Well i've now had my spv for 2 days and ive discovered that contrary to what ive read on the orange / microsoft sites that it :

1/ can only handle 1 email account
2/ cannot be configured for aol instant messaging
3/ only comes with a usb cradle - i only have serial
4/ is a mystery to most orange staff when it comes to setup
5/ has bugger all games / software available for it  :roll:

Appart from that i'm very pleased with it.. for the money i think its quite a nifty little phone although not a patch on my old 9210 in many respects.  I only hope that orange and m/s can get their thumbs out of where the sun dont shine soon and resolve many of the problems ive been reading about here... i bet the symbian folks are having a right good laugh at us 'suckers' at the moment.

Great site by the way Paul, keep up the good work..

Well, i'm not sure anyone ever said you would be able to use AIM. I would be suprised if someone didn't release a multi format messenger for SP2002 tho (subject to software certification problems etc!).

You are in the minority I'm afraid. Treat yourself to a £10 USB PCI card!

Yep. Altho, there is a dedicated SPV support team. Ask for them!

It is early days! Having said that tho, I have the following additional software installed on mine already (full versions):

Slurp
Tennis Addict
Casino
Interstellar Flames
ListPro
GPRS Counter
Dockware Pro

Not too bad for a PHONE that has only been out just over a week!

2.did you pay to play???
3.Can you D/Load them to P.C & sync???--if so>>

Great phone,but mine seems very slow i try to leave me memory half full..
the lag on the key press/buffer is very slow on my phone, you have the same problem??
will fixes fix this (excuse the use of english!!) or is it a internal phone memory problem..>??>
& why do orange/microsoft say "keep at least half the memory card empty" does the phones OS system use it for cacheing etc????
& if so would a larger sd card speed up the functonality?
cheers for knowledge>>>>

That's how you install them!

I think this is called software piracy!

I install everything to SD. Do you mean when inputting in IE? If so, clear the history, and all will be quick again!

????  if I lend a friend of say a playstaion game for 1 week and then take it back is that piracy????   or what about when you have finished all levels can you sell it @ a reduced rate??????
& can u put the game on the phone more than once   so you can say  swap over games add and delete at your own leisure?????

People on NT are kind of screwed!

[PaulOBrien]

Not really!

I am stuck with Windows NT in the office, and have just installed bSquare USB NT driver, and Activesync USB works like a dream!

Amazing!
