Orange SPV C500

[Guest dadgey]

Hi there,

I'm thinking about getting a Orange SPV C500. All I need to know is it possible to set the phone to download email from a pop3 mailbox automatically or does it require manual intervention to do this ?

I want to have the phone check my inbox say every hour for new messages, currently on my Nokia I have to actually instigate a "send and recieve" for it collect and send email.

Is this the same with the SPV C500 ?

Cheers

:D On the C500 you can set the POP-3 email to search at various intervals up to once a day. It also has a wizard to automatically install your email settings for you and it all works wonderfully!

You mention "upto" once a day I presume thats the lowest poll time, whats the highest , ten minutes or something ?

Does it come through like a text message and how much of the email do you see, sorry about this i'm a real novice when it comes to email on phones ! I really like this phone and think it will be better for me in the long run than a Blackberry as I don't have a exchange mailbox just POP3.

During the email setup (and in the account settings once you have configured) you can set the account to download emails in several ways:

1. What to download:

Today's Messages

Last 3 days of email

Last 5 days of email

Last 7 days of email

Last 30 days of email

All Messages

2. How much to Download

Header only

Entire message

First 500 bytes

First 1000 bytes

First 5000 bytes

If you select anything other than 'Entire Message', you are provided with a link in each email to 'Download entire message'. Doing this immediately connects to the server an downloads the message for you to view.

3. Connect automatically and check for messages:

Never

Every fifteen minutes

Every half hour

Every hour

Every two hours

Every six hours

Once a day

When you receive a message, you are alerted in a similar way to receiving a text (SMS) message. The sound in also configurable.

Hope this helps.

Thats great thats just what I need to know ! I'm also looking at a S700 Sony Ericson on Vodafone, I know you can get email on this, any comments or views on this one ?

While undoubtedly the Sony Ericsson S700 is a good phone I think the you will find the C500 Smartphone a far more sophisticated unit in all areas. It takes more time to get your head around than a standard phone but it is sure worth it. I love mine and have had no problems and I'm sure I am not the only one around. :D

Hi,

I went ahead today and took out a new contract with Orange this is the first time i've had a personal phone with them before. I've been with Vodafone for the last few years. One thing which is plaguing me almost straight away is that the space on text messages is on the # key and not the 0 key as with the Nokia's i've always used.

I tried to use the contacts wizard to copy across the info from my old phone but it kept coming up phone error. Do you know of anyway of transferring these easily as it will take me forever to re-enter all my contacts.

Why am I unable to attach video messages to my sms messages one of the most basic of features with any phone these days ?

Also any other handy tips for using the phone ?

Cheers

I think the easiest way to transfer your contacts is via infra red beam( which on the C500 is also bluetooth). I'm not sure about the video attachment in MMS as I have never used this. You will have to post a new separate question for this.

Are your contacts on your pc in outlook? If so, just sync the C500 with your PC. Always worthwhile doing this as your pc then acts as a backup for your contacts.

They aren't no, I can do a backup through Nokia PC Suite, but is there a way then to get them onto the C500.
