Im on the O2 Online 200 tariff and I pay £30 a month for 200 anytime/any network minutes and 500 free texts and I also get what seems to be unlimited GPRS. If its not unlimited, its definately more than I can use each month. You also get a Nokia phone so you dont have to spend months looking for the software to make your phone functional.

eh?

yeah your right. i didn't notice that. sorry.

you can play doom on the 6600.

The word "raped" doesn't necessarily mean in a sexual way and can be used in many contexts.
eg. the rape of a beautiful stretch of countryside.

So I'd have to run an emulator in order to run it? These phones have enough trouble as it is. Why dont I just get the phone that the software was designed for in the first place. After all, it looks better, runs faster and generally does what it says it can do. Unlike any smartphone I've ever used.

Word, Excel and Powerpoint are available on any other handset. Do a search on Handango. The screen of the p800/p900 may be a bit bigger than the SPV, but the new Nokias aren't. If it can happen on a 6600, it can happen on an SPV. No problem at all. I've seen the demo version of QuickOffice premier on my mates 6600 and it works absolutely fine.

Also, none of the available MS Office editors on the Symbiam platform are made by Microsoft, so why would it be down to Microsoft to create a version for the smartphone? Surely anyone could make one?

Well there we go. The SPV has been out for two years and all you software designers seem adamant that you simply dont care about what people want to see on their smartphones. Therefore I'm going back to good old Nokia with their fast, reliable handsets and useful software thats available for them. I can hapily say that I am NEVER going to buy a Windows Powered Smartphone ever again. They are slow, poorly designed and there are absolutely no good programs available for them. The only good programs available for this phone are programs which really should have been included in the phone in the first place. These programs are only good because you have to buy them in order to make your phone function like any other modern phone. I cant wait to get my 6600. I feel stupid and raped for holding onto this phone for so long, foolishly thinking that eventually, programs will come out that make this phone worth having. I've never been so wrong.

There are spreadsheet programs available on other phones which have the same size screen...

So who's making this program? And how far off is it? Is it a money program or an Excell editor?

I assume you've all voted at the following thread?

Poll: Would you be interested in a spreadsheet editing program for Windows powered smartphones?

Does anyone know when the O2 XPhone is going to be released in the UK? Also, does anyone know of any plans to bring out a 3G videophone with the Microsoft Smartphone operating system?

Its ok I found it. The folder was IPSMWindowsAppMgrInstall in case anyone else ever has the same problem.

Hi everyone. Does anyone know where files are temporarily stored on the phone whilst installing programs? The bit just before the phone asks whether you want to install to phone or storage card? Because half way through copying a program to my phone, it ran out of space and didn't delete the half copied file and now I have absolutely no space.

Does anyone know any cheats for this game? According to this thread, it definately does have them but I cant find them anywhere. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you guys managed to get MSN Messenger working with these settings?

Is there much difference between the E200 and the O2 Xphone when it comes to video playback and recording? And with speed in general? Does anyone know if there is any difference in the hardware? Whats the CPU speed and amount of RAM for each handset? Or are they both just different names for the same handset? Does anyone know if MSN Messenger works properly on the Xphone on the O2 network?

This game looks extremely like Grand Theft Auto 1 from the screen shots.

If anyone can think of a good reason not to make a program like this I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, lets make it happen people!

Its a fully working chess game with no restrictions on how long you can play it for. Its pretty good. If you like it you can pay to register and get a few more functions like game anaylsis. Try it out.

You mean for the SPV?

The SPV has been out for a very long time and there are still no spreadsheet editing program available. I'm hoping someone will make one if we show enough interest.

I was trying to write a post from my SPV for the first time today and I noticed that if I tick the "remember password" tick box, Modaco tells me that I have entered an incorrect password. Also, once I'd finally signed on, I went to do a "quick reply" and when I submitted it, I was taken back to the enter password screen and forced to log in again and consequently had to retype my post all over again (this happened twice). Pretty annoying.

This is the program you are all wishing for:
Autopilot - Handango

Imagine how good it would be if someone made a version of this for the smartphone platform. I would pay good money. Would anyone else be interested?

I'll look forward to that then. I'm using an original SPV with ROM 1.6.1.10 on O2 with the 300 texts and 300 GPRS minutes internet tariff.
