Seems to work very well indeed, excellent work!

I have another bug with my Diamond. Sometimes the backlight fails to turn off which obviously really kills the battery life. Yet to discover why it's doing this.

My Diamond gets quite toasty when charging but it's not the battery that gets warm but the area around the USB socket.

As for charging issues I've not had any trouble with USB cables on the PC but I've not been able to charge the Diamond with an in-car charger despite using a few different ones.

Cool, and HP recommends Vista Home Premium - that'd be cool on the 614!

Sounded like a good idea until I read the small print. Basicaly by submitting a game you sign it over to them totally, including it's IP and they can then do whatever they want with it and win or lose they get to keep it!

Guessed that was the case but thought I'd ask a leading question.

Nice one Paul. Question though - is there a way to hard reset the WM6 side of the SHIFT and if so does the liberation survive?

Write that software - I'd buy a license!

Guys, hope you take this as constructive feedback, I'm in no way trying to knock what you are doing here, the podcast is a cool idea.

However, I know you are relatively new to all this but do you think you could try and avoid all the 'erm' and 'er's while you are talking? Once you notice them it gets to be a little irritating.

I'm sure you'll improve as time goes by and you become more relaxed and natural in your delivery so please do keep up the good work!

Oh and FYI, I was just like this when I started the unbox videos and do you know how hard it is to consciously NOT say something!?

Slow to start up? Really? Mine runs like it's on speed!

There is a slightly easier way to do this. First make the usb key bootable then copy the i386 folder and all its contents from the WindowsXP CD to the usb key. Boot the Eee from the USB key and when you get to the dos prompt type cd i386 so it looks like this E:\I386 replacing E with the drive letter of your usb. Next type winnt.exe hit enter xp should then start to install.

is there no way of fudging XP so that it doesn't classify the SD card as a removable storage card ?

Always in one take and most of the time I havent seen the stuff until the video. Some say it's dirty but it's my raw style!

I can go one step better than pictures if you want to check out an unbox video?

And yes there is a half decent case included.

Got mine this morning but I wasn't there to play with it until this afternoon!

How about seeing who gets the RETAIL TyTN II first!?

I've got some info. on the G900 if you are interested? http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index....ge_g900_unboxed

More like the 'My First Phone' theme. So many people complain about it, even new users.

What ports does Skype mobile use? If it's the same as the destop version then it's Port 80, in which case Skype can't be port blocked without blocking out all HTTP traffic!

Hi all, for those of you that were wondering what the HTC Advantage is like or keen to know what accessories you get, I have recorded another unboxing video. You can find the post here: http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index....e_x7500_unboxed

Let me know what you think!

Matt

Yup, that's the default out-the-box hamescreen theme. It's pretty good although I would like to see the ability to customise it.

Hi guys. Have only had my i600 for a few days but loving it! So far no dust issues but guess it's early days!

Thought I would mention my i600 videos. Pretty much my first attempt at video blogging/reviewing so let me know what you think!

The first is an unboxing video and the second is another look the OS and installed apps.

They are probably of more interest to those of you considering the device than those that own it.

Paul,

Been a contributor on the HTC WiKi for a while so happy to help where I can. Conent areas I can think of: Smartphone and PPC, Operators, Data Standards, Manufacturers, Operators, glossary and Operating Systems.

Dont get me wrong, I agree, we are all friends and there is enough traffic to go round but it's good we all have a common goal. Power to the people I say!

Also got an offer of an M700 from one of our readers and from another company that we deal with. Nice to see the community rise to the challenge.

I know we (Paul, Leigh, Marc and Me) kinda compete sometimes but it's great when we can come together on something like this!
