Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Cool, not too bad for 9.99? Would make a great Plus benefit, hehehe... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrankyG Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Cool, not too bad for 9.99? Would make a great Plus benefit, hehehe... P Indeed. It's cool, but it would be nice if there were some features added that you could use in the event that you DIDN'T lose your phone!! I guess the £9.99 is paying for peace of mind in some ways. re Modaco Plus - did you ever get the dedicated proxy server up and running Paul? Is it possible to stream mobile Youtube videos when using the Proxy? (PM me if this goes OT!) Cheers, FrankyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tsutton Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 The software from Sprite looks good... I wonder how much it will cost when it's released - hopefully freeware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked the sprite website for upgrades and its done on purchase date so im asuming if your purchase is less than a year old your elegible for the upgrade when its available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Daemonicus Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Tried the software from Sprite and sometimes it just doesn't work! <_< I prefer the WIMP application as it seems alot more stable and dependable.

Ive given sprite software the feedback with your fix for the url, so hopefully they will amend the text reply sent to add the -, ive also tried it with the - and the + in the coordinates and that works with the same result although the + by itself doesnt work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Daemonicus Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 They've released an Addon for W.I.M.P. which allows you to view the location on Virtual Earth Mobile - on your phone.

Guest the_ape Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Worth mentioning as well, is that if you use Exchange Push, then you can already wipe the device, and the storage card remotly if the device is stolen/lost..... GPS obviously cant be done via that, so get GPS from whichever app you like (I use Mobile Justice, but hey), then wipe the contents of the user areas with Exchange.
