Yeah, I get that too, but only in the touchflow programs menu

Is this your review of the phone? If it is, it tells me everything I need to know!

I must be missing something!! I don't get who's stiring up excitement in this phone?

It looks rubbish, Its buggy, and appears to lack basic features to make it a serious working phone contender. Even the iphone/ipod touch makes quite a good stab at being an Exchange mobile device (ignoring lack of cut'n'paste, not being able to send contacts etc).

I understand its a new OS and device and it needs time to mature, but they could really do with making it do something special and useful.

Maybe a Lotus Notes client

I have a question...what happes when you open text message and type 'reboot'

All looks pretty sweet to me!

The main draw for me is having it to extend the battery life of my phone when I'm away, you could spend half as much on a external battery extender, why not pay a bit more and get an external keyboard and screen too. Of couse at the price it was before I totally agree.

ooh, now thats the right sort of price.

Anyone using one of these in anger with a diamond/compact? I know its not on the supported devices list, but does it work with VGA devces ok now?

I'm a bit confused, above you say Cameraware is Free with Modcao Plus, but in there its says £10 off, which is it? I nearly parted we actual cash!

FM Radio?? Nah, bring on a DAB radio, I don't know why more phone don't include this. I've a lobster, and the dab radio works fantastically, compaired to my Diamond FM radio that struggles to find a station!

That aside, this things looks sweet! Looking forward to more choice when my contract ends in 6 months! its all good

I think I get what your saying, and I trust you cus you got a certificate!

So my next question is, does the Compact IV actually have less memory that the diamond?

For those with T-Mobile MDA Compact IV, you might be interested to know that it does fit in the Brodit Diamond mount, but its quite a tight fit, certainly won't fall out!

I'm a little concerned that it might wear the edges of the phone down, but it does slide smoothly...in a tight way

I'm not sure how this compares to the Diamond fitting in the mount. anyone?

I understand what your saying, but I'm talking about the 'Total' storage available not the free, mines increased, is this still the case?

Is your screenshot from a diamond or a compact IV? Whichever....you still got more than me.....damn you!

I've applied this to my T-Mobile MDA Compact IV, works a treat, and as a bonus I seem to have gained additional main storage memory (not the 4gb internal).

Originally, main storage was showing around 85mb-ish and now its upto 107.17mb. Is that the same as the standard Diamond??

So are brodit gonna bring one out for the T-Mobile Compact IV? I can't find one listed anywhere, and my brodit mount (car side|) is looking bare without any holder on it, am I going to have to restort to velcro!?!

Hey Paul, drag yourself into this year, its 2008 you know!

What I'd like to know... is this device really using the VGA resolution, a few year ago I had a IPAQ HX4700 which was VGA, looked great, but Windows Mobile still used the screen space the same, so I didn't really see the benefit till I installed a 3rd party app (SE_VGA I think it was called) . I've not really taken much note of the VGA stuff since then, have things moved on, and more importantly for me, will I get a full 640x480 Remote Desktop on screen at once?

I too had a call back from a T-Mobile techy. Have to give them credit for customer serives, makes me wonder why I stayed with Orange so long....anyway, he said that my issues were most likely caused by me living on the edge of the 3G coverage and to many users pulling from that ariel. Aparently the coverage shrinks the more people are using it. What's strange is the ariel is in a village about 3 miles away aparently and I,m on the edge of town closest. Maybe I shouldn't be picking up 3G.

Anyone else had any joy with this issue? I'm having exactly the same trouble at my home location, but when I go to work in Milton Keynes works flawlessly!

Currently waiting for T-mobile to get back to me.
