Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 14, 2003 Report Posted February 14, 2003 Leigh from BornSloppy is here in the USA with me @ Microsoft, hence no updates! P
Guest swanseastu Posted February 14, 2003 Report Posted February 14, 2003 Phew!! :) I thought he'd gone back to using a No*ia or other 'old' technology phone and was letting the site rest in peace. I get my phone just over a week ago, use his site for reference, then it goes all quiet. Luckily this forum saves the day. Have a nice hol/working hol and say hello to Bill if you see him Stu
Guest shadieb Posted February 14, 2003 Report Posted February 14, 2003 Wouldn't mind checking these updates out if I could get my bl**dy GPRS to work :)
Guest xanadu Posted February 14, 2003 Report Posted February 14, 2003 Have you called Orange 156 for help ? They should be able to check your GPRS settings or send you a SIM update.
Guest shadieb Posted February 14, 2003 Report Posted February 14, 2003 Just done as you suggested Xanadu, I rang 156, spoke to a very helpful gentleman called Steve, who told me a mast had gone down in my area on the 12th and Iwas still logged on to it. Got it sorted and up and running in no time. He even called me back :) He couldn't have been more helpful (a credit to Orange) and when I asked why the phone seemed to be running slow, he specifically mentioned a new update due anytime to speed the phone up. Can't wait now ;) Thanks again..
Guest youngerpants Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 has anyone actually bothered to grab these updates. I'm not contemplating it as i have all the skins/ sounds, games etc i could possibly want, and more are coming out each day... but then again, i was always one of those kids who wanted what he couldnt have, so...
Guest The Futures Bright Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 They aren't really worth grabbing, 2 backgrounds, and a bubbles and drumroll sounds ringtones, bit naff really, but hey they are free and something to do when waiting on the proper update. Sigh. :roll:
Guest )(nspired ))ead Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 Full Hand Casino is online to download using orange update ,,, don't bet to high....lol
Guest The Futures Bright Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 The demo i might add. :?
Guest muude Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 I think the cabin pic is nice, but that's about it fir the update....
Guest benny Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 Bubbles sounds halfway between someone taking a hit from a bong (not that I'd condone this behaviour), or someone farting in a bath... Quite why it became a ringtone is beyond me! :) B
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 It was free, thats the important thing. ODK are charging for their wallpapers :)
Guest Zack Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 Just downloaded these, bit pathetic really. Get the impression that they are just telling us that they haven't forgotten about us....Yet! When is this bloody update coming, any ideas? Anyone know what's gonna be on it? Quick camera use function? :?
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 Just so you know, I just spoke to OCS (about the SMS delivered to SIM problem), and asked about the update. Still no confirmed date, just another "it'll be here soon". I wish OHQ would get their arses in gear and give us/OCS some more info :/
Guest youngerpants Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 I agree with you Monolithix, I wouldnt mind if they told me the update was due in October, as long as I know. Its been "soon" for months now. If it was October, i think florin would have a server overload for his update once its released
Guest Big Ron - No Longer a Mem Posted February 18, 2003 Report Posted February 18, 2003 I spoke to a former OCS colleague over the weekend, and asked if they knew anything more about the update. Essentially, the answer was "only what trickles through from Modaco - i.e. officially we don't even know there IS going to be an upgrade." Par for the course. The new Sony 800 is now out... 156 are taking calls, and have zero information available. (Just like it was with the truly dreadful new Panasonic) My former colleague (and continuing friend!) asked "One word keeps on coming up in queries. What IS 'Symbian'? Because there's NOTHING on the computer. Someone told me it means it's like the Nokia 7650. Is that true?" What they know is what they're told. What they're told isn't enough. You think YOU'RE frustrated? Try it from the OTHER end of the phone! Imagine what it would be like to KNOW what Symbian is... but to be muzzled by a rule that says you're not to tell the customer anything "not officially endorsed". My erstwhile colleague was also amazed to hear that Microsoft do NOT support the SPV. OCS are still telling people "we don't support that..." (i.e. "we have no information at all about that") "...try Microsoft." Note that I've not mentioned what area of OCS my colleague works for. I've not hinted at their name or their gender. I feel that's fair... and I hope you'll follow my example.
