Hi all, my k810i just got stolen and I think I am going to get a C702 tomorrow, but before I go ahead and hit it, just a question for you'all owners, any regrets?

---

Added on December 16, 2008, 8:25 pmI just checked a few phone store in my area, no one seems to promoting it, and it seems like most sellers are dissing it too! I think I know the reason, you see, the phone is promoted as water splash resistance, if the phone ever get a water damage, what should the seller do?

1st seller "I dont carry C702, this phone have a very very low demand, I dont wanna risk it. Water resistance? Cheating 1 lahhh."

2nd seller "C702 is water resistance, THE BROCHURE SAY ONLY AHHH, I didnt say ahhh, if anything happened to your phone when u go swimming with it, don't come to me."


And here's a tube for people who have problems opening the battery cover! Cant wait to get my C702. XD

Yeah, I will get it within this week. A200 platform? Is that the same platform the K810 is on? Cause I don't consider my K810 a slow phone, although it is a bit laggy at times. xD

How is the GPS? is it useable in Malaysia?

Just got my C702, everything is good and my only gripe is the keypad, a bit hard to press.

I got 1 problem though, everytime i send an sms, it says sending failed, then put it in my outbox folder even though the sms has actually already been sent, any one got any idea? thanks.

What is the latest firmware version at the moment? mine comes with R3BA030, and SEUS says it is the latest. :\

EDIT: Is there away to show time/date in standby(battery saving) mode? Thanks.

How do I update the software then? Is there any other way other than by S.E.'s portal? I searched for updates with my phone too, and it also says it is the most updated version.

then I'll miss that feature on my K810.

Google map works pretty good to find your location, but be very careful, it goes online and download maps from google server, which is expensive as hell if you browse a lot. I have not found a way to use the GPS completely offline.


P.S.: if the TS is still working on it, add me to the list. Speed Black, RM735(AP, phone only) from jssim.

Hey, I am Kellicros, Jssim is the AP phone seller.

BTW, my camera lense cover suddenly become very loose yesterday, and it opens itself in my pocket, going to send it in from warranty Monday.

It would be great if you can provide us with some Malaysia maps to go with Trekbuddy.

I bought mine from a Lowyat.net member(jssim) at RM735 without any free gifts, I think it is pretty good price considered I have surveyed around and most shops are selling it at RM760~780, although with free screen protector or pouch.

Anyone knows how many SMS can the C702 store? Is it phone memory dependent? Or like the older phones, with limited numbers? (e.g.: 1000sms for K810 ), thanks in advance!

I am just curious, anyway, categorizing and arranging by date help.

BTW, just updated to R3DA029, it isn't easy on AP phones, and crappy Streamyx these days. Did not notice much differences, just hope it doesn't crash/restart again.

1- I once washed my phone under the tap, still working perfectly. It is splash resistance from all angle but not water/pressure proof, meaning water can still get in if it gets completely submerged into water, because of pressure. Say, if you accidentally dropped it into a pool, I think you got about 10seconds to retrieve it. All and all, don't ever take it with you for a swim.

2- I love my speed black.

I now have more than a hundred sms'es in my inbox, arranged by date and it hardly lags.

No, it is not that easy for AP sets, because most AP suppliers have replaced the CDA codes on their phones with bogus/fake codes for whatever reasons(maybe so you would pay them more for updating phonewares?), in my case, mine was replaced with 12345678_chi_blabla. The CDA are the set of codes show up halfway when you're updating your phoneware, if SEUS detects a bogus code, it tells you your phone has the latest phoneware and stop the process, same goes when updating via the phoneware itself.

That said, to update these AP sets requires you to change your CDA to a real one, you need to find out the real CDA for your reign to not lose your current setting(eg: the chinese input) after updating, and changing the CDA requires the use of thirdparty software that could BRICK your phones if you mess things up, it is quite easy if you know what you're doing though.

Besides, my crappy streamyx connection took more than 3 hours to download the new phoneware, putting my phone in coma during that period, didn't dare to cancel the process in afraid of bricking the phone. :S

I start noticing that now, yes the latest phoneware does seem a lot smoother and quicker, and I haven't get a reboot/crash for a while.

I got my phone from TELSTRA and yet, it came with fake/bogus CDA and old RBA phoneware, I believe the CDA was changed when they converted the phone from another region. My phone came with ASEAN phoneware too, so in order to retain everything, I needed to look for the ASEAN CDA codes to change to.

I dunno, in that 3 hours of waiting, I was wondering what would happen if my connection suddenly goes off, or if there is an electric blackout.

EDIT: Here's a silly question about the Media centre, how do you separate Photos and Pictures listed/shown in the Media Centre? Pictures I copied from PC always got mixed up with my Camera Album, I am wondering how do you get them into the "Pictures" section instead,

Bought my phone at RM735 without any gifts.

I believe the CDA thing is region code that the Update Service detects and download the phoneware of the correct region accordingly. Just ask them to do it, I am pretty sure they would be glad to help, since they are earning from you anyway. I didn't ask because I thought flashing the update is an easy task.

*>*<<*<*
Goes into "Service Info" then "Software Info", the phoneware version is at the first line, I remember my phone came with R3CA030, which is an older version.

I heard there is a newer phoneware for C702, R3DA032, anyone has more info on it?

Trekbuddy works according to TOMEI-R, I haven't tested it myself because I can't find any KL maps for it.

Actually, the latest firmware that is downloadable via SEUS is R3DA29, which is newer than R3CA037 and 038. And if you're updating via SEUS, you can have any language you want provided you got the correct CDA code, eg, having a APAC-ANZ(ASEAN) CDA code on your phone will give you the latest firmware with all ASEAN languages.

As far as I know, the package does not comes with any M2(unless you pay more to have it included), but the C702 itself has 160MB internal memory, which is a good thing i guess.

You will have to sell them if you are getting a C702 anyway, because it uses M2 instead of microsd.
