Guest jaknife2000 Posted February 4, 2003 Report Posted February 4, 2003 For the chap that was after a car charger, if you goto www.bornsloppy.co.uk there is a link on there for accessories. There is a guy on ebay that sells, a USB / powercable, that you use a usb to car charger. I bought one, £16 i payed for it, got here like next day too, and works lovely, you can sync at work without the need for the cradle or charger, and then plug the end in and charge it in the car superb little thing. Apparently the pin outs are the same as the O2 XDA, so its used for that, but works fine on the SPV too. I hope this helps.
Guest jaknife2000 Posted February 4, 2003 Report Posted February 4, 2003 There are several worky type things i would like to see on the SPV. 1. A Infrared printer driver. What with the advent of things like mboden's notbad, i would like to be able to print them off directly from the phone, i have a HP Jornada 680, and it has a very basic HP IR driver. Even if when it was connected to a PC via USB cable, you could send the print to the default PC's printer would be useful. You could print notes, tasks etc. Rather than syncing then printing, what if i am not using my own PC to print ?, i dont wanna have to setup the active sync every time. 2. A copy and paste text facility, i have read other users ask for the same thing, and it would be really useful. 3. Obviously a keyboard, but i think that is already being worked on. 4. A dos prompt type application, then i could use commands like telnet, or ping, via a PC's usb port for network tracing etc. 5. The voice recorder, as good an idea as it is, why can't i record a voice note, and have it play back when i set a reminder in tasks, or calender. You know, if i am walking around on a customers site, i wanna take a note sure, but when i get back i want to be able to hear the note in my tasks. So its either add note to an existing task, or save a voice, and send to the tasks screen. 6. Obviously photo id, i think everyone wants that, what with the promise of it on the Sonyericsson P800. WE WANT IT TOO !!! 7. An Excel / Word viewer, there is a powerpoint viewer thing that comes with the phone, but why haven't MS sorted that out yet ? a Smartphone of the PocketWord, PocketExcel Apps. After all, they gave us PocketOutlook, why not the others ? Especially if Orange are trying to market the phone as a business tool, why not proper business apps ? I am sure there are more useful apps, i just need to remember what i wanted before, so there will be more to follow. The game / emulators things are pretty cool and i like them, but i am more of an apps user / liker myself.
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 4, 2003 Report Posted February 4, 2003 Out of interst, where have everybody got the idea that the SPV has replaceable covers from?
Guest SirGaz Posted February 4, 2003 Report Posted February 4, 2003 I can remember reading something on the net a long time ago (Oct - Nov last year) that the SPV had removeable covers. I've never seen anything from Orange though, and no-one at any of the shops I've been to has said that it does. I guess people just assumed it did as most other do.
