Guest Confucious Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Only 393 in stock at .co.uk (Have they sold over 100 allready?) but at over £100 more than the C500 it seems a tad expensive. But, if it's what you want.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zerod Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 In Italy, where I am, there is not a lot of price difference between sp3i and c500. And I don't like the "joystick" of c500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zerod Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I notice that now there is the (UK Version) on sp3i. what that means? only english language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest radiator Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I pre-ordered mine last night... Got an email this morning saying it's been shipped, so hopefully it'll arrive either tomorrow or friday... woot! (and sod the price difference, it's much nicer than the SP3/C500!)

Guest shk718 Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I notice that now there is the (UK Version) on sp3i. what that means? only english language? it means that it uses the 900,1800,1900 GSM frequencies - so if you live in the us and are on t-mobile your fine - if your on cingular/att - your outta luck (may not get as good a reception). i'm on t-mobile and just ordered one - should get it monday.

Guest yoos Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 All, Let us know how it is!! I'm one of the one's that really wants this, but will wait to hear some others feedback on how it actually is in real life use... I'd also really be curious to hear peoples input on this one vs. the C500 if they've used them both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Italy and I have an mpx200 with 900,1800,1900 so I think it's ok the UK version. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yoos Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Three questions for anyone that knows for SURE.... 1. Does this have the headset and handsfree bluetooth profiles? 2. Can you properly do voice dial through a bluetooth headset where you do NOT even have to touch the phone at all? 3. I remember rumours flying around that there is an option on the phone to change it from 900/1800/1900 to 850/1800/1900. Is this true, or are you 100% sure that this would be two different phones and the same physical phone cannot do both 850 and 900? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kunst2 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Could you tell us if the Modaco Shop SP3i comes with an EU AC adaptor when delivering in France or Germany ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shop @ MoDaCo Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Could you tell us if the Modaco Shop SP3i comes with an EU AC adaptor when delivering in France or Germany ? Thanks. They come with a UK adaptor but next week we will have an EU adaptor available to buy in the shop, thinking about it if you order the phone/s next week and you live in the EU send an email to [email protected] and we will swap the chargers over free of charge :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 1. Does this have the headset and handsfree bluetooth profiles? Unknown. 2. Can you properly do voice dial through a bluetooth headset where you do NOT even have to touch the phone at all? Yes. 3. I remember rumours flying around that there is an option on the phone to change it from 900/1800/1900 to 850/1800/1900. Is this true, or are you 100% sure that this would be two different phones and the same physical phone cannot do both 850 and 900? Lies, damn lies. The hardware is different.

Guest zerod Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hi, I ask to expansys what means UK version. they say that the only language on the Phone is English, does this mean that t9 it's only in english? If I have the file with italian t9 on my mpx200 is it possible to upload it on the sp3i and then to have the italian t9? Does it function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoos Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Thanks for the answers Paul! I have a few more questions on the shop... 1. Do you ship to the USA? If so, what is the shipping cost? 2. What is the total cost of the phone for me in the USA (i.e. not VAT)? 3. Can I just order it online at the shop as normal (I'm not sure since I don't see any mention of what people in the US should do on the website and it does say it ships to certain countries, but the USA isn't in that list)? 4. Does this phone come with a USA power adapter/lead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wardy Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hi Zerod, Look here for USA http://www.expansys-usa.com/product.asp?co...ode=I-MATE_SP3I Do you know if its SDIO complient and if it is can a WIFI card be used ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Wardy - isn't the SP3i the same format as the C500 in that it uses MiniSd cards not full size ones and even if it did the fact that they are hidden behind the battery and there are no drivers for Smartphone WiFi would preclude the use of a WiFi card IIRC.
