stringofthesoul, turns out the Diamond case I bought has just been delivered, with a tenner voucher.

I've PM'd it to you

Yeap, still WM6.0.

I tried it very briefly before going to Dr Gonzo's. It generally seemed a lot more responsive. It didn't seem to pause when doing things half as much as the old ROM. Still ugly as sin though without the debrand pack.

Roll on femtocells!

I've been at the hospital a few times recently (our 3rd kid was born yesterday!) ....

Oddness
- Anyone else seeing this?

I cant find any free ways of getting this phone unlocked so am going to pay Orange for the code (£20). Once its unlocked and sim free, if I then flash it with a rom like dr gonzo's will it stay unlocked?<br /><br /><br />

I have read in multiple places that the new Windows Mobile 6.1 does not work with SKYPE? Is this true? If so anyway to work around the issue?

If not should I downgrade my OS right away when I get the TyTN II?

Does the front camera work for video calling with SKYPE? If not what does it work with?

Does the GPS work no matter what country I am in?

Anything else I should do to my phone right away to prpare it for lots of international skype usage.

Thanks

I've just had my tytnII replaced by Orange today, and am keen to load one of the new ROMs onto it. I have two newbie-ish questions which I'd greatly appreciate answers for:1. How do I choose between TLR's ROM and the official ROM? What factors should I take into consideration?

2. Will either, or both, work on my Orange-branded Kaiser? Sorry if these have been asked before, it's just that it seems that every time to ask a question on here it gets a different answer, so I'm keen to hear what peoples' thoughts are!

I use a Village Hotels gym a few times a week and they have a free WF for which they provide the username and password to members/guests. But when I try to use it I get a connection with no data transfer. Never get prompted for user/pass. Do I need to turn something on or is there a setting to tweak. Any help appreciated

Iv'e just found that on the previous rom the settings -personal - buttons- Lock tab is missing. Is it there on this release as I'm getting annoyed to find I'm about to dial or voice dial after its been off in my pocket?

Thanks, it's really frustrating - Orange are no use whatsover. This morning I was told by tech support, to take the battery out of the phone whilst it was still turned on - apparently this solves most email problems!
If you google orange smtp server and unreliable/problems it's not too hard to find many others with similar problems. However the woman at tech support claims this is the first time she's ever had anyone phone up and complain about the smtp server - apparently all my problems are because of maintenance work, if I bear with them for a few days, she's sure it'll all be sorted!
From what I've read about AOL, I can only use the AOL smtp server with an AOL email address - not an option for me.
I've discovered last night/today, that if I set the phone to GSM only when I've only got 1-2 bars of 3G reception, that I have more success sending.
Can anyone suggest anything? I'd happily take any form of improvement.
cheers

Anyone know how to turn it off?Also, anyone know how to delete one message in a conversation (or, more to the point, all but one)? Seems you can only delete a single conversation. And lastly, how can you forward a text message from somebody?

Does anyone have a link to an idiots guide to obtaining/using HardSPL? It's been a fair while since I did ROM flashes and my mind is blank.

(I'm assuming I need to run HardSPL to flash a Vario III with this)

I'm waiting for HTC to finally ship that ROM they're sitting on

Is there any interest in a retro-fit apptodate package so that when the new ROM DOES come out, you can just download it straight to your device OTA (or get the notification, then come here and grab it)?

I have a question actually...Relating to what Shadowfixeruk said, is there some awesome application that allows you to see your text messages on your PC and respond to them? So if you're around your PC you can send and receive on your PC without having to get the phone out of your pocket? (the joys of bluetooth!) Technically I could use this thing, and may just do that.. but.. just text messages would be more elegant. I use to use Floats Mobile Agent for my Sony Ericsson, doubt that works for Windows Mobile.

Errrrr, does the PPC touch unlock method work for the smartphone e650 then?
