Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Hi Paul Are you able to test Tom Tom Mobile 5? Just wondering if it will work on the new phone. Also if I was to hold off getting this one what is the next C500 type phone expected to be released? Any idea of time frame? Say I was to wait another 6 months? Cheers Fozza TomTom 5 won't work on the C600 - as with the C550 - until an update is released. No idea on the next Smartphone, bizarrely, i've not heard a thing! P
Guest kalantz Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 My handset has only T9 English, French, German, Italian and Dutch. It IS the UK build tho! P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you think that French or other version may support Greek?
Guest iwilliams Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Screen looks fantastic, the fact 'the screen is close to the screen cover' if you know what I mean (unlike the C550) really makes a difference. It's definitely what impresses people most! P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cool Thanks Is the qtek 8310 the same screen and close to the window like the c600
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 multipress? 8 way stick? :D 5 way of course...! Give me your multipress tester again muff, and we'll give it a crack ;) P
Guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 The one thing I hate about my C500 is that it often takes ages to re-acquire a signal having gone out of reception (e.g. in a tunnel). Nokias and Sony Ericssons seem to handle these situations far better. Does the C600 improve on this at all? Thanks!
Guest glynton Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Why why why did orange choose not to incorporate WiFi? Any idea on upgrade costs? Does the C600 sync videos with WMP like MP3s do with an MP3 player? i.e. does it automatically choose the best quality for the device and then compress the video and transfer? (also, why does Modaco not let me sign in using MSN Premium Explorer? I have to use Internet Explorer which is annoying.)
Guest Sgt_Strider Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Can you list what the prices are for this phone with contract and no contract? Are text legible when viewing a word document? I'm assuming there is less scrolling as a result of the higher resolution? How about some pictures? ;)
Guest Tech Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 no wireless huh? oh - dont break the device already lol ok... what version of .NET compact framework is installed on the device? 1.1 or 2.0? ;)
Guest bluesmudge Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Heres one - Is it possible to plug in a external ariel into the phone? (does it still have to rubber bung you can pull out on the back of the phone) And if so is the connector the same as the c500? cheers
Guest removed-2 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Does TomTom Mobile 5 work on it?
Guest trevormuk Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Hi Paul Thanks for your earlier answers.. It has been suggested that the Wi-Fi hardware element of the C600 has simply been "disabled" for Orange... can you tell from the handset you have whether this is the case? Cheers
Guest Matt Whitfield Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Hi Paul, I didn't see any mention of it in the Flash thread, so I'm interested to know if Windows Mobile 2005 supports Flash / Flash Lite? Might be doing something at work with mobile Flash, so I would be interested to know ;-) Seems to be gaining some momentum in terms of interest even in my industry... Cheers,
Guest DomConway Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) Hi Paul Nice one for answering all these questions, it's much appreciated! I have a quick one - what's the keypad like to use, is it similar to the C500 one? I found the C550 one a nightmare to use as the keys were so small and close together, which is why I stuck with my C500. Cheers Dom Edited October 28, 2005 by DomConway
Guest tsutton Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Does TomTom Mobile 5 work on it? Look back 1 page, Paul already answered it.
Guest tsutton Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Paul, you said that any questions you can't answer will be passed to Orange. Well, I got one for you... tell Orange that they made a bad move of disabling WiFi on this phone. Make them re-consider about our needs. You can see how many people was sad to hear about it in this thread. Cheers.

I hope to have a Nokia N70 very soon, so i'll do some radio comparisons as there seems a lot of interest! P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Why why why did orange choose not to incorporate WiFi? I'll forward this one to Orange ;) Any idea on upgrade costs? Ditto! Does the C600 sync videos with WMP like MP3s do with an MP3 player? i.e. does it automatically choose the best quality for the device and then compress the video and transfer?It does, I haven't tested it on the final build but will do so at the weekend! (also, why does Modaco not let me sign in using MSN Premium Explorer? I have to use Internet Explorer which is annoying. No idea what that is... sounds like a cookie problem tho, is MSNPE blocking them? P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Can you list what the prices are for this phone with contract and no contract? Are text legible when viewing a word document? I'm assuming there is less scrolling as a result of the higher resolution? How about some pictures? ;) I'll ask Orange for prices. There is no native Word viewing on the device... so do you mean using Clearvue or something similar? P

(does it still have to rubber bung you can pull out on the back of the phone) And if so is the connector the same as the c500? cheers Rubber bung still present, connector LOOKS the same ;) P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Does TomTom Mobile 5 work on it? No, not at this time... P

The keys on the C600 are way better, perhaps not QUITE as good as the C500, but very close! P
