Black & Silver...perfect combination..made in heaven  cool.gif

Am using silver. Heard paint on the Black will scrape off easily especially near the stylus silo but if its wrapped...i think its perfect. Hoorah!

Strictly noobie comment here cos I haven't played with many ppc's before but I think it's ok niah. Livable.. Just gotta close the open programs niah.

Thanx a lot hope you can post pictures with low light environment by the way do Dopod got flash like in nokia n70, 6680 ? pictures there are superb smile.gif

No flash dood and frankly, the low light pic aren't much to shout about. Can't post the low light pics now but will do when I can.

Brother Snipey,

The thing abt this type of wrapping is that...u cant really tell its wrapped bcz its tightly cladded to the device and i wrapped a transparent one..haha. Some frens cant even tell its wrapped even when they were handling it...hmm...
-Strik3-

Cheah...I thought you do carbon fibre or hello kitty or something. tongue.gif

Those "wrappings" texture are all the same kar? Do they have anything "rougher" cos it's rather slippery.

Thinking of wrapping mine too. Just haven't decided on which skin.

Good news guys. I just found out this thread that overclocking the OMAP processor is possible. Somebody mention they can get to 250Mhz and above but suggest for max stability to stay around 240Mhz. Also reported Skype work smoothly after overclocking. So possible to overtake O2 Atom speed as this is dual core.

A lil update..

I've junked the black dom dom... it attracts dust like crazy!! Note to others: If you're getting one...get the white instead where it's not so noticeable.

Another thing is....the phone volume is rather low isn't it? I've already set it to loudest but it's still a far cry from my old nokia 6230.

I'm talking bout the call volume ler.

But yeah..I suppose I'll use a louder sound file for ring volume.

To be honest, when I first saw the blue,lavender etc colored 818pro's...I was thinking... GOSH that's fugly but when see the real thing...the black... then it became GOSH that's SEEEXXY.

But seriously...check this out...silver with carbon fibre.

It's just a skin/wrap.
1. Why sometimes when i press start it will lag abit???
Too many programs running together kut. Close some of the programs lor

2. As why i keylocked and unlock can only see the unluck word at below and when i comfirm unlock then back to nrmal screen...
Dunno... I don't use lock. I just turn the screen offWhen wanna use just press the on button niah....save power also. The phone works like that also so it's not a problem.

3. sometimes i need to pree the ON button only can see the screen and i pree onces then see light and off back...
Probably your backlight settings kut...set it to leave on for longer lar.

My turn for questions, I wanna display phone contacts only (no sim contacts). I don't wanna use filter because it'll revert back to show all contacts later.

Any ideas?

NT1900 if I remembered correctly. The sandisk is cheaper at NT1400

For those of you having problems disconnecting to GPRS, follow above steps to ensure MSN is stopped and also always sign out from MSN Messenger to avoid continuous connection to GPRS.

There's the most annoying thing...searching for a network takes up large resources and my phone once hang upon turning off camera cos media player was enabling the gprs.

On another note....

CHEAP way of improving grip on 818Pro.

How cheap? Only RM1.

Step 1: Figure out the ergonomics...where the phone contacts/grips with the hand. This is how I hold my phone with my left hand.

Step 2: Went out to get one of these stick on grips for ladies high heels and cut them to size. Thought of using those 3M ones but no point wasting money. Plus, they stick well without going out of shape cos they're designed for shoes.
