Thanks for the Wi-Fi sharing info!
And with regards to the comment about the lack of a torch; SE doesn't enable the torch option whenever there's a cover over the lamp.
I presume this is because they haven't added any code to check if the lens cover is open before activating the torch (so it would say 'open lens cover'). If the torch remained on with the cover on, it would get very hot (it's quite surprising just how hot the flash LEDs can get).

I'm at least glad I'm not the only one with some of these problems.
Are there any alternatives to using Wayfinder? Does Garmin or TomTom have anything that will work on the C905?
Someone said Trekbuddy but that was too complicated for me and plus I don't care if the maps have to be downloaded as I got a unlimited data plan. |

I reflashed my phone a couple of days ago and it installed carphone warehouse navigator on it as well as the other one? |

Trekbuddy is a bit of a pain to set up and its still only GPS at the end of it, not sat nav.
For a free fully-featured Sat Nav ap (you do need a data bundle) then try AmazeGPS. That works on my phone though I still have yet to test it in the car.

Can anyone else stream media, e.g. from m.youtube.com, using WiFi connection?
I've tried with Opera 4.2, Vtap and the SE built in browser, but nothing works. It tries to connect to media server for a while and then says that it cannot connect to the media server.
Everything else works ok on the phone, e.g. surfing and downloading etc. There are no problems streaming media on my computers connected to the same network. |

Quite impressed with Amaze GPS its better than the old Tom Tom I had on my Windows Mobile device and for all I really use my GPS/Mapping for its great, only disappointment is that there seems to be little coverage for satellite maps ala Google Maps, |

Right, so on a WiFi connection it all works fine for me: doesn't need to go through a proxy. If I use the Vodafone "internet" APN, it tries to cache all the information using their "transparent(!)" proxy and therefore doesn't work.
Do you have an "Allow Local Connection" on your internet settings? |

Yes, I've got both my internet and streaming settings set to 'yes' for "Allow Local Connection". I don't use any proxy.
This problem is quite annoying... and everything else works so well.... |

I can stream youtube without issue on mine over WiFi.
Also, I got the TV Out cable yesterday, it won't show video, but it does show pictures at least, but skews them towards the left of the screen instead of fullscreen which I don't get. So overall the cable is a disappointment.
I also got the Camera Phone Kit IPK-100, this works as advertised, the phone BARELY fits into the case though(which I will never use anyways). |

I've got the IPK-100, I find the case useful for storing all the stuff that came with the IPK, it fits perfectly! |

not impressed by R1BA042..Too many white spots on pictures with flash, maybe a bug of the firmware ,because with previous one i wasnt facing any problems like this.. |

That's not a firmware issue, it's just dust reflecting back the flash. |

This has been discussed a couple of times by now and as pointed out above it is not a bug, but a photographic phenomena called orb.

hi guys
can someone tell me if you set an alarm, and the phone is switched off, does the phone start and play the alarm like the nokias?
Thanks |
