Ok i brought my universal an orange m5000 just before xmas. Got it off ebay for 370 i think. Was a contract unwanted upgrade.

Got it spot on. But was locked no prob orange unloced it for me for 20 pound. Am a o2 user myself.

Had lot probs with it orange kept baring me. Not bad in the end the seller got a new phone sent to me from orange. Nice man. So becareful buying phones off ebay. if the seller wasnt nice id been stuck.

Iv upgraded my system from orange. As the orange os is crap. Now running the latest o2 rom in corp mode 0506. Not bad seems smooth.

I then went on a mission to find a way to close progs. Why on earth they leave it to run stuff in the background i dont know!

Tried Magir Button, seemed nice. But bit buggy for me. Id end not being able to get back to the desktop or getting the phone screen to go away.

Am currently running wisbar, wow lovely software. You can close stuff with it and what a lovely start menu u get. Using the latest beta version. Uming and arrring about it though. It slows the startbar down. I press start and have to wait 4-5 seconds. WIthout the bar its umm instant.

But I have having recent progs being displayed. Wisbar gives you the option to hide them, it also shows every prog u have.

Oh and resco is the way to go. Currenting using a very nice keyboard from resco, resco photoviewer replaceing the windows one wow very nice.
Also want resco internet radio and explore. Yet to find those (cough cough).

That my software build not forgeting tcp um movie software.
Am just sad i get the delay with wisbar but it more then makes up for it by closing down apps and having a nice prog menu. Anyone found a real good prog for closing down progs?

Also anyone mention any prog which they cant live without?

theres my story to date

Frankly, I like Magic Button. It works best if you make the Phone application stay open rather than close, but it's unobtrusive, and works really well.

Cheers,

Steve

sorry to say but it was all going well till it went off topic...

Would never get one off ebay since there are to many barred phones being sold there.

Also, you might get an exec there on the cheap but you can kiss that sweet 24 month warranty good bye so don't go being to adventurous with the mods.
