I read online that there is a big storm coming. It has already caused some damage in OZ and is expected to deepen as it crosses the Tasman. Ready for another wet weekend?

I is got my C901!! So far very happy with it, great thin compact candybar, great for txting and taking random pics. Love the Xenon flash.
Can anyone please help out with this? I'm trying to get Google maps running, but keep getting a "Network Unavailable" message saying
"This application requires a data connection. Please contact your network operator, or visit www.google.com/gmm/configure.html on your computer for more info"
I've tried the google site, which downloads an update for web browser, but no success. Anyone have any ideas?
Also, I can't figure out how to top-up my prepay account via credit/debit card. Not sure if this is particularly to do with the C901 or something else, but any help would be great.  |

Congrats! Post some pics
If the phone is an import then you'll need to down load some network settings from the  website. Try the NZ support page for your phone first but I have a feeling you won't find anything for C901 there so try the C903 support page as well. Do you have a data portion to your prepay plan?
Are you on Vodafone or 2Degrees? If Vodafone, you'll need to log in to My Vodafone for credit card payments.

Pics will be up as soon as I learn how to take decent pics 
I tried downloading the settings from the Singapore C901 site, which seemed to be ok as it had NZ and then Vodafone in the drop down menus. But no luck so far.
I'll try the NZ site now.
As for prepay, I'm with Vodafone. And as for My Vodafone, I registered for that a few months back. I forgot my password, so I keep getting a new one sent to my phone...which never works  So I gave up on that. |

Actually this is where I'm going for network settings. Is this right?
The strange thing is that I can do a web search using the web browser all fine and dandy, just google maps won't work 
EDIT: Do I require a data portion for my prepay account to be able to use google maps?

Hey dude, try using this:
http://www.vodafone.co.nz/help/device-support/sony-ericsson/
It isn't up to date, but the K850i settings should work absolutely fine. It is what I used to set up my import C902.
And congratulations on the new phone! I look forward to seeing a few pictures.
EDIT: Last time I tried using the SE website to do my settings, it didn't work at all. So yeah, I wouldn't use that.
Oh and carkitter, it's already pouring with rain here. I guess the storm has hit!

Yes, that's relevant. I'd try the GPRS setting first then one of the Gateways if that doesn't work.
If you have a problem with My Vodafone, give Voda a call on 777. It'll cost you $1 for the call but c'est la vie...

I remeber when the asia pacific forum only had about 5 topics that were bumped to the new posts page everyday. Right now, all those free wap tutorials in engrish are bumping our little thread right down near the bottom. Maybe they should just have 1 thread, in proper english, on all the free wap tricks, or maybe their phone company will realise and fix it.
Anyways, did I mention I got a new monitor? aoc f22. Its full HD but only 21", but thats fine with me. Works great with windows 7 and with ps3 using a DVI>HDMI cable. Very good for $230

Sounds good! I reckon 21" is about all you need for a computer monitor. Might as well hook it up to a TV if you're gonna go bigger!

21" is plenty big enough, even 18" is pretty luxurious as far as screen real estate goes.
I'm pretty happy with my Vaio even though its 14.1" is a little tight sometimes. I can see me keeping this long term and my next computer will probably be a DIY desktop project.
Anyone notice Vodafone are advertising C903 for $499 ($379 on contract)?
