Aboslutely stunning last couple of laps with Kimi and Lewis both spinning at times and Massa tiptoing along scared to death of the track getting greasier and greasier!

From what McLaren have said, they have the telemetary (and obviously the TV camera footage) showing that after cutting the corner and taking the lead, Lewis (having already been screwed for it in a previous race) came off the accelorator and gave the place back to Kimi, thus crossing the line behind him and settling in in his tow. If that's the case, they will win their appeal.
He didn't cause Kimi's crash, and i think the stewards were just upset that Kimi crashed so took it out on Lewis.
Ok we might be bias brits shouting Lewis's cause, but i wouldn't care what nationality the driver was, Ferrari have got away with too much and it is one of the reasons why so many people stop watching the F1.
Give me the Moto GP 9/10 times!

I am not sure it will know all of the settings Ian.
There are plenty of links to the orange settings and other networks so its just a matter of running a cab file to reinstate them.

Let me know how you got on, just got a replacement E650 from orange after a smashed scream and am tempted to play with WM6.1 but i'm a complete noob on rom flashing....

Just noticed...

it states 10 months 1/2 price on the 12 month deal and 16 months on the 18 month deal... a change in the offer or some typos somewhere?

is it just mean that is missing the "add word" feature on the t9 predictive text dictionary or did orange / ms omit the feature deliberately?!

maybe i got lucky... my battery seems pretty good. better almost than my c600.
the c600 could go 3 days with use... an hour or 2 of calls and 50+ texts per day... bluetooth on constantly
the e650 seems capable of matching that, and even with having the wi-fi on during much of the day...

Nigel,

unless it is a feature that just doesnt work, you can configure the headset profile to do the usual tricks in the profiles menu. you can tell it to vibrate when in headset mod, ring then vibrate or ring and vibrate to your liking...

I foound a helpful Orange CS operative...

He works out of the Plymouth branch. - he even used to use this site when he used an SPV.

after finally getting my fault c600 booked for replacement, he asked me if i wanted to upgrade.
yes i said, SPV E650 please...
let me check availability. - we will be shipping them in April, but no confirmed date - give us a ring in the first week and we should know more.

thats about the best we're gonna get for release of the Vox i think!

as soon as orange annouce its available i'll be placing the call for 1 and changing my current tariff...
unless they force me with ridiculous freebies i'll still be looking for a 12m contract not 18m like they seem to like pushing to ppl.

£309.99 is a standard price. HTC expect sales of it for around the £300 mark so an extra £10 markup before its available is nothing strange.

April could be a good release, as long at its not the 1st!

i think 2 software firewalls is a bit over kill...
but back to the question...

have you disabled Windows firewall?
if not they you need to allow activesync through that.

does it fail at the same stage of sync-ing everytime?
where does it fail? - contacts? calendar? tasks?

missed the game but heard the "brawl" as it happened on the radio...

Toure over reacted to a petty foul by Mikel - both should have been booked and got on with it.

the ref and his assistants did the correct thing once the fracas had been broken up, but i do feel sorry for Adebayor as it was not he who should have been shown the red, but Eboue.
What the hell were Wenger and Mourihno doing on the pitch?

As for the punishments afterwards...
1 - Both managers should be banned from the touchlines for the rest of the season, in all UK competitions.
2 - Adebayor should have his red card rescinded, but handed a yellow for his failure to leave the pitch.
3 - Eboue should receive the red card (incorrectly given to Adebayor) and be banned for a minimum of 3 matches for striking an opponent, and possibly another 3 matches because of cowardly doing it from behind!
4 - Toure and Obi Mikel's red cards should both stand.
5 - any members of either side who claims it was ok because it was emotion and passion boiling over or coming to the surface should be fined 3 months wages as this "reasoning" does not justify te actions of ANYBODY on the pitch on sunday afternoon.
6 - credit should be concidered as nobody (as yet) has claimed that the Terry-Diarby incident was malicious... it was just a freak accident of the game and i was glad to see JT back on the team coach by 7 - out of hospital with nothing more than a cracking headache and a sore jaw. THAT is passion... the fact that JT went for the ball with no fear, to try to get an advantage for Chelski...


After such a compleling game of football (or so all reports omitting the incident have said) it was a shame that the day was spoiled by this unnecessary display of foolishness...

Well done to Chelsea for winning the Cup.
Well done to the Arsenal young players for such a spirited and entertaining display (at least for the first 50 minutes).
Well done to the Ref and his assistants for handling the situation when it arose - especially after such a high quality of officiating during the earlier 93 minutes.

thats my views..

try binary's smartphone task manager.
Binary's Task Manager

they would like you to register for $4.99, so about £2.50 - £3.00. but if i remember rightly you can use it without registering.
