Quick question for any techies amongst you.

I am using an o2 sim on my lobster now. Apparently all o2 contracts have 512kb download allowance (per month) included with it costing £3 per mb after that. How far will this get me and is there any way of checking on the phone how many kb used? My old phone didn't have internet access so I never really thought about it at all before. Was thinking about using msn messenger on it to check hotmail. But if it's exhorbitant, might avoid.

There's a freeware tool out there. Saw it yesterday. Can't recall what it's called but it tells you exactly how much you've used, spent etc.

Thanks for the help guys.

found the problem. all of my contacts were in the SIM and not on the phone.

Nice one BoydE. Very Helpful. Thanks for going to the trouble of showing the screenshot.

HOW DO YOU DO THAT? I vaguely remember that it's Alt/Shift/ print Screen or something similar. ANYONE??

Seems to be OK now. Cheers.:)



Edit: It worked on one phone, but NOT ON THE OTHER???

Copied contacts into outlook and then plugged other phone in, synced but contacts not showing under 'Information Type'

Just as before Calender, Email, Tasks,& favourites. How do I get contacts into this list?

Is there somewhere on the Lobby that I need to change settings?

Phew, got it working AND NOW BOTH lOBBYS HAVE THE SAME CONTACTS INFO (Oops Caps)

Anyone else get stuck with this prob, PM me.

It was in the SYNC settings.:)

Just found out something.

Place all of your ringtones in the 'My Documents' folder on the storage Card.
They work.

(If you don't have one then creat it sans Caps.)

Would anyone who purchased two of the Navman GPS devices be prepared to pass one on to a fellow MSE-er ? Half total cost plus postage ? Shouldn't cost much to post one (?).

Still hoping to be lucky...

Any help appreciated.

But can anyone tell me what I need to do with XML files?


I have downloaded a few apps that come in this form but I dont know how to use/install them





This is what I'm trying to install.

Drop the whole downloaded cab file into my documents, then navigate to it on your phone, start it from there. Dont concern yourself with XML files, something to do with programing language.

Did you install to your phone and not the storage card, if you have one? Try removing program and reinstalling, sounds like something else is running at the same time. When you say slow, in what way? Mine's working great.
