I think we can, if we learn how to program for Symbian and UIQ
But I like UIQ better than S60 anyway, its a bit neater and more organized.

I like WinMo too, except the interface. But when WinMo 6.5/7 comes out, its going to change, I hope. For now, HTC Touch HD (800x480 screen ) is the ultimate phone for me.

Added on November 13, 2008, 5:18 pmWell, UIQ and S60 are just user interfaces. Under them, its the same operating system (sort of like TouchFlo3D on Windows Mobile). You might have noticed similarities between them, like the folder structures and stuff. If you write a symbian program that doesn't need any user input, it should (theoretically) work on both S60 and UIQ phones.

But since UIQ is largely touch based, SE has modified the OS to suit its needs, and so has Nokia.

Symbian will still live, and will be open source, so I think everyone can freely install it on their phones. Nokia is also adding touch functionality to Symbian, so maybe SE will STILL have Symbian phones, but with S60? Its just speculation, but Symbian isn't dead yet (still has the largest market share in mobile OSes)

Yep, the 5800. 7700 was a "special" phone. Also very old.

But 5800 is just a music phone, not the ultimate flagship model. That will come even later. Looks good.

But, the G900 is unique. I don't think you can efficiently use any of the other touch phones with just one hand

my bad. It looked too big in the picture though.

I don't think its been released yet. But I know one thing. It will be expensive

This is it.

Not bad, it even has a 3.5mm jack in it

Its around 40 pounds on Amazon, so maybe you can get it for ~200 to 250 in Lowyat? Maybe lower.

There is a PTT software for S60 :|
Surprising, I thought it was hardware based.

Might be for UIQ too...didn't search too much.

Nope, don't buy it you need it.

But it does have Wifi

Congratulations!

Be sure to update before doing anything!

Added on November 16, 2008, 5:27 amBtw, heres a chart from the SE website showing the maximum memory card size supported by each phone.

8GB is confirmed and tested by SE

I thought rm was pretty much dead too
Anyway, you can use some free converters available. (like Super).
If you convert it to 3gp 320x240 and high bitrate (800+), it look pretty good on the phone.

Does anyone else have problems with connecting PC suite in phone mode?

I have a backup of a lot of contacts, now it decided not to work anymore, and I can't restore them.



Seems like a problem with many SE smart phones.

Hey, even my phone is working great now
9 days no freeze

The new red theme not only looks good, but is light too (no transparency, fancy graphics...), so it runs pretty fast even with transitions on.

I'm using the pouch i got from a gameboy micro

Its a simple cloth pouch with two strings, drop it in a pull the strings to close. Its a bother, but at least it doesn't get so scratched.

eyedeal:
Just go to the memory card in File Manager and open the theme.

The number of SMSes the G900 can store is limited only by the amount of free memory. I don't think theres an option to store SMSes on the memory stick. I haven't found it, anyway. But, it'll be a long time before you can fill up the 140MB of phone memory
Just install all your programs on the memory stick and save your camera's photos, videos, andsound recordings on the memory stick, not the phone memory.

You can try copying the smses to your SIM card, put it in the G900 and then copy it to the phone. If you have a lot of messages, it will take a lot of time though.

OR you can try float's mobile agent, save all your SMSes on your pc, and then restore them on your G900. Haven't used that software much though, so make sure its possible. (its free, you have nothing to lose)

Better update just in case.

I did used to have signal problems when I bought it. (It used to disconnect from the network after a few hours then i had to do a network search).

Didn't check (don't want to shut it down, its been on for 15 days, seems very stable now), but I will soon.

I solved the USB phone mode connection problem.
Uninstalled PC suite including mRouter.
Deleted all keys in the registry that have mRouter in them.
Reinstalled PC suite.

And it worked.

From what I understood, mRouter is what connects to the phone, and passes that connection to PC suite (when its in Phone Mode). Even when you close mRouter, PC Suite still uses its files I think.

In File mode, its just plug and play.

For the modem, theres another application inside PC suite somewhere.

Phone is useless except for backups and using the phone as a modem.
The modem thing you can do over bluetooth too though.

The updating part isn't phone mode, its something else

R6J825 is one of the first versions. Slow and buggy, do the update as soon as possible. Before installing anything and saving any contacts. You'll lose everything.

I was going to give you the link for the update service program download from the SE website (so that you know its the latest version), but the entire G900 page seems down :| it should be back soon, usually within 24 hours.

You can download it from this page and follow the instructions.
