tryed to logon to bbc1 with my lobby and its gone , no more one on the lobby. or not on my lobby let me know if its just me. thx's
BBC 1 is is the only channel thats for free without any cost for monthly subscription. How can Virgin do this to their customers!!!!!!
Anywayz i abandoned my lobster long ago because of the size... Not much people uses it and i believe is the least popular HTC phone ever made.
Does anyone remember when bbc1 was supposed to be free "at least until" please tell me it was 2008 and we had been mis sold
unfortunately i love the phone great DAB Radio, im only askin cos my 1 year old son has been playing destruction derby with mine
I hope DAB TV returns in the forthcoming years... it had some potential...

I called the guy a few months ago to check him out. It sounds and looks to me like a single guy working out of his house (In fact, I regularly visit a house one block away from this address; it's in the middle of a residential area; next time I'm in the neighbourhood I'll be sure to visit the pdatechcenter.nl guy!). The guy made a technical impression, and seemed to know his parts. I can't vouch for his honesty but am under the impression he's really in the business of doing upgrades and repairs.
XDA developer bigmac
PDAcenter
He probably works out of his home, but that shouldn't be a problem.
I had my XDA upgraded to 64MB and there isn't a scratch on the cover. They even cleaned my display. Great service and cheaper than the other
URL in this thread.
Grtz,
Raymond
I know for a fact that he works out of his home, because i've been there myself. My touchscreen broke a couple of days ago and on friday he has a ready while you wait service. He repaired my screen within 20 min!!!
I agree that his website is horrible, but I can garantee you he's legit.
But is you dont trust it you can always call him yourself.
as much as id liek to call him im only 17 and international calls from the UK would kill my wallet lol.
ah o2 free sim offer was on again made a killing from that getting 30 simcards selling them for £235 not bad for free and i want to use the money to get my xda running faster ill check out expansys as i know they are a big company thx guys
think about whether you need a RAM upgrade, when you can easily and more cheaply get an SD card. 256 Mb can be bought for 60-80 pounds. You can install all your files on that. You have 32mb to run all your apps.... unless your running a data warehouse it should be sufficient..
Hi this might sound like a dumb question. But I was just wondering if I can use my imate jasjam as a navigation system to be able to get street directions I know it is possible on other PDA/Phones like the O2. Also would I have to pay as this is done via GPS on other fones which the jasjam doesn't have.
Sure you can use GPS with jasjam/Tytn.
1. Buy a 1GB or 2GB microSD card.
2. Buy PPC GPS Nav software from www.66.com or www.tomtom.com
3. Buy a Nokia LD-3W or Globalsat BT-338 bluetooth GPS receiver from eBay.
That's all you need.
Thanxs for the fast reply I have looked at the GPS receivers on ebay and they dont say the jasjam? Also do you know any software that will work in Australia?
Well I have got a Jasjam on order (been waiting 6 weeks but should be here in 2-3 days) and I have a I-Blue GPS. I also have a TomTom 6 on my IIs which runs great and has maps of the whole of Australia and you can get maps for all over the world. When I get the Jasjam I will pair it with the I-Blue and see how it goes. I will let you know how I get on. Also how are you finding your Jasjam? Also how are you finding battery life?
To be honest I got it when it first came out and I have a few issues like the keyboard not working sometimes, the fone freezeing a coulpe of times the active sync screwing up on the PDA forceing a hard reset to fix the problem. Battery lIfe not sure I listen to it on the train and it goes from 100% to 90% and this is every day so I charge it like twice a week. Also the bluetooth plays Up. I have performed 2 hard resets. But in all honestly I have learnt to live with the porblems but after a hard resset all the problems disappear. I love my JASJAM. Which also comes unlocked from TELSTRA
I am getting mine from Telstra. Thanks for the info. I take it you didn't get yours from Telstra? Because if you did I am a bit worried.
Of course I got it from TELSTRA. The guy who sold it to me said "you can expect this as it is a new product which is the first in its class". Also if they tell you that you get 2 months free internet it is not true they told me that can then i noticed by bill said $150 for data usage so I rang up and complained and got two months for free for real and also a credit on my bill Also it is pretty expensive if you dont get a data pack I only use the net on it at home on my wireless so it doesnot worry me. Just becareful of what they say
I once got hit for $200 because Journal Bar http://www.omegaone.com/journalbar/ppc/default.htm connected to the internet to update the news and I didn't realise for 9 hours and in that time it had updated 9 times!!!!!!! Because I am getting the Jasjam on a business plan it is 50c per KB so I thought that it was best to get a $29 data pack or their could be a nasty surprise on the bill. Over in the UK on T-Mobile you can get unlimited GPRS for seven pound and here it is sometimes 50c a KB!!!!!!!!! As soon as they were released I got over to the Telstra shop to look at them and to see on their pricing and I got told that I could have one included on a $50 business plan so I went away and made a appointment with the accounts manager to get a few of them and he said that it would have to be on a $70 plan and I have been waiting 6 weeks for them to get them in and they said on Thursday that they would have them in within a week so I should finally get them. So it all just goes to show that with Telstra you have to do all the research yourself or they will stuff you round.
