Also a long time Orange customer, I rang them and told retentions Tmobile were offering 700 mins unlimited text and unlimited (1GB) data and they matched it plus added free insurance (I was paying £6pcm) for the princely sum of £22.50pcm Then paid £80 for HD on my card.

No nothing I can see, it is mercifully void of any orange logos, themes, links or ROM tweaks etc. as the man said it has an Orange logo on the back and that's it.

Current device: Orange SPV M700 aka HTC Trinity running WM 6.1 with TouchFLO. 8GB micro SD with mini SD adapter

To tell the truth my M700 has been with me now for 2 years and it still holds it own with most other touch screen devices, especially now I've installed the latest TouchFLO ROM on to it.

I cannot believe the iPhone doesnt work with any sat nav programs! Whats the point of GPS? My M700 has been running tomtom 6 for the past couple of years, I couldnt live without it.

Next device: Touch HD. What can I say, its out on Orange, I'm due an upgrade, I could use the additional processing and the bigger screen will be nice.

MP3: Zune 80 (I'm not a big apple fan)

I recently upgraded my laptop from Vista Home Premium to Business and now my M700 (flashed with Bepe's WM6 Rom) will not sync with it. It will connect via bluetooth or USB however upon connection the laptop tries to install a device driver, fails and then gives the message:

"The class installer has denied the request to install or upgrade this device"

I am pretty much without a clue as to how to solve this issue so any help would be appreciated.

I am using Bepe's WM6 Rom minus TOMTOM and have found it a massive improvement on WM5 re: speed, memory etc...

yeah screen arrived and thanks to the great guide posted by Robbied and the specialist screwdriver that came with the screen was a breeze to fit.

once you have applied the bass fix the M700 is a great audio player. I use mine with TCPMP which although cant deal with video has no problem with audio and is far superior to windows media player.

Doh, just got it... bit slow sorry

Is that expensive? I was quoted £130 odd quid by Orange. Also I didn't think that me smashing my screen would be covered by warranty. Is it?
Thanks for the guide, very helpful.

Sure, I got it from ebay... although it hasn't arrived yet!

I have recently cracked the screen of my M700 so I went online and brought a replacement. I am wondering if someone with experience replacing screens could tell me if this is a difficult job I should not bother attempting or if it is fairly straight forward.

Mine went for 215 on ebay That was about the average for ones being sold via bid...

You know what I think you are right, Nice as my unlocked, black, HTC TyTN is its just too bulky. What do you think is a fair price to ask for an unused, boxed one?

I have a general question, I have recently been sent a TyTN to replace my broken C600 however while I was waiting for my TyTN Orange upgraded me to an M700 so I now own both phones and am at a loss as to which is better. I love the GPS on the M700 however the keyboard and flash on the TyTN are appealing, please give your opinions and advice here and help me decide which to keep!

Personally I must say that Tom Tom plus the built in GPS of the M700 are seriously pulling me although the white body and lack of keyboard sway me in the other direction...

Hey shadmonk,

I have tom tom on my M700 and it had no voices, if you go to settings and then to tom tom + services I think its called you will find an option that says download voices, click on that and pick Jane and you can download here for free.

Yes but I am pretty sure that the C550/8300 OS has an upper limit to the size of memory card it can handle and I was wondering if there were any technical specs or someone I could ask to confirm exactly what the C600/8310 memory handling ability is? Hempo mentions in this thread that the 8310 can handle 4Gb but I only have his word for it!

Can anyone give me a definative answer as to whether the Qtek 8310 is able to support a 4Gb mini SD card. The reson I ask is that I read this article and it seems clear that the 8300 cannot so I am reluctant to shell out £95 for a card that my 8310 cannot fully utilise.

Thanks.

music mainly plus team america world police and a shed load of photos, some of which were taken with a 7 mp camera, oh yeah and 5 books, 2 emulators and 15 roms. So any 4gb news anyone?

Any News on the 4Gb Card yet? My 2Gb card is almost full

Can anyone tell me why when trying this fix on my Qtec 8310 the reg editor is telling me Access deinied?

Just worked it out if anyone is interested, they are a reflection of your my documents folder on your phone not your storage card! Weird or useful which everyway you want to look at it!

No I meant WMA because I have found it easy to use WM encoder to make teeny tiny audio files for use as ringtones. I only asked because on putting a wma file in to Application Data/Sounds it didn't turn up in sounds... it has now though so thanks. I love that it will now play off of the SD card, fantastic! However I have found that the audio files need to be free floating in your my docs folder on the SD card in order to work, if you put them in a folder they disappear from the sounds list??!!

As for Q3 I was hoping people might just list one or two programs they know dont work, as a guide!

Anyway thanks for the info!!!
