Guest madu Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 Now that it is un-SIM-locked, de-certified and updated, this phone has no limits! I enjoy every bit of it [apart from the Orange one, heh]. It is now THE phone to have in my opinion and it's just great! I only need a replacement since it is all scratched and dusty under the screen.. Oh well, "Full Backup + Orange Care = No problem"! So what's your verdict?
Guest ajb3000 Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 My verdict, originally it was ok, had a lot of features but also a lot of problems. However, as of today I have the update which almost turns it into a new phone!! I have a de-certified phone so I can run whatever programs I like, I have a un-SIM-locked phone so I my friends can try it out and run up their bill and not mine, and I have fully functional free SMS thanks to RetroFone. I've never been more proud of a phone before in my life!!
Guest yatpeak Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 I think that though the update has made the phone faster, last longer and have greater signal, I would have voted the same way when if first got it. This phone's the best thing since bread and butter (or the laptop :) ) Wyatt
Guest spacemonkey Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 I agree, this phone was good from the start. Removing the cert requirement made it great. The bugs were never too much of an issue especially when you accept that this is a first generation device. And now a chunk of the bugs are fixed anyway. It really can only get better. I'm really looking forwards to smartphone 2002 on the next gen of hardware, as in faster CPU, better battery life etc. (I'm not talking SPVx which is a minor hardware tweak)
Guest spacemonkey Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 There is a newbie area on this forum. Go use that until you're ready to read the forum and investigate things yourself... maybe when your 21?
Guest spacemonkey Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 What's an SPV? Right, that's it... I'm sick of you newbies... I've just haxored modaco cos I'm l33t and will be remotely frying all your spv's. I've traced your IP address and will be round your house with a gun shortly.
Guest paulend Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 whats all this talk of the spv being a fone? i thought it stood for sausage potato and veg?!............. i always wondered why i couldnt find my fav delia recipie for south american bangers on this site!! :) ;)
Guest BustaC Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 Oh dear, it's a phone? I was wondering why I haven't been able to load the update on my spv By contrast, the missile firing mechanism is hidden :oops:
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 27, 2003 Report Posted February 27, 2003 Right, that's it... I'm sick of you newbies... I've just haxored modaco cos I'm l33t and will be remotely frying all your spv's. I've traced your IP address and will be round your house with a gun shortly. Which makes me think. When you use the SPV as a USB modem, presumably the IP it uses is the ip of the phone, as its a GPRS connection? In theory isn't the SPV acting as a kind of mini-firewall? Unles theres a way to find all of the internal IP's...assuming that is how it works.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 27, 2003 Report Posted February 27, 2003 PLAY NICE ALL this is a friendly site. :)

Unles theres a way to find all of the internal IP's...assuming that is how it works. I wouldn't say so much a mini firewall, more like a usb ADSL modem would behave. Yes the phone has it's own IP, but your not networking to the phone... let me try and make that clearer... I have a ADSL Router. My pc has an IP address 10.0.0.4 which points at the router on 10.0.0.2 and the router has an external IP address of whatever demon gives it. So my router is remapping all traffic recieved from my pc into the greater internet. I have an ADSL USB modem. My modem has an IP address of whatever demon gives it. When I set up networking on my pc to use this modem my pc itself has that address. There is no seperate internal network, the pc is effectively on the internet directly. Between the modem and the pc there is a serial connection but this is transparent from a TCP/IP point of view. The SPV when being used as a modem will behave like the USB modem case. PS. that's my understanding anyway, I could be wrong :)
