I have a c600, and i have it set up to bluetooth over activesync so I can use it for the internet and activesync around the house. For some reason, today, whenever I have used the internet in PIE over activesync (bluetooth or usb), the page loads, but I get the message "The current connection cannot be used for your request. Please end the current connection and try again." I do not get this message when viewing pages over GPRS, however I cannot log into MSN messenger, I get a "temporary unavailability" message. I just dont know what I can do? =S Its really confusing me, i've not installed anything, or changed any settings, and it was working fine yesterday.

Yes, there is more software for WM2003SE at the moment. But bare in mind, new software is being developed for WM5, you will be left out with a Blue Angel. You may find that you will prefer to use WiFi than EvDo, could be fairly expensive if you exceed limits.

But the biggest problem is certainly the new applications are going to be for WM5, and most 2003se apps will work with wm5.

Yeah. I can imagine with the smaller cards and big fingers Yeah, but changing cards helps carriers. For example - Orange retail memory cards to people who choose not to pick them up cheeply from MobyMemory. Or perhaps HTC are evil people who want to see people spend money? I can't see size issues. The card readers in the devices aren't massively different in size.

I'm gonna have a little hunt around, will let you know how it goes.

Hey Mate try these sites:

http://www.coolsmartphone.com/index.php?op...11&Itemid=3 - For the SMS and Outlook thing.

AND

I guess it's possible with some registry tweaking, get PHM Reg Editor www.phm.lu and have a look about. Or somebody who knows could help?

The t-mobile website is not very informative, try ringing them up. They do carry wm5 handsets.

Meh, being cheap I just wanna see a free one.

Because ofcourse HTC devices are already amoungst the most power hungry. No, the reason they change memory cards is to keep the memory card market growing. I cant see a huge difference especially in pocket pcs of putting a sd/minisd/microsd in. Its very annoying agreed but its all about money.

I feel that my c600 battery life isn't that great. I charged it up to 100% last night, by this morning it was on 79%, i had no background applications running, nothing. The phone is not set to connect to the internet for any reason. I can't understand it, compared to the c500, this phone's battery is highly unpredictable, it drops 20% in 8 hours of standby time on 5 bars of signal and then other times it goes 8 hours without dropping any percentage.

It also seems that the battery runs down more when idle than when I use it =\ Very weird. Any explanations?

I might charge it up to 100% and leave it to see if it even comes close to 6 days standby. Any other ways I can benchmark it against other people's?

Can anyone comment on their battery life?

Update: I charged my battery up at around 2PM, I have only used it for a 2 min phone call, its down to 86% =\

Well, the second and third changes went well and the battery's performance is now a lot better than it was. Thanks all!

Thanks Peekie. Just gotta wait for their reply now. Im expecting it Monday or Tuesday.

I ended up there also, however it was worked out that the only ways to do it is through the registry, which doesnt work after the AKU2 update for the c600. The over the air unlock doesnt work anymore, so it seems that the last resort was to email developers@orange.com/

So once I run this thing from Orange, I will be able to like install wm5torage? Because I currently can't do this, and the unlocking solution that thread suggested is patches on the AKU2 rom update on my c600.

Ive emailed Orange Developers to get my c600 unlocked as after the AKU2 update it doesnt let you do it through registry entries. I want to know, when I get the app they send me, i've read that it only 'partially' unlocks the phone. What else do I need to do when I get it?

Hey, I got my c600, ran it straight from the box as the green light lit up minutes after I plugged it in. I've always done this with the HTC devices. Since then i've charged it up to full once. Today it got down to 9% and I needed to take it out in an hours time, so I turned it off and put it on charge. 20 minutes later I turned it on and it was up at 47%. Is this normal? I have noticed the battery has drained a little too quick for my liking but i've put this down to it being in its first few charge cycles.

Humn. Unusual =\ Typical Microsoft. Turn it off and on again. * rolls eyes *

I was under the impression Orange did not have an Edge network? eh? Do they? Last time I heard they were trialing it. Not sure of its progress.

Lovely device when shut. When opened (as said earlier) there could be a lot less going on either side of the screen. The keypad also seems a little bland. However its a breakthrough for Windows Mobile Devices.

Its about time we have some desirable devices people buy not just because the OS is outstanding, but because the device is too.

Oh good. What was the solution? It could be helpful for other users?

I have just put a brand new 512mb minisd in my c500. I am having the same 'issue', I can see battery life is reduced, but only when im running applications that are installed on the card. Battery life is fine when I have no applications from the card open.

Humn. I believe it could be Orange reception in your area. Correct me if i'm wrong somebody, but both the devices have the same GPRS class, so they should run the same.

Perhaps its the device speed? It may take longer for the data to be processed on the c600.

Apparently from 7PM onwards it goes through to Newcastle. During the day it's india; according to the guy who I rang. I just hope they retain the one in Newcastle.

Yes, as said, essentially all this device offers that the more attractive c600 does not is faster data. Not worth an upgrade. Unless 3g is crucial I would still say buy a c600, its lighter, smaller, more attractive.

However, remember when we first got 3g on 'normal phones', they were big and chunky, but they seem to have this under control now. For the first 3g WM Orange & HTC didnt do that bad. WiFi would have sold this device for me, WiFi and video calling.

Rang orange last night, suprised to hear that it was in stock, and I could upgrade free even though my contract isn't up yet =D Very pleasing. Shame about their Indian call centres though, they will certainly lose a lot of business if they take it all over to India. Seen it happen with BT and the service is appalling, if I wanted to read the FAQ i would do, I dont want somebody who I cant understand to read it back to me.

Honestly, they move a call centre to 'reduce costs' make it sound like the customer benefits, when actually they just make more money, we pay the same prices even though we have inferior customer service. It's quite the problem for consumers today =\
