Guest Frankish Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 It's easy. White or grey work the same except grey could have OLED or TFT screen. The white is always TFT. OLED screen is better. The white has a hard shell wheras the grey is slightly rubbery and the coating is coming off mine already!

Only One Tiny Thing With Mine, Down Volume Key Is Very Squeaky Compared To The Up Button, But It's Not A Massive Problem Really :unsure:

Guest cbrpaul Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 so white has a better finish then !! I was just reading here about the screenlock freezes :unsure: , is this a BIG problem with the SF ? A few have had to return them to argos faulty too, :angry: Now i dont know what to do, ?? B)
Guest jamidodger1 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Correct Me If I'm Wrong But Isn't It Only On TFT's And On Specific Rom's?
Guest Frankish Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 so white has a better finish then !! I was just reading here about the screenlock freezes :unsure: , is this a BIG problem with the SF ? A few have had to return them to argos faulty too, :angry: Now i dont know what to do, ?? B) Only an issue with custom 2.2 roms. We should get a newer dump soon from official chinese release blade which means a newer kernel and hopefully a fix. I only get maybe 1 freeze a week. White has a nice glossy finish, just keep it clean lol.
Guest cbrpaul Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) thx guys for the replies, so i could for now ( until the chinese official release) unlock it , and debrand it , without changing the rom easy enough , and for free ? , and should not get the freezes ?

Guest jamidodger1 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Yes You Can For Free And You Shouldn't Get Them.
Guest cbrpaul Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Yes You Can For Free And You Shouldn't Get Them. thx :unsure: One other thing, build quality ? whats it like compared to say Nokia or SE ?
Guest heavyduty00 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 i recommend a youtube video at first since I had no idea what to do at the start lol and im only 16 with no experience with android.
Guest jamidodger1 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Well You get what you pay for, Yes I've had a problem of the back cover not fitting properly but a bit of bending fix'd that, But Everything Else is very sleek and I Think it's better than My Nokia 5230.
Guest jamidodger1 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 i recommend a youtube video at first since I had no idea what to do at the start lol and im only 16 with no experience with android. Yeah I've only had a play on a mates android phone but it looked very complex until you get one for yourself and use it and then you get used to it like anything new Really.
Guest cbrpaul Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) well i bought a nice new shiny blade today :unsure: just unlocked it and placed bladevillain on , Had abit of trouble with the XP drivers beleive it or not , but once I got clockwork on it was soooooooooo easy !! So anything else i should do , what about a backup ? how is that done ? Also i got 210 contacts that i need to get onto the blade from my old sony ericsson , tried to use bluetooth but hte blade didnt except the file format i think ? Edited January 3, 2011 by cbrpaul
Guest jamidodger1 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 1. Backup - Clockwork recovery ---> Backup And Restore -----> backups u rom boot and all that or Titanium backup (android app) on the maket. 2. Bluetooth Them Across Then They should be .vcf's on The Sd Card Then On contacts click MENU then import / export then import from SD card Then import all

Guest jamidodger1 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Have You Accepted On the Blade? (Pull Down Notification Bar) If Not Have You Got A Bluetooth Dongle For Pc You Could Use?
Guest cbrpaul Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 it states on the blade device paired ( with my se , setup a code too) , but says , " not connected " in the bletooth settings on the blade , nothing pops up or in the drop down menu to accept either ??
Guest cbrpaul Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) i just sent a photo to the blade via bluetooth , so its confirmed the blade will not accpet .vcf files via bluetooth , thats a bummer , AAny other way i can my 200+ contacts onto the blade with having to put them all in manually ?? Edited January 3, 2011 by cbrpaul
