    I have the previous model to this phone the K500i (less memory, and no radio). No, my joypad has not stopped working, however sometimes it fails to move when i move the joypad around, and it can take several attempts to get it to respond. Ive had this phone for about 2 years now, however it has definelty got worse and less reponsive over time.
    Hopefully this has been fixed in this model as it is a great phone otherwise, no other complaints to make.

    i have this with my k700i and all it is is dust in the joystick mechanism, so put a vacuum cleaner over the joystick and is should be more responsive

    Just come across this site that says the most memory you can use in this phone is 2GB even though somewhere I definately saw it say up to 4GB !

  • to find out the CID of your phone is, use the "Test Cable / Read CID" function of the davinci flasher.

    you can download the davinci software for free , just google it

    I was worried about this too, so I fired off an email to their CS department asking how they applied the refund
    here's what they said:

    Dear xx xxxxxxxx

    Thanks for your email.

    no refund will be needed as although the full amount of payment is
    reserved, only the discounted value is requested when the order is
    processed.

    I hope that this information is helpful to you, but if you have any
    further queries, please do not hesitate to let me know.

    Regards

    xxxxxxx


    checked the online banking again the next day and sure enough only only £79.20 had come out, and thats what it said on the delivery note!:cool:
    Daft system but good bargain!:rolleyes:
    :cool: :A
  • Can someone please confirm if this mobiles will alow me to put my Vodafone sim in???

    Thanks

    Also anyone know where the cheapest W800i is cheapest to buy??
  • They are now also selling the same phone on Orange as well.
    Might save any of us MSE'rs on Orange already and wanting to keep the same number from paying to have the phone unlocked

    Mine new phone has arrived now and I am in the process of getting use to it. It does seem however that it doesnt come with many ringtones, message tones and alarm tones.

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a
    reputable
    site where I can get such things...preferable free

    Thanks

    Ordered two last week & should arrive today according to an email, any one know who which company they use to deliver ??
  • To answer a couple of questions, i've just received 2 of these...
    1) They are delivered by Royal Mail Special Delivery (signed for)
    2) They work with Vodaphone Sims, i've tried my work sim in this phone and it works fine so presumably these phones are unlocked.
    3) The discount shows on the delivery form when you receive the item
    4) Tracked via quidco for an extra £16 off the order - 20 Sep 2006 Great Universal 198.00 15.84 tracked ~ Nov 2006
    5) Buy one, in fact buy 10 and flog the rest for a ton each on Ebay :)

    EDIT 2) They work with Vodaphone Sims, i've tried my work sim in this phone and it works fine so presumably these phones are unlocked.
    It appears that these phones may/or may not be unlocked, have tried the Voda sim in the second phone i ordered and it doesn't work..
