i see...... they think we are not smart enough to modify our phones. this is a offtopic comment, but i have to say it. i went to a mobile shop and i asked to the guy from the shop for the W300 specs, i know the specs, and he told me that the W300 camera is a 2mp camera. i got  and i asked it twice but if kept saying the same. i started to think that we are attended by stupid ppl

Only the left part of the keypad seem to be assembled not very accurate.
I was able to fix it by myself. After pressing the lower left key (*) strongly to the left, the left inner key-panel engaged completely in the housing with a loud click. |

I think I've mentioned to you before that you've got nothing to worry about when it comes to x1387
it takes 2-3 working days for me to transfer funds home to Australia so I expect its about the same to US
I always pay x1387 with paypal as its immediate

I always pay with paypal BUT he would not accept it from my country, Spain.
I have been buying for years all over the net and using Paypal, but he said "no", and there was only the bank transfer he accepted.Actually I did not want to do it, but after some mails, I trusted him.
That makes Friday-Monday-Tuesday

if you sent the money on Friday then you don't count that day, so probably tomorrow or latest tursday they should have it.
just have a little patience with these sort of transactions, especially from trusted traders

i flashed my w880i using wotan:

CX1250640

First impressions:
1. there's now an option to download service provider settings by going to Setting-General-Setup wizard-Settings download
2. All pre-defined settings under Connectivity, such as Data Communication, Internet and Streaming settings are now removed and default as per settings of my service provider.
3. 3G signal is consistent
4. "My shortcuts" still slow when moving an item.
Just ask me your concerns re this firmware and will be glad to answer them.
Great news about the 3G signal! I've noted that my W880i drops 3G way more often than with my K800i, same operator/SIM. I've just accepted it since handover works like a charm these days, however it annoys me when I wanna use WAP and check my mail. With my K800i it is extremely rarely that the 3G handover to GSM, the W880i does it very often.
Did you experience the same? Anybody else?
So now the annoying wait is here for a firmware update, I'm a cheap bastard and won't give Wotan 7 Euros

I can have full bars, turn on browser when in my apartment and seconds later it jumps over to GSM. That NEVER happens on same spots with my K800i.
So either, software is wang, hardware/radiochip is smaller/weaker due to phone size or I have a faulty unit. The latter I doubt, phone works like a charm without any oddities, exept for this handover then...

Got mine!
One week ago I got my w880i unbranded. I'm from Italy and H3G is good here though I use only gsm.
Battery lasts for 7-8 days with normal usage: calls, no video-calls, sms, blogging, on-off and quadrapop .
It is less than my previous w800i, but really thin. It's a matter of taste. 
Loudspeaker is horrible (both compared to 6288 and w800i) but in such a small space you can't have a regular one.
Video-calls are smooth, media player works much better than w800i even if I don't use disc2phone and I don't know how to place jpg's covers.
I have small hands so no problem at all with buttons. T9 is better than ever suggesting next word even before typing it! 
I use roaming from 3 ISP, so signal sometimes is weaker than a pure GSM signal. I tried with both 3 ISP (h3g) and TIM ISP (gsm) in the same place and it gains 2 bars.
When in charging C, task selector and right buttons stays on.
No software update available here, yet.
Firmware version is CXC1250640 - R1JC002 - 070122.
Games: quadrapop
Headphones: HPM-70
Color: Satin Black-Red
I have a question: Is there anyone who got a flash MXE-60 and tried it with this cellphone?
IMHO: the best concept phone ever made. The lack of a good camera is not important as calls are most. In-flight mode works as usual. Battery duration is a record (why not a 1100mah?). Blogging is funny (http://yakkosview.blogspot.com). Size let you feel free and I love the soft touch of the red part.

Hi. I'm new here, and I have a question. I own w880i from 3 days ago and I have this problem: at some contacts I can put separate ringtones, but there are a few with this problem: even if I fix a melody, the phone rings with default melody. How can I fix this?
