I'm using norton anti virus software. i have auto update. how do i make sure i'm protected from the doom virus.


Run LiveUpdate from the Norton homescreen and turn on incoming email scanning from Options > Email.

This will clean any incoming emails of the Mydoom virus.

Yeah, there was a very very small lag in my conversations but otherwise it kicked phone-quality ass.

Hi guys,

I've just got off the phone to Orange.  The offer is NOT actually £5 of free calls.  It is not very clear on the text that you receive from them about this.  Apparently you will be charged for the reply text (eg Yes) and then this will give 20% OFF CALLS TO EUROPE ONLY. :!:  :!:  :!:  It is not really free calls but that you buying a discount token that can save you UP TO £5 on European calls.  That's what the guy from Orange CS said.  He said anybody who has said yes mistakenly can reverse their deicsion calling Orange and saying that they misunderstood and don't want to be part of the Scheme - this is as long as you having used it yet.  To quote orange man, "

sounds like a bit of scam to me

"...Erm :roll:

Anyone heard anything different from Orange CS (well you know how it changes with each call you make to them...)


Sounds like a load of garbage that a CS rep invented to look clever.

If Orange had done this they would be struck down by the ASA/ICSTIS almost instantly - both organisations have become very severe on misleading advertisements involving SMS messages.

"Text XXX for £5 of free calls to friends and family abroad" cannot be perceived in any other light, it can only mean that you receive "£5 of free calls to friends and family abroad" - any meaning along the lines of "£5 free if you spend £25 to selected European countries" is obviously and intentionally misleading...

You might also want to try the Orange Executive Office on 0870 870 0862. It depends on who you get through to as to whether or not they will be willing to take your complaint...

Firaas,
Is Orange really the 'manufacturer' though? The reason I ask is because my understanding is that some of the other carriers will be using the same device, just as the E100 (i.e. Qtek).


Orange has been and always will be perceived as the "manufacturer" by the press and by Joe Bloggs whilst they call the phone the Orange SPV.

Not sure about symbian, but think its C++ again.
Standard out-of-the-box Symbian supports C++, but you can use the Appforge booster to program Visual Basic - this booster needs to be installed on the device though, and the programming addon for VB costs $900 :shock:

And last qstn; is there a way to upgrade my phone (i-mate, same with spv) to winCE 4.1 or later? is it related with processor also?


There isn't a way to upgrade SPV-equivalents to CE 4.2 (Windows Mobile 2003) at the moment.

OK so we all know that HTC make the SPV - so what?!?  Orange brand it, Orange sell it, to the public it is the Orange SPV/E100/E200.

You buy an Ipaq and it goes tits up - do Compaq/HP say 'sorry, nothing to do with us, send it to HTC'?  (I don't know about now but certainly not 2 years ago).


The problem with a one-off signature device is that Orange haven't really done it before with a complicated phone.

In my opinion this means that Orange is assuming that a product produced by an unknown manufacturer in Taiwan will be as good (if not better) than a branded product, like a Nokia or Motorola.

What they don't seem to have realised is that if they assume this, and don't do the extra required testing and QA, that it severely damages their reputation and abillity to release a signature device in the future. If a Nokia 7250 has a handset-wide flaw, Orange can pass the buck onto Nokia and the press can bitch about Nokia - but your critical journalist isn't going to go out of his way to blame a small company in Taiwan instead of the "manufacturer" Orange.

I personally think Microsoft should have a more active role in the testing of the ROMs and handsets. When smaller manufacturers release MS products, they are more likely to sell them as "HTC Microsoft Smartphone" than as "HTC X". People have faith in Microsoft, but this faith is likely to be damaged by HTC's inability to release properly finished phones - you are more likely to perceive a Motorola as a Motorola and an SPV as a Microsoft SP.

Both ways Microsoft & Orange lose out 'cos HTC seems to have cocked up...

Got my e200 today, but can't figure the new email account system out. I have 2 email accounts in outlook on my pc. 1, my main and default account is checked when I send and receive. The 2nd account is an old accound of mine that gets spammed to death, so I only check that account once or twice a day. Seems the phone setup email itself when I sync'ed for the first time, and is now checking both of my email accounts. I don't want it to. I get so much spam on the old account. I just want to check my main account. However I can't find either account on the phone. I can set up a new one, but can't even see the settings it got from my pc to delete them.


Are you sure it actually physically checks the account via a GPRS send/receive?

It may have synced with your Outlook inbox when you Activesync'ed.

To stop this, delete all the emails from your phone, then go to Activesync > Tools > Options, and tick off Inbox under "Desktop".

