Vista Screen





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.

I've got it and I like it a lot but i've found a couple of niggles....when I came to answer a call, I had a real problem finding how, all the caller could hear was my ringtone, that was untill I entered settings and unticked the 'cover up incoming phone call' box....also when viewing photos it's really slow trying to do anything...would I pay for it...hmm maybe not.

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

As per my other post previously on the other thread:

Just got my T-mobile web'n'walk working on here using manual Wap and Internet setup instructions from here (see bottom left): http://www.manuals.t-mobile.co.uk/Manual.asp?manualid=1777&page=techspec (my unit is officially unlocked using the £30 credit method)

In response to doubters of the particular N73 case I mentioned in a previous post, ;-) here are some crappy pictures taken at low smartphone res, that hopefully show that the case works fine and fits very well.

It has elastic at each side which stretches a little on the right side to accomodate "the bulge".
There is a hole in the plastic at the top which lines up with the earpiece and a hole in the fabric at the bottom for the mic, jack socket and usb socket.
There is also a hole in the middle of the plastic front for joypad access which doesn't quite line up but it's not necessary to operate it anyway.
Additionally there is a hole in the fabric at the top which allows access to the on/off and speaker
I haven't uploaded one pic of the other side, which shows there is a hole at the back which lines up with the camera, and a clip for belt etc and 2 push button studs to fasten the case.
IMO it fits very well and allows access to all the right things, Overall cheap enough, does what it says on the tin and even seems to smell of leather!

Hope this helps

PS. all pics taken with another lobster, in the same model of case!

Looks like a nice fit.

I'm thinkin of buying one of these lobsters. If you don't put in £30 credit, can you still unlock it?

Good.Thought it was me.:D

Lovely display and good to load up just to see what the capabilities of the lobby are but slowed down my system too.

i didn't get as far as the 'Cover up incoming call' bit. That explains a lot.

Poor demo in that respect IMHO but the graphics are excellent.

worth a go anyway.:T

Here are a couple of sites offering goodies for the Lobby.
Both stock similar products and many of the products seem to be 'Universal' I.E. not Lobby specific, but still the best range that I have found.

Hi,

Just a couple more Q's.

Should I be able to save all of my contacts to my PC and if so HOW?

Can you only beam ONE contact at a time?

Activesync will sync all your contacts with outlook, It will also sync tasks and calendar appointments if you ask it to

I've posted software that will record calls without all that faffing around. I haven't heard if it worked for the poster who requested help yet but I can't see it working for me and not for him
