..Ran Hard SPL first
..Ran the above ROM update

All working fine, it auto-detected i was on Orange and offered to set the correct network settings for me.
I've reconnected it to my exchange server and all seems to be working fine so far :-)

i'm tempted to do it, but might have to wait till after lunchtime so that I've had a beer for courage :-)

If it turns into a paperweight, is there any way to recover it?

will this work on an Orange (UK) TyTNII?

..I've joined popfly - user "h3mp"..

sounds a cool idea..

nice

Paul - Absolutely Brilliant - thanks dude

I now not only have a phone that works acceptably (unlike the way you receive it from Orange!), my TomTom is now working again (only just noticed last time i needed to use it that the device code had changed, v0.5 of your software fixes it perfectly).

I suspect mine might have done the same if i'd first installed my original maps rather than my newer European ones

well to answer myself now my 650 has turned up ...

I copied across TomTom 5.200 & maps of western europe on to my new MicroSD card,
tried to activate it using www.ttcode.com which accepted my new device code and gave me an authorization number which failed!!

then e-mailed TomTom for their help, and provided proof of upgrade (due to my C600 breaking) - and they are nothing but awkward; they take forever to respond, then need more and more evidence that what i'm doing is kosher even though i provided proof of the new phone in my 1st email along with my own serial numbers etc, and my copy of tomtom and maps are definitely legit as they are linked to the email address I'm using in their system (were bought through their website & registered with them..)

anyhow, after another 48 hours of them ignoring me, I've found that if I install my original GB map that came with tomtom as opposed to my upgraded GB map, then the activation code from ttcode.com now works, then switching back to upgraded maps suddenly works also!! - I'm glad it's all working, but tomtom's customer service is awful, i can see why so many people don't bother to obtain this software legitimately!!!

anyhow, tomtom 5.2 works just great.. - if you slide the keyboard out, the screen does not change to landscape, and the keyboard works for some letters, but some letters appear as numbers, so I'll ignore the slide out keyboard for this application, it works just great they way i used to use it on the C600...

I made this a while back: http://www.wintwit.co.uk/

it works, it does the job, it could do better

let me know of anything you want changed - i'm a n000b when it comes to C# .Net but I'm getting there gradually...
will probably do a new windows mobile 6 version next now that my SPV E650 has turned up

just got my E650, installed our exchange server certificate,
went to sync everything, but the "mail format" option is greyed out, and i only get text based email
i thought wm6 was supposed to support nice HTML mail - any ideas how to turn this option on, do you have to have exchange 20007 rather than 2003????

Great - thanks paul

I've currently got an SPV C600 running TomTom 5.200,

does this verion of tomtom work fine on the 650? - are there any issues moving it over? - i guess i'll have to get tomtom to issue me a new unlock code..

what happens to tomtom if you slide the keyboard out? - does it change to landscape?

does the newer tomtom 6 work on this phone?

found somebody doing a smartphone podcast application:

very "alpha" at the moment (crashed a couple of times) - but this has loads of potential..

mentioned here: http://www.msmobiles.com/news.php/3486.html

got my tomtom mobile today for my SPV C500....

BT receiver is: "Model TomTom Wireless GPS (9821x )"
(SiRF XTrac chipset)

i tried it today with mapopolis - works fine when set to Com7 4800baud....

ok, now i've got my SPV c500 and a large mini-SD card i'd like to find some podcasting software - is any available for the smartphone?

If not, my usuall RSS reader will auto-download enclosures and put them in a folder and generate a playlist of my choice, but still need some software that will auto-copy the mp3's to the Smartphone when Activesync runs??????

hmmm, just tried this on your advice and my PC re-set!! (you sure the pin-out is the same? the affect i saw would suggest i just pulled down the 5v (probably to ground!))

http://www.handnav.co.uk/phone_select.php
select qtek
select 8010

cool, just ordered mine in the UK for my puma from http://www.handnav.co.uk/
was £29.99 inc VAT for clip and holder.
(only listed as qtek 8010 rather than spv c500 at the moment..)

since a couple of days ago, it's been playing up again (since i changed my "silent" profile a little) - still waiting to hear back from mobilok at the moment :-(
This software all worked fine until I payed for it :oops:

e200..
where is yours failing exactly?

mine stopped working when i upgraded from 1.01 to 1.02 and registered at the same time...
the fault seemed to be that the Cell ID's were not updating properly.
doing a uninstall - reboot - install of v1.03 fixes :-)

It's fixed - handango and smartphone.net now have version 1.01 which changes profile when the handset is locked

just saw episode 23
can't wait for next week....