Ok got mine on the $80 plan but the options are pretty crap. Also this fone as present can not be insured I asked for it and they said sure no probs fill in this form and we will fax it of and it will be insured for $8 a month. Then a lady ring me and say no insurance cuase it is a PDA/Phone what is the go with this?? miss informed again. Also you are unable to check the account balance on the phone form the phone for some reason or if you manage to you get charged for it whre as every other provider offers it as a free service. But telstra makes you pay for everything
I have rung the accounts manager each week to see when they will be coming in and each week he is "I don't know and don't care I have other customers to deal with bye" and that is what they are like when you have you have a business and all the mobiles with them!!!!!!!! I felt just getting them online from the USA but I was concerned about the warranty and as Telstra is the only store that sells them you are at their mercy!!!
That is kind of true you could of purchased them from 3 but they only have stock of 500 in AUS, and you have to pay for them whereas with Telstra you own them and they also come with 2yrs warranty standard. Do you know where I can buy a cheap bluetooth GPS receiver from as I want to try the GPS. I think that any bluetooth reciever will work cause all it is doing is just sending and recieving a signal. Then I just have to find the software I had it before but I lost it
All the GPS software on E-Bay http://computers.listings.ebay.com....QQfromZR4QQsacatZ64371QQsocmdZListingItemList
How much do you want to pay for the GPS? A good one is about $150 inc postage.
$150 is fine.
"For Sale - Unofficial TomTom 6 Navigation Software for Pocket PC. This software will work on any bluetooth enabled Pocket PC running windows Mobile 2002 onwards with a SD Card Slot. The Software will be delivered on cd with easy instructions on how to load it on to your memory card." Man this sounds like the guy has downloaded the sw from the net and is just selling it LOL.
Also how big are the maps and program if I need a min o 512mb I currenty have 1024 which is half full with music?? Cause others say min 256mb
Sorry about the link to the TomTom software it is unofficial so DON'T buy it I just looked at it again and realised. I am really sorry.
Nah man it is fine it is pretty funny. He should just say this is the link pay me $120 and you can dl it straight away no need to wait for it in the mail LOL
Well on my device which has maps of Aus and the program it adds up to about 100mb so if you have a 1Gb half full it should be fine.
Well I have used Destinator 5 on my IIs and it was so slow that you would be going along the highway and then you take the exit and you would have been of the highway for about 4 minutes and it still said that you were on it so I changed to TomTom 6 and I find it great.
Here is the I-Blue GPS http://cgi.ebay.com.au/i-Blue-PS-73...yZ129259QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I use the I-blue but it is the previous model but I still find it great and the battery just keeps going. I find it has great accuracy and picks the signal up very quickly. I found that TomTom only registers it if it is on COM6 so you just create a new COM port and it works fine.
That is good to know so I should go for the TomTom 6 and this is like 100mb installed. Also are the maps free to update via the net or do i have to pay to dl them. Cause there are so many ppl on ebay selling the software on flash memory
Hi, im interested in buying this device on handset only , but only want to have this for the digital tv capability, is there any way of hacking so you can receive this for free, because i dont want to open up a new contract with virgin ... and i dont want to get pay and goand pay a fiver a month for it either..
anyone know the score on this??
Not enough people have the phonefor the hackers to be interested yet. Which is why we have no free unlock yet either.
BBC 1 is free on the phone for the foreseeable future.
TV is a bit crap though, DAB radio is much better and it is a decent smartphone for very little money.
been looking into this myself, trying to find where the tv subscription details are stored, but not much luck, managed to find the tv channel and radio station tiny images for the program, and changed channel 4 shortcuts to just the channel 4 logo, easiest way i found to do the tv for free on payg is using any old virgin sim cards (got about 4 a while back when they were free thru virgin site, so worth keeping ur eyes peeled for them, and when ur subscription runs out, chnange the sim to the other one, activate subscription for tv then swap back again, and then that will give u another 90 days free as it will be the first time its been registered for tv services, that will give u thirty days then swap again when that month subscription runs out, then again for another thirty then again for another thirty to the full 90, then try and get hold of another, and repeat again, meaning u will only need a sim every three months, the spare sim fits perfectly inside the back cover of phone too so can be left in there until needed, that will work until virgin gives the first ninety days for free, must be someway to hack into where it is stored properly tho.
Unlock Lobster
Heres the trick
Buy the phone
Get a FREE sim card from Virgin
Put £30 Credit on (You get £25 free when you buy the phone)
Call 789 and ask for unlock code
Get letter in 5 days time with unlock code
Tried and tested 3 times :-D
Also, the free sim cards definatly re-activate the 90 day TV Trial :-D
Just a quick one in regards to this post.
Another option is to call customer services and let them know you have been having problems with the signal and havent really had chance to test it 9/10 they will give u another month free. (which i have done)
or could try and complain that they are shutting down the service and you bought the phone for the tv (i bought it for the radio and its great) and you feel let down having paid out for the phone and fingers crossed you might get it free until the tv packs in.(which i will try soon)
Phew appologies for the bad grammer but speed typing at work

