Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 It works fine as a normal phone, and you have to sign up as part of the MS developers forum to oder (although i don't think there are any prerequisites). Just bear in mind it's a pre-production reference design, and expect thebugs that come with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CodeSmith Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 mo7881, I purchased the Dev Kit from Microsoft last month. Monolithix is correct, I slipped the SIM card from my t-Mobile phone into it and adjusted the network to the US band..(defaults to Europe). Worked great. However, I still find myself using my T-Mobile PPCPE everyday so if you are still looking for a dev kit phone and extras I am parting with mine at a better price than retail ;) . Let me know if you are interested...if not, then to ebay I go.... CodeSmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest urdone311 Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 codesmith- how much does M$ charge for a dev kit? And how much would you sell yours for? (yours is the Compal, right?) thanks! -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
