Guest unclelimey Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Just a heads up for anyone looking to buy a QTek 8500.. I have just received mine from www.expansys.com and I am pretty pleased with it seeing as it only costs £69.95 now thats a BARGAIN. They have them in the 'stock clearance' section... Expansys Qtek 8500 link SIM FREE TOO :) Edited February 21, 2008 by unclelimey
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Especially if you WM6'd it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368715 :) P
Guest unclelimey Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Especially if you WM6'd it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368715 :) P might give it a go...
Guest awarner (MVP) Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 So tempting and they have the Samsung i320 at £119 can't justify the spend atm though.
Guest minty1978 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Mine arrived on Saturday from expansys...delivery was excellent as I only ordered friday @ 3.00pm By Saturday afternoon it was running WM6 with the help from the guys at xda-developers. Back to smartphones after my short stint away with the blackberry!!!
Guest unclelimey Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 hmm, im still running wm5... not really sure about moving to wm6 seeing as i have destinator 6 running smoothly on it, as is pocket msn and msn messenger. wm5 seems pretty stable and i think is good enough for me.... you know the old saying.. if it aint broke , dont fix it... :) im glad my post pointed you in the direction of this great bargain
Guest rameses Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Oh, I'm so tempted by this, it'd be a nice small alternative to carrying my PPC around. Though I might try flashing wm6 onto my SPVC500 (which I still really like) first.

Guest minty1978 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 yup, it is a fine phone! it runs WM6 stuningly well. Now to start modding it further.... :)
Guest Easty Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Quite excited now it's been shipped. I only bought it whilst I sit my Orange contract out... The M3100 is good but it's BIG especially as I'm not commuting and using the keyboard for emails etc. So on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard will it be to put WM6 on it without bricking it? (the phone and myself that is!) I've had a look at the link Paul posted and I suppose it seems fairly straight forward, but had to ask to gauge opinion... I had read (and it was late last night) that GPRS wasn't working on one of the ROMS? More research necessary I suppose :)
Guest unclelimey Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 talking of a wm6 flash... could someone list the advantages of 6 over 5... before i decide whether to do it or not.. thanks in advance.
Guest simon211175 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 I bought one of these at the full price of £250 when they were new - I still have it and prefer it on occasion to my HTC Touch. At this price, you can't go wrong!
Guest rameses Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 I wonder how big the discount for 5 or more is - perhaps a small group buy might be in order?
Guest jimbouk Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Express Checkout Receipt This order has been placed with eXpansys on Tuesday 26th February 2008.... snip I just couldn't help myself... The perfect backup device.
Guest rameses Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 I wonder how big the discount for 5 or more is - perhaps a small group buy might be in order? I had a spare minute so I just called 'em to find out and was told they're selling them at a loss anyway so no discount. It was worth a call though to find out. I've now just got to stop myself from hitting that 'Add to Basket' button.
Guest jimbouk Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 They've got 800 of the pink ones... for £10 less!
Guest jimbouk Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 talking of a wm6 flash... could someone list the advantages of 6 over 5... before i decide whether to do it or not.. thanks in advance. Quick answer: There's some minor tweaks to the OS but the major benefits relate to interaction with servers. Link to the pdf

Guest Confucious Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Wish you hadn't found this unclelimey. I've just ordered a pink one - I really shouldn't but at this price it's a bargain!
