hey guys, the phone i just bought was from a guy who had it as a free upgrade from orange. However, the device has orange markings on it and it is bronze, does mean it is one of the few that don't come simlocked and no branded software? |

I've managed to snap one of these up on an Orange upgrade. Very happy with it so far although I haven't had much of a play as of yet. One thing I've noticed, I can't find wayfinder on it. The only option under 'location services' is orange maps which is unavailable at the moment.
Any other Orange users found this?
I've found amazegps which works free of charge apparently. Anyone any experience of using that?

Are you sure it's totally free of charge? Usually operators will still charge you for the data connection required by GPS, and to some people it may not be a bang for the buck. |

the maps are free, but you have to pay for data usage.

Back to a question I asked a few pages back, can you get GPS software with preloaded maps? (like nokia maps) |

^more different types of apps
you can also try nav4all,i dont know if many of these applications work with sony ericsson's
lataz all
edit:
ive been going throught trekbuddy quite abit now..and it seems to be the best application for offline/preloaded maps
you can make your own maps too - one of the applications features - you could call it a feature..
just go through the forums of the first link i gave for trekbuddy
and also use this one too

If you check the C905 shots taken with an INNOV8 I posted a few pages back, you can also see that the INNOV8 now takes very good indoor shots. Any idea of what happened to C905's camera unit? Don't tell me it's yet another rushed product...
Dude, please, the C905 takes great pics and the firmware is rock solid, nothing happened to the camera unit, it's better out of the gate then any camera SE has ever put out, period. I have taken 400 pics and they're great. |

Haven't tried it myself but from what I saw and heard, I think it has the most balanced camera amongst the 8MP-touting boys. Was just saying that I'm surprised by the quality of INNOV8's cam on those photos (which are, ironically, of a C905).
In fact I'm waiting for its price to settle down a bit!  |

If you want a fully featured Symbian smartphone, the i8510 is the best S60 device you're going to get. It takes excellent photos in good light, reasonable ones in low light - and not very good ones in very, very low light (the LED isn't strong enough to light very far). It also records excellent video and can play DivX video.
But, the C905 is an excellent non-smartphone (although it does multitask, so in many respects it's just as good if you're not really bothered about the huge library of applications or opening and editing documents). I do wish SE would develop a simple document reader, as Samsung and LG have done on their non-smartphones. If you could open a .doc, .xls or .pdf then I think many people would be quite happy without a smartphone at all!

By the way...don't know if you've come across this app...I hadn't...it's called Moby Today and it puts your diary and tasks on the homescreen. It's a bit fiddly to set up...but eventually it works great with the C905. Handy to have your diary events updating where you can see them easily. You get a 20 day trial then it costs $8-ish. Works well.

Just to let you know...I paid for this app by PayPal and have had no response from the seller....no registration code..and no response to emails asking where it is.
Just to warn you...it's a nice app but I may have just wasted $8. Anyone had any contact with them?

The site doesn't appear to have been updated in ages, so I wonder if they're still supporting it or developing it?

Wouldn't mind getting a registration code...the trial runs out in two days!
And there was certainly no problem in them accepting a PayPal payment!
