alright bac,
ive had my T637 for a few months. awesome phone. lets talk S710... freaking rogers and their penchant with 850mhz. i dont like the swivel but want it for the looks ill get. you got any place in the GTA who has it unbranded and unlocked.
is there ever any get togethers for SE nuts? as in "lets get drunk as f**k, briefly chat about mobiles, and pick up ladies" nights in toronto? cause everyone i know owns a nokia or sanyo from bell and they look at my T637 and think its something from the distant future.

unfortunately the s710 isnt out yet, i got the chance to play with it for a bit and it was an extremely nice phone, but the paint job was not as sleek as the s700i paint job is, the s710 will be out around december
as for the get togethers i have no idea, but it definetly sounds like afun idea

@ scotsboyuk
Yeah, I have yet to meet any europeans who have been here and disliked it...
@ towson80
I would enjoy that a lot...but your best bet for info would be westmini as he is in the same area as you...I'm in Montreal ;o)
As far as the s710 goes, you can buy it online, haven't heard of any stores that would have it...you can always check little asian-owned independant electronics/cell phone stores...found a couple in Montreal and they have a different selection than Fido/Rogers
@ satcho
if you don't like it, don't read it...nice way to introduce yourself btw...

i was trying to make a funny.

Posted by uwomike
Here I go . . .
I purchased a K700 in Hong Kong in July, not aware that Rogers ran a 850/1900 network. As a result (of the phone's 800 network setting) my phone gets pretty lousy reception indoors. The battery life slowly improved but is still not that great.
I now go to school in Michigan and it seems that the American/AT&T network is more powerful as I get better signal outdoors, but my indoor reception is still pretty crappy.
Furthermore, I took my phone to Bongo Wireless in Markham (just off of Hwy 7) to get a firmware update, but they said for some reason my phone would not accept it. (I purchased an unocked phone). They said they had never seen the issue and encouraged me to come back at a later date to try again. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance yet.
Not sure what I am getting at, but I thought I would share my experience with the phone. I love the menu and find the interface easy and intuitive. That being said, had I known the reception would be so mediocre, I would not have bought the phone.
Does anyone know another GTA location where I might be able to flash my phone? Has anyone ever had similar problems?
Thanks,
MMS

@towson80 For getting drunk with mobile geeks
There is the other forum (howardforum.com) where they have such regular events in Toronto and other major cities.
@uwomike K700 flash, just purchase a DSS-20 or DSS-25 and do the flash yourself via the SE website. Usually a customized K700 will not accept anything but the same customization (if a newer version is available). If you bought your phone from a provider (despite being never locked), that might be your problem.

Hey guys, I hear that City Fido should be in Montreal in November...anyone else heard of this? Thanks
Posted by westmini
fido eh...im still trying to figure out whether or not rogers has actually bought fido...i read they have, then the next post they havent..so on. so forth
@ bacanito sry bud, dont know the answer to your question
Posted by bacanito
@ west
no worries man, I just heard it was for nov 17th, but nothing official has been confirmed...I bet it's just a matter of time before ESTOR gives us more info, he seems to know a lot of stuff
Posted by ESTOR
Thank you. I just "seem to know a *little bit* about everything", as my friends like to say
Rogers has an offer on the table to buy up Fido. That offer is open until this Friday (or there about). It's up to Fido shareholders to decide whether they want to sell, and they are expected to accept the offer. Then there is still government approvals to be sought, which have just been granted as of Nov 3.
So roaming between Fido and Rogers may happen before the new year
As for CityFido in Montreal... don't know!
============
EDIT: as it turns out, Rogers/Fido roaming is happening right away... starting Nov 9.

Yay! City Fido now in Montreal, and we also get to use Rogers' network free for 3 months...but migrating to the city fido plan will cost you 50$ in admin fees, and will only start @ the beginning of your next billing cycle...
Posted by bacanito
Have any of you ever understood why with Fido, the price of a P910 (regular price) is the same as a P800? Or that the P800 is still available for purchase when the P900 is not? I don't know...doesnt make much sense to me...
Posted by ai3_5star
Hey wasssup...just got a question regarding reception for the S700 on the FIDO network. How is it? Any problems?? Im thinking of getting one, but i've heard the reception is kinda sketchy. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Posted by bacanito
I dont know that there would be any problems...the network determines the reception, not the actual phone...with Fido, it would depend what area you're in...I'm in Montreal, have a P800 and don't have any reception problems...
And welcome to Esato

@ raver4444
Fido sells it, but it would be locked...and have you tried the TelePlus stores? Theres on in Place Montreal Trust, they usually sell unlocked phones...
@assmonkey
im not sure why you would want to buy it from Canada, but you can always check out www.cellulord.com, it's operated by a former ESATO member...