The applications are:

CodeWallet Pro
Dockware
Ewallet
Pocket Slideshow
Rebound
Power Tasks
Listpro

AFAIK most of the decent apps on there are trials.

The Easysync release notes specify that Windows Mobile 2002 is supported, but this product precedes 2003.  Is this likely to be the issue?


Certain applications which worked with Smartphone 2002 don't with WM2003.

There are several changes to 2003, one is the naming of the directories - "IPSM" has been changed to "Storage", and these relatively trivial changes may affect the usage of certain applications.

I'm waiting for Orange to get back to me with an unlock code - they charge £20 but you have to pay your contract in advance first.

I got the E200 on Friday - they didn't know that they would be getting stock on Wednesday until late on Tuesday evening, and it was still not a guaranteed date.

OSPS don't offer car kits on the SPV range - I know they claim to do theoretically, but none have been dispatched and they claim this is because one doesn't exist.

AFAIK it isn't possible to remap the action key to another key.

I know that it was possible in SP2002 to change the action of the voice memo key, but that was only to launch an application other than voice memos - not to change the key it triggered.

Yeah, the E200 is locked but you can't unlock it for free at the moment.

Still waiting for Orange to get back to me with an unlock code - they charge £20 but you have to pay your contract in advance first.

Bluetooth enabled gaming will not be possible with Kumite? So "bluetooth enabled game with nice graphics" - is a vaporware. It will not be released.


I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but there is really no need to be pedantic and flame people over this.

I, and I would guess a lot of other people on this board, couldn't care less whether or not you were right - the postponing is for reasons beyond midnight's control, and there really is no point sitting here crying over an issue which isn't actually that important.

The topic's called "Orange scupper Smartphone gamers with the E200" - not "JPZR was right".

If somebode writes "indefinitely postponed for the E200 device" so then it means that it is postponed FOR EVER (indefinitely).  I also asked: what headsets ? And got no answer ! Could you please be clear about things?
"Indefinitely postponed" means it has been postponed with no precise limit.

Indefinite doesn't mean forever :roll:

By other handsets it means everything except the E200, duh..

haba haba haba, and when I said once that Kumite is a vaporware because no trial version is available but just a bunch of pictures, then nobody believed me and I was scorned! And now see who was right!!! Ha!


Dude, do you purposely attempt to get your ass kicked by anyone and everyone as often as possible?

That comment was out of order, read the damn line you quoted - it says "for the E200". And stop being so bloomin' arrogant.

What service do they use to send the phones? I would've thought Royal Mail Special Delivery, but mine was sent yesterday, yet the Royal Mail track and trace thing says it will be delivered before midday monday!! Special Delivery is guaranteed next day and they deliver on saturdays so what's going on?


Royal Mail Special Delivery isn't guaranteed on Saturday's, only Monday to Friday - although 90% of Saturday Special Delivery items are delivered on time.

Posted from my SmartPhone!


The program you download to register your SPV with www.developers.orange.com so you can unlock it.

You get an option to download it if your IMEI number is not recognised.

I'm getting a really annoying buzzing noise in the background when someone speaks down the phone - best demonstrated by a call to 150.

It sounds like the vibration of something caused by the speaker, and is difficult to describe.

Am I the only one?

By the way Action Register, the application from the Orange Developer site doesn't work on the E200.

It attempts to launch Action Lock then dies painfully....

The site doesn't recognise my IMEI number. Damn thing.

Very good question! I would also be very interested in this.... I am on T-Mobile and the reception of my SPV is DEFINITELY WORSE then the Samsung I used to use on T-Mobile.


Well, based upon my first impressions, having had the phone for about an hour, the signal seems great.

I've had full signal all the time within the house compare to 2-3 bars of 5 on my T39 on T-Mobile at the same time - but then my SPV was as good.

Call quality is as good as the SPV.

My girlfriend recently had a problem with hers she is on Orange Care but she was given the number of the manufacturer and told to ring up and sort out a repair herself, not only that but as she was claiming on Orange Care she would have to pay some of the repair cost. She was also told that she wouldn’t know the cost until the repairs were done. I would have thought that being on Orange Care and paying £5 a month she would have got a better service?

You shouldn’t have to pay for any fault that occurs within a year of purchasing the phone. I am not 100% but I am sure that is the case with all electrical goods. If you didn’t have Orange Care you wouldn’t have to pay so it seems strange that because you have it you have to pay a charge. Perhaps that is because you are claiming it on the ‘insurance’ and not the warranty.


You shouldn't have to pay for any of the repair costs - you're entitled under contract for free repairs for the duration of your insurance agreement. Dunno what Orange have been going on about :?
