It's only early WnW standard customers who have HSDPA available. My contract started nearly a year ago and I definitely did not have that lovely little H on the top of my screen (as per the Ts n Cs), upgraded to WnW Pro and that sorted it!

Paul is correct over the frequencies (assuming equal basestation placement and transmitting power), there is also further granularisation when you take 3G into account too. Personally, coming from 3 I've found T-Mobiles coverage horribly patchy, and also suffer from 3-4 bars HSDPA to 1 bar/no signal GSM only at the windows once inside (seriously I swear my flat has lead lined walls, even going into the next room to the router, sitting on the other side of the wall, is enough to drain 1/2-1/3 of the signal power)!

I've tried SIMs from all the top 4 carriers inside and confirmed the penetration levels too. O and TMob are next to useless, O2 give me a few bars consistently (with EDGE!), ditto Voda. I'll be going to O2 later in the month. T-Mobile not providing HSDPA on WnW standard is inexcusable imho...

I think the ROM cooking community is what's driving the Omnia's online popularity. Obviously the iPhone similarities and marketing push have helped with the devices penetration into the customer-base, but those more technically orientated owners who have come online for more info, help and options for getting the most out of their device have found several havens of information in our communities.

I'd say it works both ways, and came together nicely for Samsung with the Omnia!

Good to see English (UK) there, personally i prefer the pirate dialect though! Arrr Harrr!

I knew that logo looked familiar!. Wonder if T&M know it's been ripped off!

It kinda got put on the back-burner for a variety of reasons, mostly more pressing stuff that needed doing over the experiment! It's probably worth giving Paul a poke regarding it though, as we had all the necessary kit and packaging ready and all that was needed was a small app to periodically poll the GPS receiver and upload the location! The battery life issue would be worked around by using GSM only and hooking the device up to an external battery pack, that should in theory give a good 3-6 days standby (GPS access aside, of course).

Also - Office2k7 will let you save documents in 2003 format....

USB is dodgy on my JJ too actually! Might have to crack it open myself ;p

Hmm, well the vobs are the raw video streams from the dvd, that includes everything from the film itself to the menu backgrounds and transitions etc. Normally you'd convert the .vob files to avi's using DVD re-encoding software which allows you to select the correct audio stream! (eg English). Off the top of my head I don't know of any, but there will certainly be plenty within a google or two Other than that I think DVD apps like WinDVD can play the actual vobs...

That's pretty awful, they out right admit wifi won't work? Wonder how many people will fall for that one! Not many RJ45 jacks in Starbucks You'd have hoped for a little more than 3hrs standby on such a low-power device too...

Why is that Paul? ;p

OK it will work fine. When you set a static IP did you also set the default gateway and DNS servers on your EEE?

Pretty sure they aren't. Picked up a jap copy of a game off ebay for my girlfriends brother and it worked fine!

I have a couple going spare. First come first served!

Wasn't that fake?

No photos = not real

;p

I still prefer the equally specced and £30 cheaper acer one

Haha, perhaps its worth locking the topic off? ;p

Escort cossie? ;p

You can using Internet Connection Sharing on your Vario III programs list, not sure if it's compatible with linux though!

As the SxS folder takes up a LOT of space, and can avoid any issues that may arise from limited write cycles available on SSD's...

I had a brand new Astra which did not have an arrow, didn't notice the hose though! My Escort does have its hose on the correct side though
