I rang Orange yesterday... the best they could tell me was *sometime in November*.

Bleh!

Anyone?

I have just installed the Paragon Russian-English dictionary on my C500 from here and the Cyrillic keyboard functionality (also Paragon) from here.


However, I have now lost my English T9 dictionary.

My only message options are now English, Russian, Greek or 123. (See attached image).

Anyone got any tips for restoring T9 while leaving the new options in place?

Cheers

Good man

Fix that contacts malarkey and I'll be happy

scar45 - any update?

Feedback:

I have found that after a few days, my UAC backgrounds and start / shut down images have disappeared :cry:

Also, it wont uninstall (I just want to re-install it, thats all).

EDIT: I managed to re-install over the top of the first installation - the pics have returned, but the white background / white highlight bar in contacts is a bit of a pain...

Otherwise, this is sweet.

A re-boot fixed this for me...

Nice theme - I'm a big fan of Doom 3...

Cheers.

I like it...

And furthermore, the pages all seem to loading faster than they used to...

Nice one...



(I seem to have lost 100 or so posts from my count though - not that this matters...AND I seem to have picked up an extra star )

No..the 79.99 upgrade fee is charged at the shop - the 100.00 will be on the next bill.

The receipt from the shop confirms it - it shows 79.99 followed by -79.99.

I triple checked by asking the Orange dude, just to be sure... 8)

EDIT: sorry, I misread this slightly - 79.99 is the handset cost - the 100.00 is the upgrade fee.

£320.00 now.

I had my C500 for a week now and had no problems with MMS until yesterday, when I received 2 errors indicating that the message (s) had not been sent.

A glitch in the matrix, no doubt...

C500 does nice sepia, if you like that olden-days look... :wink:

This looks really good on my black C500.

Now, wheres that WMP skin? 8)

Nice job midnight.

Am in my local at the moment having a quiet stella and all i can say is WOW. This phone is fantastic compared to the e200.

Posted from my C500 SmartPhone!

I used the app OTA unlock last night.

The first two times, I got a message stating that my IMIE was incorrect - however it wasnt.

After reading something by vector here, I fired up PIE and left GPRS on.

The third time after inputting my details and proceeding, the page on my PC just hung.

I walked away, but when I returned I had a message on the phone stating that it was now application unlocked. Funny really, given that the browser on my PC was still stuck on the name, IMIE etc details page at the OTA site.

Very hit and miss, I think.

:?:

Some good news!

I dont know what is more consistent - Oranges provison of information or my bowel movements. Chances are its the latter.

After talking with O yesterday and today I was told on 3 separate occasions that it would cost me £179.99 to upgrade to the C500 (see above).

After a bit of thinking and detective work which only lead to dead ends, I decided to bite the bullet and pay the full cost.

I went back to the same store today and requested the upgrade. However, when the chap got off the phone he told me that the £79.99 charge would NOT be included (in his words "there's no upgrade charge") and that all I was liable for was £100.00

It just goes to show that yes, you can get something your way if you kick up a big enough stink, but also getting a good result can depend on your timing, who you speak to and perhaps what mood they are in.

The C500 is charging now...cant wait to start playing with it.

Cheers

Thanks squall.

I will certainly be trying to get this sorted this week - before I head off to Aussie for 3 weeks in mid September.

Cheers.

mcwarre...

Cheers me old mate - behaving yourself I trust?

See my edited post above mate :?

Carphone Warehouse have just quoted me £69.99 to upgrade to the C500 with no mention of a fresh 12 month contract.

And they will allow me to trad in my E200 for £35.00.


Surely not.

:?:

EDIT: Surely not indeed - I just phoned them and they stated that the existing contract would need to be bought out, making a grand total of 169.00 - shame this was not detailed on the website.

Back to the drawing board.

Thanks mate...I'll keep this in mind.

Thanks Ashley.

I will try and bend a few more ears over the next couple of days and see how I get on.

My E200 is rubbish - it always has been - hence my disenchantment manifesting itself in a long absence from Modaco...

I'll get a C500 one way or the other... (fingers crossed)

Cheers

Thanks Rik.



You sure about this? O told me that a new 12 month contract was mandatory and that I would have to buy out the remaining time on my current one.

Or am I reading this wrong?

Cheers.

I am 8 months into another 12 month contract with Orange and have decided that I want to get rid of my rubbishy E200 and upgrade to the C500.

I visited my local Orange shop today and they informed me that not only would I have to buy out the rest of my existing contract (which I expected) but that I would also have to pay an upgrade fee of 79.00 - making a total to upgrade of £179.99.

This is a bit too expensive.

I rang the upgrades people at 150 who said that there was nothing that could be done. I have just rung retentions, but they are closed on Sundays.

I really dont want to leave Orange but at the same time do not want to have to wait until FEB next year to start a fresh 12 month contract.

Is there anything I can do? I WILL leave Orange if necessary.

Any advice anyone?

Cheers

I saw this on the Gadget Show, on TV last night.

Impressive.
