Guest pierre Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) I started using TomTom 5 on my C500, and however attractive the new C550 seems to be, I would like to make sure TomTom works on it before getting one. Anyone tried already ? Edited July 20, 2005 by pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NX5 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 TT5 currently isnt working on the C550 because of the resolution differences but TomTom are apparently working on a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mavisdavis Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Dont care anymore. My C550 is boxed up ready to go back. Hopefully I'll get a M500 if failing that I'll just have to wait untill something nice comes out :) I was really hopeing that the screen res problem wouldn't bother me but it did in under 3 days. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pierre Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 I guess it'll be up to the software' makers whether to provide with an adjsuted version. I suppose major ones will be updated quite soon with a free upgrade for registered versions. I personally will wait a litlle before buying, especially knowing there will soon be the C600 with Windows Mobile 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chucky.egg Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 I cant decide what to do for the best send it back or stick with it, if the patches come along great, otherwise the phone is a bit pooh really!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Send it back You have no control over if/when "fixes" for these apps will come out. You can send your phone back now and lose nothing, or you can put up with it in the hope that all these different developers update their software These are the sorts of reasons why I didn't rush out to get one. My C500 is showing it's age, but it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Seraphic Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Are there any emulators (such as Picodrive) that currently work with the C550?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jhils1 Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) Xetra thermo works fine on my C550-its just 75% and displayed top left(no border) and the very bottom of the numbers is cut off but its still readable-They were slow to bring out a C500 version so I m sure it ll be months before we get a C550 version......
