't know if I can wait for your comments before I buy it, I'll try.
I'd like to know which keys it uses and if you can change them if they don't suit your phone. |

Installed, playing, just got 97% on Black Magic Woman on Easy
First thoughts... - Quite cool, control method of dpad works better than I expected at this stage - When playing, you don't seem to be 'interacting' with the song very much like you do on consoles - Easy was easy - No activation code, seemed to online activate based on my owner name More to follow!

Am i blind or why there are no specifications information?
Is it the usual JAVA-based crap? Would this run on WM6-professional device? |

I'm using it on my Kaiser. Occasional slowdown, but pretty playable.

No info on support of anything, there should at least be a demo!
Actually, wizard might be OK, the graphics are probably as quick as the Kaiser  I'll try it on a 200MHz touch I have here and let you know.

A quick heads up, when you start a song, it deletes the other ones and downloads the new one. DOH!
SO... when you finish downloading a song, quickly hit one of your soft keys to get out, run a file explorer and set the newly downloaded song file to 'read only'. It then won't get deleted, and next time you want to do it it'll be ready to go P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder.

QUOTE(everton2004 @ Apr 10 2008, 00:00) Dangnabbit! And here's me with my shiny new iPaq 614c with....yes...no D-Pad! Time to dust off the old Hermes me thinks! It recognizes the number keys as well. 1,4 or 7 for the 1st button 2,5 or 8 for the 2nd button 3,6 or 9 for the 3rd button Very handy for people with fat fingers it doesn't matter if you press any or all of the keys for the corresponding string. The only thing that is annoying me is that it will only download a couple of songs at a time. If you download a third one it deletes the first one to save space. That’s fine but if you haven’t got an unlimited data contract it’s going to be really annoying. It runs well on my HTC S730, not quite as well as the youtube clip but almost. It works well in portrait or landscape. It’s a bit too easy on the songs I’ve tried so far. I just got 97% on expert on my second go. I would still highly recommend it. I think it’s probably the best game I’ve got at the moment. |

Well the two song limit problem is easy to fix.
Once the song is downloaded use either a decent file browser like Resco Explorer or copy the song to your PC temporarily and change the properties to read only. Now you can download another two and repeat. |

Just to make things clear
- There is no touchscreen support of any kind on professional devices. - DPAD and softkeys are supported. (left, up, down, right = playing. left softkey = menu/back. right softkey/center = OK/bonus) - There is no simultaneous notes in the game, not even on Hard-difficulty Btw. Am i the only one experiencing slight audio offsync? I mean the song might even end like 20 seconds before notes stop coming. This is not always, but most of the time. |
