Guest toshi Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Ok, so I've got an Imate SP5 because I couldn't wait for the QTEK v1240 to come out on Vodafone. Yet despite it basically being the same phone, Vodafone have told me that I can't use the Vodafone Business Push email service on it because my SP5 doesn't come with the Vodafone ROM on it. Only the v1240 has the correct software on it...!! There must be some way to get the right ROM update on my SP5, so that I can use Vodafone push email?? please anyone??? tosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacerace Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I have the v1240 - I haven't seen any Vodafone specific apps anywhere on it... Did they say what it was on their ROM that was required ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toshi Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 no, there aren't any extra apps on it, its just the ROM is compatible with the app. when u subscribe to the voda push email service they send the push email app remotely over the network top the phone. to subscribe to vodafone push email, it costs and extra £15 a month in addition to your standard line rental charge. problem with my SP5 is that when they send me the push app it says my phone is not supported! arghh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacerace Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 that's a shame. I presume you have to forward your email to the Vodafone 'push' account where it then gets forwarded to your phone ? you could get a hosted Exchange service for about £49 / year which would give you what you want.

Guest spacerace Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Can anyone else with the v1240 tell me where MSN Messenger is ? I can't see it anywhere.... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spacerace Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 That's what I suspected. Guess Vodafone had it removed for some reason. Can it be added back as a standalone app. or have I got to find something 3rd party ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Should be in PocketMSN now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacerace Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 No PocketMSN on the Vodafone model. That I remember anyway. I've sent it back now but I looked hard for it, there was no MSN type stuff at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Strange how occasionally Windows Mobile 5 devices are being released without Pocket MSN and so no MSN Messenger... The HTC Universal on T-Mobile, the MDA Pro, was the first. Stranger still as all T-Mobile's WM5 devices since HAVE included Pocket MSN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacerace Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Vodafone had some stuff included to help their push email solution. It's possible they needed to save some space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spiderboy Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I am leaving Orange very shortly and don't know wheather to Join Vodafone or T-Mobile. Any advice from the board? Who has the best phones and service? I do like the Asus P505 from Vodafone, would this be good option to go for? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whitestar Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) Got my V1240 yesterday, found that it comes with a ClearVue Suite CD.

Guest vardhanr Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I was unable to install it (ClearVue). My 1240 said that there was not enough memory. (only other things installed were Outlook items (Calendar and Contacts) Be interested to hear how you managed to install it. I suspect you will see the app when there is a document to view?

Guest whitestar Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Contacted Westtek Support asking if they had a solution to the problem for the V1240 and they have replied saying that they are aware of the problem and are working to resolve it. In the meantime they have suggested that I download a trial copy from their website and have supplied a serial number to activate it. Have to say I'm very impressed with their rapid response.

Guest JOEJOETHEJOEY Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Has anyone managed to get WiFi working properly on this then? Is it possible to use Skype with it? Isn't there any way to install MSN Messenger on it? Would be a shame to have WiFi function but not be able to have applications like that installed. Btw, how much did you guys have to pay? My upgrade date is near on Vodafone (i'm on a £30 a month tariff). Would it be possible to get a free upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodafone told me there was a min. upgrade fee of £100 for this phone when I took it 3 weeks ago. That and the compulsory 18 month contract made me decide against it in the end and return the phone. I imagine that fee will reduce/disappear with time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the iMate SP5 from Expansys sim free... well I got my company to pay for it so I can develop on it. Dont know if you can get an upgrade, I suggest you call Voda's Customer Services... hth Pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you actually have one which came with it or are you referring to the i-mate? Just because the i-mate came with Messenger doesn't mean Vodafone's version has it...
