Guest simonbratt99 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 is it just me or is this a pain to open? The c500 back cover, shear design brilliance. I could take that off in an instant with one hand. But it never came off on its own. im no techno thicky but i had to PHONE orange to ask how to get in the back!!!! In the manual it just says, "er yea open the back and put the stuff in." I feel as if im gonn abreak it i have to squeeze so hard to open it! Saying that, hell, love the c600 phone, love the joystick 100% better than the E100 The screen is very nice. I prefer the slightly rougher feel to the plastic body. Seems faster than my c500. and to me the sounds are somehow better. Its a thumbs up from me.
Guest smcqis Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 i had that same problem myself a few times. try not to open it cos everything a do i feel like il break it. c500 was so much easier
Guest newtonmj Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 I read these posts nodding my head and smiling as I too had trouble the first time! Rarely do I ever pick up an instruction manual for a phone, and certainly not to find out how to pop the battery in!! ;) If it's of any use, the cover is secured in place by two tabs at the sides and so if you're squeezing there you'll only make life more difficult. As mentioned above, the longetivity of such a securing mechanisms remains to be seen... Mathew
Guest trevormuk Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 When I first got my C500 I wasn't convinced with the build quality of the back cover and after qite a short period of time the back became slack and would allow a little movement. I like the way the back cover of my C600 is solid and slides tightly into the phone - no movement and solid. I think it will hold better for longer than the C500 - plus there is no release button which looks better :)
Guest Philpo Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Yea i couldnt work out how to open the back cover either!! :s What a bunch of noobs we are! I reframed from calling Orange though and eventually a friend helped me out! Damn annoying when you have a new phone and all you wanna do is charge it and play with it! P
Guest Kev Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 Just purchased my brand new C600 and I'm having trouble opening the back cover. Can someone tell me where exactly do you squeeze and in which direction does the cover come off. Any help is appreciated. Kevin
Guest newtonmj Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 That's just it - you don't squeeze (the sides) because that's what's holding the cover on (about half way down each side)! The cover actually slides downwards so if anything your best bet is to press the cover against the battery and then slide it down. Don't be shy about it - a 'short sharp shock' will overcome the side tab friction that's keeping the cover on... Mathew
