Guest alexknight Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 I'm 21 - spent 2 years after 6th form workin for a health sector software company in leeds (worked on the installation and project managment side of things) learnt a lot about secure networks for the NHS and other networking crap. Recently gone back to University to study Business Computing and am loving it to bits. Got the SPV mainly cos it looked fairly swish and would allow me to listen to Mp3's and browse the web in lectures both of which it does with great style!! It even allows me t use some of my new skills from my course to design homescreens and other things. How did i ever get by with one of those awful nokia things for so long - i have to say my SPv has had very few of the problems listed on here (touch wood) and those i have had i can live with even if orange don't sort it out with updates. Microsoft didn't make phone, but if they did they would probably be the best phones in the world!!! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spanky Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 So just how many people are there that own an SPV and aren't linked to IT and the Web on some way or another..? I'm a Business Analyst for the UK's largest web-based mortgage and credit card broker. Kinda half-techie, half-normal... :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based at a Finnish Mobile Phone company in Cambridgeshire!

Guest SteveT Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 I'm over 50 and a non-graduate, so don't really fit in here do I! However i do work in IT as Release Manager for a software company in South Wales, so maybe that's OK. My wife and I both have SPVs and apart from the freezing, not being set-up by Orange, and the "normal" problems that others are having, are happy with the beasts. I have found hat the supplied ring tones are much too quiet (especially when the phone is in wife's handbag) so have downloaded a louder tone.

Guest jmechan Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 My name's Jon, and I'm and alcoholic. Not really. I'm 25, just married, and work in IT Support for a US investment bank in london. So I guess I fall into the 20-something IT pro catagory too. But I guess I can partially escape that...I am a dance teacher in my spare time, and own and run a business to promote and support it. I've had my SPV since christmas eve, and haven't had any problems with it really. It's a hellova lot better than my old T68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Treadsoftly Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Posted before, but as a non-techie - here I am. A psychologist.

Guest AsherUK Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 I design (and build) interactive electronics for the lesuire industry... mostly games and controls for childrens play areas. If it moo's, flashes or plays a very annoying repetitive tune then it could of been made by me. I'm not, however, responsible for the cow and chicken sound units commonly found by the eggs and milk in some supermarkets, although I do make that type of thing, my cow actually sounds like a cow ! (I get my mother to record the sound effects !!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest benzo Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 What am I? I'm a monster... Actually, I'm a molecular biologist with a fascination for all things that require a processor of some sort. I guess it stems from my speak & spell days "Now spell Moun-ten" M-O-U-N-T-A-N-E "That is incorrect" Ahh, those were the days. Bring back the muppet show as well- sunday at 6pm. Life was so simple.

Guest dculbert Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 I'm a Commercial Manager. Constructiony type stuff - mainly contracts. Any T&C disputes - send em over :D BTW - Can I just say a huge thanks to everyone involved in making this forum happen. I think there are a great many people who owe all of you/us a massive debt of thanks for keeping our SPV's just about on life support. One question....how do turn it on again?
