Can you not change the theme like you can on a SPV C500. On the C500 you can remove the Orange bar by putting another theme on the phone.
On a seperate note anyone had any luck synching this with Outlook for names and callander?

I've just received one of these Oranged D500's and although my SL55 says its send the files.. and the d500 does ask if i want to receive them.. i cant find where it goes.. i've sent both a jpg and some midi files to the thing but can't locate them in any of the sections in the "media album" thing. The SL55 has a file system browser but i cant find anything like it on the D500 to browse thru. Also i have looked at the available memory and the value has decreased since recieving the files wich would sugest they are there somewhere.. Can anybody tell me how to find them? Just to clarify they are not in any of the sub headings of the Images,Videos,Music or Sounds options in the "media album"
Thanks
Dan
Edit: How odd, if i send the files from my zaurus a message pops up showing received and the files appear in the media album! so to transfer stuff from the sl55 to the d500 i have to use the zaurus as an intermediate stage! oh well.. isnt technology great!

Hi can anyone tell me what the 6(shortcut) does in camera and record mode on the samsung D500. I tried looking in the manual but i am on orange network and they do the own version of this manual, which is not very good. Could you either email or reply on this forum.
Thanks

Has anybody had any luck installing any Java apps/games on their D500? I've tried over BT and WAP and it always say it is not allowed?!
Is this a) me being stupid (odds on) b) a samsung quirk c) something to do with the Orange software ?! |
