When Windows Smartphone and the original SPV was launched on Orange UK, there was an official video stream of the launch event (I remember watching it!) ... shame this isn't the case this time round.

T'Orange

Have you bridged the connections? if so, unbridge them

Am liking the colour, but think that the price is a bit steep - for that price I'd want someone fitting the new case for me!

Yeah, for that price you could get an Asus EeePC

Yeah, bitlocker is a definate for new machine, along with chaining to something when i'm out. The laptop had options for what went in the 2nd drive slot (I had floppy drive, DVDR, and another HD) none of them were in the machine, so they're not gonna find it as easy to reinstall windows as they hoped!

Am slowing discovering what else they have taken... My TyTn was lying around, in the box for my new TyTn II ... they'll think they have lovely shiney new phone til they open the box and find an old one which has been dropped many times! What also went was a Fossil watch, which was leaving present from my last job :-(

Nope

Yup, had very cute CSI girlie come round the next morning to do fingerprints and take photos and samples of stuff.

Yeah, i figured they'd try and flog it on and not go looking for anything that is hard to find. They ignored so much of the other tech in my home that I know they aren't computer experts. Police reckoned it would have been nicked for drugs money. Have checked ebay, will be down to cash converters next just in case. (5 laptops got nicked from work a few days ago too)

I had my house broken into last night whilst at work. Amongst the things taken was my laptop (running vista ultimate) I am wondering how is Vista's security at locking stuff away - i.e. without my login password for windows, how accessible is my documents etc? Everything was backed up nightly, and they didn't take the backup drives, so not so much stuff lost, more thinking about all the stuff on there that was my personal files, and some business stuff from various jobs over the years.

Sounds like it is time for a hard reset

I doubt very much that WM phones would have the userbase it does today, and sites like Modaco would probably not exist if WM had been a closed system. Back in the Canary days you pretty much relied on tweaks, hacks and 3rd party apps. (I wasn't aiming to make "tweaks, hacks and 3rd party apps." sound lyrical!)

Wow brings back so many memories! I remember the excitement of watching the product launch online, and the joy of walking into the orange store i newcastle and buying one, along with the DVD player offer. If only Orange still did the unlimited data for £6.50 a month, or whatever it was!

Maybe the names of the ROMs would be safer than direct links to legally questionable exe files???
