this would not go down well on any building site!!!!!
glad i switched to orange on friday! lol

i allways thought my old o2 orbit was small but this is sooooooo tiny love it!!!!!

yep i know this problem as well!

tho i still seem to have a lot less memory whatever!

total storage space 84.56 mb currently 42.70 spare

and

total program space 113.07 mb and currently 23.41 spare (with you tube running in back ground)

what happened to the 192mb ram and 256mb flash that my diamond posesses?????

still it does run nicely and i dont install that much to the main memory..........

jumped ship from t mob to orange!
i have the only diamond in Kettering UK apparently!!!!! wooohooooooo!!!
sadly the orange set up cd wont work am i missing anything??????

i'm in exactly the same boat as you........ never thought i'd consider going back to the big O!!

this is quite cool,
radio works but is quite limited for the UK you can listen to sunrise radio an asian station on AM.........or the christian radio station premier.............yup thats it.
ok its a beta and shows some really great potential and the fact that it works on my O2 Orbit one is pretty impressive! tho havent managed to get any video over wifi yet...........

For me its got to be the Compact 4 rather than the diamond

1, i really dislike the back of the diamond!
2, i can get the compact for free..... WOOOO HOOO!
3, i like the rounded shape more than the corners they tend to chip.
4, hell i can re flash the rom to get rid of the awfull pink t mob display!
5, the camera lense may be better protectd than the diamonds.................. TBA

think thats all really just the asthetics....

just rung T mob to ask about my upgrade and apparently I will be able to get the compact 4 for free on my old relax 35 plan but I have to ring back in one week !
so it seems that they now have a price for it but I could not get the info out of the sales girl (kim ) unfortunately .....

Hsdpa ??? Hsupa?????? i'd be happy if i could just get bog standard 3G in Kettering (UK) if i lived in the highlands i could accept it but the flat east midlands and still no 3g coverage at home is pitifull! come on T mob i'm sure its just a blip.............................................

I dont like to bleat but i've also not received my code yet.................. ah well no such thing as a free lunch!

everything seemed to work for me.....but....... received a confirmation of order with a notification that a code would be emailed to me within 24 hours to activate the software and a link to download it.....still waiting over 24 hrs later .......

Yeah go for fugawi! its very good i have the entire uk in 1- 50000 scale maps, but make sure you get latest version! its now at least up to version 4. i think amazon are still selling version 2 so beware!!

so does this mean we can use sdhc micro sd cards??????

cheers paul a personal opinion is exactly what I was after!
and following on from your problems with dust I feel that in the contruction industry where I work as a sparky I don't think that a device that lets in dust would be suitable! so I did what I allways do and bought last years tech! the vario two.
so approximately two weeks from now the kaiser will be available! sods law works out every time! lol
thanks again paul!

Paul if you were to score a handset with marks out of 100, how would you score,

1. the touch
2. the kaiser
3. the vario 2
4. the trinity

i'll be getting one of these, but i cant make up my mind wether i'm going to wait any longer for the kaiser!

cheers paul surprised you bothered to give my post the time of day!!!!

lol:


Bugs

Hi Paul how does your trinity compare with the tytn or the kaiser?
i'm seriously considering getting one of these when my contract ends as i dont need a slide out keyboard now that i've discovered happy tapping keyboard!.
apart from sdhc capability the trinity is perfect fo me!, dont suppose your planning on getting rid of your Trinity any time soon???? ................. bare faced cheek mode on!!!
worth a try eh!

Bugs

check out this link below for the tmobile mda 3 pic.....no other new info tho!


http://msmobilenews.com/

i spoke to my local t mobile uk store today and the assistant said the touch would be out by the middle to of july, and the mda vario 3 (kaiser) would be around the same time!!!
perfect for my upgrade!!!

hmmmnnnn i wonder if the Kaiser will be more like this than the pre release kaisers that have been floating around the web....(modaco?) if so my moneys spent whatever the cost! droooollll!

had a chat with my local (kettering) branch of T Mob and a (possibly confused?) fella was saying that the vario 3 would definatley be out by august when i'm due to upgrade, tho i'm not sure if its gonna be the kaiser as he was saying it would have a 5mpix camera, gps, slide out keyboard etc.....
live in hope eh!

gotta love the guys at M$!

ok heres the story just bought a new PC running vista home premium ok looks nice...... well i thought id sync the wizard to it, went very easily vista sets up a partnership with both the wiz and the sd card great i thought!
time to sync some music, this was easy too! maybe vista has the "WOW" factor after all! so i unpluged my wiz and off to work slip on my headphones and open windows media click on albums and get the message windows cannot access your media files (or somthing like this!) so i check theyre still there yep sure enough tcpmp can still see them!!!????

whats happening is this, when vista sync's with my sd card it changes the XMEMedialibrary file in the folder MSMETADATA on the sd great if you want to use it in vista absolutely useless if you want to use it in your wiz (this may apply to all wm5 ppc/smartphones?)

Luckily the solution is simple delete the msmetadata file using file manager on your ppc (havent managed to get vista to let me do this....YET!..) then take out the card, open windows media player on your wiz and install the card, win media will then detect it and create a new and working! XMEMedialibrary file and all works great........just dont use vista's windows media player to sync media file's over, havent tried it yet but i think a straight drag and drop into the sd card from vista should work fine of course you then have to update the library within win mob media player.

hope this helps peeps

cos it took ages to get my head around it!
(ok i'm a simpleton!)

is this the tarrif??? :-
