In particular note the strange connector attached to this one.

This looks like a stand alone antenna. I would not mind getting hold of one of these if anybody knows of a source.

I was late to this offer - as usual !

Now "Out Of Stock".

Any suggestions apart from wait ?

I dont want to phone as need to use Quidco.

Thanks in advance.

The web page was set to show "out of stock" due to a certain element of abuse - mostly coming from this site.
They were still in stock when I asked yesterday.
Try calling 0845 6000 070

I think you'll find that the abuse wasn't coming from this site, as the tribe code was removed early on. Another site has it up, and that's where the abuse was coming from.

Try to be nice. It's obvious you work for Virgin. You should be happy that this phone has finally taken off, rather than sitting there getting less than 10K sales since launch.

Wow !!
The Red case looks sooooo much better. Can the Red housing be bought anywhere ?

Techie question...

Thanks

I am looking for software for the Lobster to be able to link and update with Microsoft Money 2005 on my PC. I had a brilliant piece of software for my old Sony Palm, but am lost when looking on the web for relevant software for the Lobster. Anyone use any relevant software or know of any?

Am chuffed with the Lobster by the way. It's my new favourite gadget.

I'm going to nominate this for post of the month, folks...it's had almost 30K views and is an excellent bargain, as well as being a great way to get a mobile that lets you watch tv, listen to DAB radio and work as a satnav system too.

You can nominate the OP by posting on the thread linked below:

You can play The Secret of Monkey Island (and other games) on this phone using the SCUMM engine for Windows Mobile.

The yellow aerial looks like it is a tuned one, i.e. a coil of wire with capacitor(s) which will tune it to give the correct electrical length. A bit like a mobile aerial, except it uses a 2.5mm jack for connection.
