apologies Gavin, Reading post 113 I assumed you were Matt

This thread although for the C500 mentions that full internet access isn't available for O2 pay as you go and that because of this Messenger will not run.

You may want to check it out

Thanks again for that , i just noticed it takes some of my credit as well when i try, even though i have some monthly allowance left !

Hi

Got my Lobster - great!

Now unlocked and working great on my existing t-mobile sim but how do I set up the internet access?

Thanks

No - you will need to obtain new software for it Tom Tom 5.2 for windows devices.

If you read the forum from the start you will get lots of good information. Some very worthwhile links to look at aswell for further info.

Any advance on the N73 case being compatible ? We've only got one person's word for it at the moment And any chance of a pic, Mike ? How does that case cope with the bulge ?

I've got an N73 and a Lobster. They are almost the same height and width, but the bulge on the Lobster sticks out quite a way past the N73's side edge. I'd be surprised if a case meant for an N73 fits the Lobster (unless it's a really crappy case - i.e. doesn't really fit the N73 that well).

I'm not with o2 so I can't help there i'm afraid. My only suggestion is that you make sure you have the gprs settings for o2 payg as they are different from the contract settings

It's bound to be incorrect settings causing him to be charged. Best thing to do is give O2 CS a call and ask them to send the settings direct to the phone.

Anyone else tried this. It's damned impressive. Gives you a moving animated screen. You can scroll to different screens left & right.

Only a demo for free but the full thing can be purchased.

might seem random but just a query,
would my lobster be able to work on WM6( Windows mobile 6) and still get the dab/tv program files working on it?
Or perhaps having two OS working on the same phone.
Just a thought

I doubt it.

Very, very nice. I've got Fizz Weather running on my Lobby. The home screen shows the weather forecast for the next seven days for my local area. It has satellite maps and all sorts. Very good program and the forecast updates cost very little to download. You can set it to show upto 7 days of forecasts on your home screen, or just the current conditions.

This looks very interesting:

If you can do that on a PPC, I'm sure there are apps out there that enable you to do it on a Smartphone.
