I-Mate SP5

[Guest Pagemakers]

Just received my iMate SP5.

I have to say it is absolutely gorgeous.

I set up wifi in about 10 seconds flat. The screen is great. The buttons are the best of any smartphone.

Quite easily puts my awful (and in my opinion it is) C550 to shame.

If you've got any questions about this phone I'd be glad to help!

As always, and yes I know i'm obsessed, but camera samples please! :o Does it record video at 176x220 or does it go higher like th C500?

Looking in the video setup menu it records at 128x96 and 176x44

It's charging at the moment so I can't post a video/camera shot right now.

Got mine a couple of hours ago. What a SUPERB device! Wi-fi is such a luxury. Lovely screen and keyboard too.

"I have to say it is absolutely gorgeous"

just ordered one based on your in debt post :o

Have to wait for fecking stock to arrive though ;(

One question, can you change from the grid menu back to the classic 2003 one ?

cheers

If you don't like it I'll buy you a case of beer!

I can't find and option to turn the grid off and pressing 0 does not go to the next page. You have to press the top left soft key.

If you used shell-orange app to keep GPRS permanently connected, this does not work either.

[Guest Pagemakers]

It would also appear that the start MRU remembers what programs you last used, even when you turn the phone off and on.

Good and bad really. Not so good if you want a specific set of programs in the MRU. I guess a simple middy tweak could fix that though :o

[Guest TigerNet]

...btw...does a case come included in the box...the K-Jam does...

Dear Pagemakers,

I'm from Greece and because i'm thinking of buying the device from expansys I would like to check if you can at the regional Settings and tell if WM2005 supports Greek language and settings by default?

If it doesn't show Greek it might say "Ελληνικά"

Thanks a lot in advance.

[Guest Pagemakers]

In the regional settings there is:

Spanish

Netherlands

Italian

Turkish

Cestina (Whatever that is)

Dutch

Greek

US English

French

Portugese

Got my SP5 yesterday morning - in my SP5 (non-m version) I have the choice of selecting Ελληνικά. Hope that's what you wanted to hear :o.

Here's a few pics I took today

Bit of an odd one..... All the favourites in IE are in alphabetical order, including the folders.

The folders no longer remain at the top. Yuk.

lol, should be safe enough, it looks sweet !!

[Guest Pondrew]

Let me join the rest of them in drooling over this. The QVGA screen is stunning, makes me almost ashamed of my MDA III!

Let me get a VGA Pocket PC Phone though, then I'll show ya! :o

Hi Page,

Have you tried this:

http://www.peterfoot.net/WindowsMobile50OldSkoolStartMenu.aspx

[Guest Pagemakers]

Pzee - link duff

[Guest gpcarreon (MVP)]

Sorry. Link edited. Kindly try copy-paste :o

[Guest Pagemakers]

Great. That works. A simple on/off menu tweak would be nice.

[Guest gpcarreon (MVP)]

Tell me, is "GridView" a DWORD value?

[Guest lagoskon]

More explanations.

The news travels fast.More Greek are interesting on SP5.But they asked me if the whole desktop changes to Greek and if there is capability of text input in Greek (T9 and not T9). Is there any chance to give it a try and even have a photo or screenshot for us to check it.

I know that it is real hard and bothering and for that I really thanks everyone for any try.

:o
