Guest Paul (MVP) Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 i-mate smartflip (arguably more attractive) at £59.95! http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?partner=modaco&i=132854 P
Guest rameses Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 i-mate smartflip (arguably more attractive) at £59.95! http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?partner=modaco&i=132854 P So it's the same as the QTEK8500 and is in black and a tenner cheaper than the black 8500 ? ? :) :D This is just getting too hard to resist.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 I believe so. I'm tempted too! P
Guest jimbouk Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) No sound with three different sims... So its going back. Edited February 27, 2008 by jimbouk
Guest unclelimey Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 nice find with the imate version paul.. as for flashing my phone to wm6... the main reason I would do it is for the inclusion of windows live messenger, as pocket msn seems to be a bit unstable.. luckily, earlier today I found a cab file for windows live which I installed on my wm5 qtek 8500... and it worked great. So if you are thinking of flashing to wm6 just for windows live, message me and I will gladly send on the cab file to you..
Guest unclelimey Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 No sound with three different sims... So its going back. so you can get your money back and buy the imate version instead... tenner saved!!
Guest smith2001 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 I just got my smartflip, £60 what a bargin, just sold my MTeoR which had WM6 on it for £70 so quite happy. Gonna put WM6 on this as soon as i have the chance at home. very happy. but just want the WM6 feel and functionality
Guest jimbouk Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 so you can get your money back and buy the imate version instead... tenner saved!! Thats exactly whats happening... after a few days of Expansys going a little slow on communications, a very helpful manager has arranged to collect the faulty item, credit my account and order me an imate. Did you know that they have sold out of the 1400 8500's they had on Tuesday? One customer in Hong Kong had all the remaining stock.

Guest mcwarre Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Why do I read this forum??? That's two phones in the last 2 weeks purchased :D
Guest Confucious Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 I know the feeling! Just upgraded mine to WM6 but am having problems ith my cert for my server - it's installed but says it's not valid - but it's the same one that works fine on my ameo! So I can't sync :D Other than that, it's a great phone (and there is nothing wrong with pink!)
Guest mcwarre Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) (and there is nothing wrong with pink!) Methinks you protest too loudly young (wo)man!!! :D :( Edited March 1, 2008 by mcwarre

Guest Easty Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) having problems ith my cert for my server I came across this post whilst trying to find out how to stop the green LED flashing without using 3rd party software... HowardForums Any help? Easty. EDIT: Sorry, just read the titel and thought it might help, then I read the post... no help at all! Edited March 1, 2008 by Easty
Guest Confucious Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 It turns out I had 3 certs on my server (no idea why) after installing all 3 I can now Sync. I didn't want to explain to the guys at work that I bought the Pink one coz I'm tight so I told them it's because I'm gay. One in ten men apparently are and as it isn't any of them I came to the conclusion it must be me. My g/f disagrees but now I have a Pink phone to prove it....
Guest mcwarre Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 it's because I'm gay. My g/f disagrees but now I have a Pink phone to prove it.... That explains a lot!! :D Is your girlfriend called 'Bob' - cue Blackadder comparisons.......

Three out of every four people are Chinese too, Mr Woo.
Guest Confucious Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 That would explain why I like Chinese food!
Guest rameses Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Well, it looks like my decision has been made for me. I tried to flash my C500 with a wm6 rom at the weekend and made a total arse of it, so it's now stuck in the bootloader screen. I've spent ages trying to sort it out and have now lost patience. So I'm going to get a StarTrek ! :D

So I'm going to get a StarTrek ! :D Be quick unless you like pink! http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?partner=modaco&i=132854 65 left when I ordered yesterday, 9 left as of 12.45 today. As it's an 'eu' version maybe as well spending another fiver and getting a uk mains charger rather than having to mess with a euro adapter. I'm assuming 'eu' versions come with european plugs? Anyone care to confirm? I ordered a spare anyway. http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?partner=modaco&i=135489 m.s
Guest jimbouk Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 My replacement is due tomorrow morning - I hope it comes with a UK plug!
Guest rameses Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Just order mine, (the EU version), but didn't bother ordering the adapter. I can always charge it over USB if needed.
Guest Confucious Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 I can always charge it over USB if needed. USB doesn't supply a lot of power - there are times when Mains charging is desirable.
