You can swivel it out of the way, you know

Has anyone been able to play AAC audio files on their C550?

This is, litterally, the only reason I'm going to be returning mine. If there hasn't been any progress by monday, it's going back.

BT & IR beam are accessed in the same way, you just need to have BT turned on before beaming.

I'm still really miffed at the blatant lies with regards to AAC playback.

Unless somehting happens to fix it, it'll be going back to them on friday.

My mistake

so many names and numbers flying about, it's hard to keep up

not through contacts, but you can using the photo contacts app.

That's what we get for being early adopters, I'm afraid.

There's a list of confirmed working/not working apps, and what not, in the main section. Take a peek, and add what you've found with these programs.

I've not used the sync feature much, mostly because I'm an iTunes guy.

The first time I tried it, it aborted, like it has been for you. The second time I tried, it hung WMP. After a reboot of the C550, it aborted again. That's when I gave up.

I'll direct you to the slew of posts comparing the two pysically. They're not that hard to find.

From what I've read, the Universal (the C600) isn't much bigger than a Magician.

erm, you wouldn't actually be removing the battery should be able to sit like that for weeks.

slide the back off, then back on. it will stay off until you hit the power button.

The webstore it pretty low priority for Orange, you'll always get a faster turnaround by phoning them up.

I'm another one that went for the CoolSmartphone linked offer, ordered tuesday afternoon, minutes after it was put up. Arrived this morning.

It swivels out of the way

AAC + WMP = "A registry entry is corrupt"

Interesting.

Like I said above, AS will let you copy the .zip file to the phone.

you can use activesync to move the zip file across, then unzip on the phone. (Wouldn't let me move the .exe across)

Worked like a charm

The way people have been doing it is by installing anything that you need while using WiFi on either phone memory or if the WiFi card (if it has memory). Everything else goes on the normal SD card.

Nice one

First thing I'll do when my c550 arrives tomorrow.

I ordered at about 5pm yesterday from the CoolSmartPhone affiliate. With any luck it'll be posted this afternoon.

There's a thread on this in the magician forum, if you search you'll find it

bah! here you go, scroll down to my post.

ver 2.02 has been released with magician support about to try it out.

[edit] Nice bit of software, but it's painfully slow - getting about 500Kb/s compared to the 8-9Mb/s of my card reader.

Just buy it It's great

Nothing to do with that Mitch, it's all about money. Why give their customers a free upgrade when they can make you buy the latest product?

The answer is no, i'm afraid. It took me two minutes to find this information on the Orange website - same goes for the Jam/M500/compact/mini/S100/whatever-you-want-to-call-it.

AT LONG LAST!!!!!!!

I'm finally happy with the contacts app

It's PAC, the C stands for Code (Porting Authorisation Code, or some such)

And, no, you don't... T-Mobile will let you port a number to them at any point in your contract (I had to wait 2 months for my Orange contract to come to term).


As for the question of "grinding" whilst keeping you number:
You'll first have to end your current contract by asking for you porting code (if it's not hit term you'll have to pay up the remainder of your line rental. I recommend stripping your contract down to talk30 with no extras, then calling up to cancel);
Buy a PAYG on another network using the PAC (Virgin, O2, whoever);
Then, call them up and get a PAC from them;
Then you're ready to go back to your old network, PAC in hand, and set up a new contract (taking advantage of whatever offers they're doing at the time).