I hop on craigslist.org this morning and found a lot of people selling HD2's, anywhere from $200 to $400, some brand new, others used but in "good" condition. Is everyone trying to sell their HD2 now for a reason?

a batch of stolen items sold by fictitious different sellers?
Otherwise, 200USD sounds too low to me, way more than good enough to buy anoher one to be used as simple PDA since tmous hardware won't work with european carriers
yea cos its too much fone for a lot of people, and too much stress for the rest.

I just sold mine. I'm afraid the phone is just too high maintenance for someone with a wife, full-time job and part-time study. iPhone 4 here I come Plus the majority of apps don't work or are ugly as old school hell.

sorry the smartphone was too smart for you. jk!!!
Yeah, I think a lot of people are getting them cheap (we got 2 from wirefly for 70.00 a piece, then a 3rd from wal-mart for 50.00), then selling them and probably screwing over t-mobile in the process (will never pay their 200.00 etf). Probably already on another carrier and trying to make money. Since the phones are gsm, there is no esn to blacklist like sprint and verizon.
on a side note, that is why I was hesitant to add insurance on them (130.00 deductible), but decided it was the most hassle free way if something happens to one if the phones (considering I did give one to my 9 year old).
I can certainly see how the phone wouldn't mesh well with many buyers, who are initially attracted by the cheap contract pricing and specifications. Windows Mobile is certainly not for everyone, and I wouldn't blame them for jumping ship. I've wanted to a few times, when things were acting up. It's never fun to be hard resetting and flashing your phone every few weeks.
guess i've just been lucky with my smartphones. only had to hard reset a couple of times in the last few years. Of course, I've hard reset to flash new ROMs lots of times!!!
winmo is a dying breed.
HOPE YOU HAVE GOT ONE, CUS I WANT TO SELL MINE BUT NOTHING LESS THAN $400

Oh.. poo
I wouldn't complain. some of us are still in qvga or Old TV land with a HTC Diamond. I will probably upgrade to HTC Moz next year. 24 month contract is £20 so might come down to 18 month.

This is why anything over 12 months for a contract is stupid. "Smartphones" go out of date within months, forget about 2 years... I really do pity you!

I've always gone sim free/pay as you go, but I just had a look around, and there don't seem to be any here in the UK either :S That's bizarre - 2 years ago, they were the height of advertising :S

It's all about the cheaper longer contracts now, the 12 month is now the 18 month and the 18 month is now the 24 month. Plus I think the 24 month is standard now, and you can shorten it if you pay an extra £5pm
I was going to go sim only but I wasn't sure what problems the Mozart might have (I don't have the best track record with HTCs, however much I love them) so I went contract just for the warranty.
That's great.
For people than can buy the handset out right, that's fine.
You get to pick your own contract. Good for you.
I have other responsibilities than a mobile phone to think about.
My diamond has been with me for over 2 years now and although it feels slow. It still makes calls, takes good photos and GPS works. Runs a dual OS doubles as a media centre.

i had the diamond also. although it was a hightechphone when i got it, it kinda fast went into a old sort of relic but i just sold it for 50€ in a very bad status scrachy display and cover and so on and the buyer still uses it with proud and honor cause its one of the most reliable phones
cheers
