Newbie Here!

Hi Everybody!

I'm a newbie here and just wanted to say Hi!

Hopefully , I will get my MDA Vario tomorrow, it is locked to T Mobile (UK) and I hope to unlock it for my o2 SIM.

Currently I have a Nokia 3230.

What do you use your MDA Vario for and what are your dislikes about this model of PDA/phone?

Hello and welcome, you will certainly enjoy using your new vario and this site will certainly help you make the most of it.

I travel ALOT with work so I use it to keep in touch with family / friends by using the WLAN at airports and using Agile Messenger to connect to MSN / ICQ and Yahoo.

I also use the camera to take snaps of any interesting places I see on on my travels so I can then send them to my wife and kids back home.

I purchased a 1gb mini sd on ebay for around 12 pounds so that I can use TomTom and the various maps that are available. Oh, and also I use it as a phone! Sometimes you forget how many things this phone is capable of, but the the phone is certainly one of its strong points. As it is quad band I can use it in Europe, Asia and America so I dont need to keep changing handsets everytime I go away on business.

Oh, and for when my flight is delayed, there is always Windows Media player for your favourite mp3's or audiobooks, and of course the excellent games that are also available.

You will not be dissapointed!! Enjoy!

Hi Nmonger and thanks for your reply!

I've puchased a 1gb mini sd card too.
My current phone has tomtom on it, so I've copied the files onto my PC and hope that I can transfer them to my PDA when it arrives.

I read an article on here which says you can flash the ROM, do I need to do this on mine?

PS. I'd love to see some of your photography and I am a photographer!

You old nokia is a symbian phone. I doubt the same tomtom will work on your new Wizard.

i received my xda mini on monday, so far ive surfed the net, sent emails, sms messages, taken photos, played music and played around with MSWord - connected it to my wireless network, active synced loads of games and apps onto it - ive just bought a 2gig minisd card and bluetooth headset for around £50 from moby (based on a recomendation frmo here)

Thank you for all your replies!

Glad to hear that your getting the most from your PDA/phone.

I wish I knew where to get the cards from, I got a 1 gig from ebay, cost £22 inc delivery.

I'll give the tomtom a try as it doesn't look like it is the original tomtom card (if you know what I mean :wink: )

So, do I need to flash my ROM or as a newbiw, won't I notice any difference? Not that I'm sure why I should "flash my Rom", but it sounds good LOL

I use my Nokia phone for my business and the satnav is good, but I find it very slow with the Symbian software.

Thanks again for ALL you replies

Cheers,

Scutter

I want to upgrade too and they told me it wipes it. Theres no way I'm going through the hassle of losing all my data and settings. Took me ages to get it how I like it!

[molski]

W..W...We...Welcome Stutter :P,

You're damn right it just sounds cool to Flash your Rom, but what's way cooler is the difference you notice in speed and stuff like that with new Roms instead of (most) of the Stock Roms.
Don't hastitate with questions, everyone here is at your service ;)


Regards,

Molski

Hi Everybody!!!

I just got mine today.
I have managed to unlock the sim, but can't seem to "flash my ROM"
I get an error message stating that it is not been able to upgrade the "RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship"

Am I doing something wrong?

Also does anybody know how to get the o2 pay as you go MMS and GRPS settings?

Cheers,

Scutter