Gooday!
I am in Costa Rica and trying to set up my phone to access email and messages from Canada. I can only get signed on as a guest on yahoo and AOL and Hotmail come back with a message the page is too large?? Who has online WAP or mobile email with a good interface for phones?
In Canada I am with Fido and have the unlimited GPRS which works well with my computer. Same problem I never got my email to work there either! but I did not try very hard. Here in the rainforest I don't want to carry my computer with me all the time.
I noticed most of you are sending messages to other countries, how do you enter international numbers?? mine only seems to want to take area code and number. The country code for Costa Rica is the same as New Brunswick...
Cheers, Pura Vida
Posted by bacanito
@ CostaRicaSteve
Hola, como estamos?
Well, im not really big on checking emails from my mobile, but for hotmail, you might wanna try using https://www.mymail.ie/mymail/home.asp i believe, you can set up all 3 addresses(i think aol too, but yahoo and hotmail for sure) and access your messages like that...
Read more about this here--->>http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=62555
As far as internation dialing goes, you want to enter your numbers in the following format, in the case of a New-Brunswick #, you would enter +1506xxxxxxx...
+ for international
1 is the country code for Canada and the U.S
506 is the area code
the rest is the person's number...
For a CostaRican #, you would do +506 and the number...
Ojala esto te ayude un poco

boba recommended me to check here too. any input would be great.
Posted by bacanito
hey jwy, sorry, i really have little knowledge when it comes to headsets...wish I could help...my only advice is that unless you have any type of knowledge/experience in what goes on in there, pay what it costs for a pro to do it, or if its too expensive, get a new one...Sorry can't be of much help on this one...
Posted by AsiaticTT
The problem that you are having Anna, really depends on the network. There is not much that you can do about that.
BTW, im in Montreal.

Hiya,
I have a 802SE, I want to use it in Vancouver, BC. Probably with Fido or Rogers I suppose. Anyways I wish to use text messaging on this phone. I 'think' that with a stock 802SE(branded to voda) you can not change any of the mail settings, so I'd probably have to flash it to an unbranded firmware so I can enter in the server settings. Does this sound correct? As of yet this is my plan but I have not done this yet.
I think it would kind of suck to get this phone and it can't even send text messages. Forgive my lack of knowledge on such things!
rtl
Posted by bacanito
As far as text messaging goes, dont you simply have to change the sms service center #? And I'm pretty sure that number is pre-configured on your SIM card...then again I might be wrong, I'm not a firmware whiz...
Posted by cam'ron
IF the data account is locked to the carrier you may be screwed with trying to use mms. I know that, for some reason, Fido locks the data account. Someone had the phone unlocked from them but there was no way to unlock the data account. Btw, I work for SE, so if anyone has any questions. Feel free to ask.
Btw, first time posting!!

Welcome to Esato!
So you work @ SE? Where do they have offices? Where are you from?
Posted by cam'ron
I work at their customer care in London. It is the only centre in NA.
Just to let you know, a lot of this rumour stuff does not get to us at all.
We aren't give any rumours or secret info here, unfortunately. Sorry if you were hoping I knew about these rumoured phones such as p915.
Posted by ESTOR
For SE phone from Fido, although the data account is locked, you can create a new data account and WAP profile. That's how I got around to disable graphic display for WAP pages. But for Vodafone, I think they lock down everything. Flashing can remove the customization.
Oh... customer care... I called to complain about the flashlight attachment I bought for T610, which doesn't flash. They gave me a number to call in the 905 area code. That went directly to someone's voicemail @ Selectron(sp.) Have been waiting for a call back since February. LOL.

Ok, this might sopund stupid to you guys, but here it is.
I own a n gage qd and I am with Fido here in British Columbia.
I managed to get internet on the n gage, but I cant get email or on line with the games through arena.
I have tried pop3.fido.ca for incoming mail
smtp.fido.ca for outgoing mail
and gprs.fido.ca or outgoing mail
I can however receive text message from other phones to mine, and I can also receive email from my desk tp to my n gage.
Please help.
