i know you said that you have to buy via the net... but get a ferry over to england and head to an orange shop.. they sell the white and black versions for 150pounds.. i got a white one and unlocked it... sweet !

look out for them on the 'bay coming soon then !

so you can get your money back and buy the imate version instead... tenner saved!!

nice find with the imate version paul..

as for flashing my phone to wm6... the main reason I would do it is for the inclusion of windows live messenger, as pocket msn seems to be a bit unstable.. luckily, earlier today I found a cab file for windows live which I installed on my wm5 qtek 8500... and it worked great.

So if you are thinking of flashing to wm6 just for windows live, message me and I will gladly send on the cab file to you..

Too hard to resist

thanks dude...

im so pleased with this phone... im thinking of getting another one as a spare....

talking of a wm6 flash... could someone list the advantages of 6 over 5... before i decide whether to do it or not..

thanks in advance.

im really pleased with it... runs really smoothly.

hmm, im still running wm5... not really sure about moving to wm6 seeing as i have destinator 6 running smoothly on it, as is pocket msn and msn messenger. wm5 seems pretty stable and i think is good enough for me.... you know the old saying.. if it aint broke , dont fix it...

im glad my post pointed you in the direction of this great bargain

might give it a go...

Just a heads up for anyone looking to buy a QTek 8500.. I have just received mine from www.expansys.com and I am pretty pleased with it seeing as it only costs £69.95 now thats a BARGAIN.

They have them in the 'stock clearance' section...

SIM FREE TOO

welcome to the revolution !

it tells me that the wii and ps3 were not for you, but that doesnt mean it isnt for someone else... i love my 360, i play it pretty much every day (to my wife's dismay ) but im really impressed with the ps3 too, im really enjoying it (especially seeing as i didnt know i was getting one for xmas - it was a complete suprise ) .. i like the fact i now have plenty of choice..... if a games comes out which is exclusive to one system, it wont be a problem for me


granted the wii is fairly limited, its no fun on your own, but when my mates come over the wii really comes into its own... but i can see why people would get bored of it quickly... although when nintendo get around to the wii 2 (if there will be such a thing) then lets hope it had the power to match the other systems and they get the 'online' thing right too.. that would make it a pretty awesome system to have.... i just cant bring myself to sell my wii though, not with mario kart coming in the spring ... hooo yah

Santa brought me a Playstation 3 for xmas... it looks lovely sat next to my 360 and Wii.... Call of Duty 4 is so great on 360 , I decided to get it for PS3 as well.. so now im playing Multiplayer COD4 with both xbox gamers and Playstation gamers... happy joy joy

gears is great... as is cod 4

halo 3, call of duty 2,3,4 , timeshift, gears of war, battlefield 2 modern combat, PGR3 and 4, perfect dark, bioshock, the darkness, test drive unlimited, medal of honour airborne, shadowrun, crackdown, transformers, the orange box, virtua tennis 3, top spin tennis 2, rockstar table tennis....

yup all very Rubbish...

and before you say anything about avatar... my 6 year old nephew loves playing it when he comes over.

maybe i should get a wrestling game (ahem cough cough).... or maybe rubbish like blacksite, kane and lynch, hour of victory or maybe the teenage turtles or fight night (really easy to get 1000 pts on these two) point being, i may like getting points, but i dont go out of my way to buy rubbish games just for points.... 1000 on call of duty 4 is a fine example as is my rank on battlefield 2 (cant wait for battlefield bad company)

Cod 4.. nuff said !

hi,

I posted on page one of this thread way back in Feb 2006...

Just to let you know im still very much 'on live' and lately can be found in the Multiplayer COD 4 halls.....

Feel free to add me to your Friends List.... just remember that despite the gamerscore, im only here for some fun, i dont take it too seriously..


Maf (UncleLimey)

um....... i guess you can class me as one of those !

had a touch, then upgraded to the touch dual on orange.... bloody love it, great handset. now i can text whilst driving.. ooops (*not recommended hehe )

luckily i had already installed spb pocket plus, i did what you said and assigned a hardware button to turn screen off, and it works, wifi stays on with the screen off... thanks for your help...

with any luck someone will come up with a registry fix for this in the future for people who dont have pocket plus.

thanks for the response, i guess i will have to learn to live with it, trouble is, i use wifi at work and use it to connect to messenger all day, but in order to save battery i wanna turn the light off, the only way to do this is to hit the standby button, but by hitting the standby button it shuts off wifi... hmm what a dilemna

HI,
Just purchased a shiny new SPV M700 yesterday, i have had an M500 and M600 so I'm pretty familiar this type of PPC... but i have struck a problem with it... i have tried all the settings to do with backlight options, but cannot seem to get the light to turn off

With it set to turn off after ten seconds, it hits ten seconds and just dims slightly then stays dim unless i press the standby button to turn the screen off completely... is this supposed to happen? or am i going mad.

i have installed a few progs on it... virtual pool, agile messenger, msn messenger, mini golf 3, imate backgammon, worms world party... but i doubt these could cause it??

please help... maybe there is something i can change in the registry?


thanks in advance
