I've some problems with my Orange SPV M2000 (XDAIIs/Qtek 9090).

Firstly, can someone please let me know what is the correct name for this unit (Wallaby / Himalaya / blue Angel/ Other)?

More importantly, the battery clip on the unit is useless and the battery often falls out (it's now held in with sticky tape and I've bought a new clip in case which helps).

The most important issue is that every time the battery falls out the unit re-boots back to factory default settings, losing all the settings, saved text messages and last calls list (I've got my contacts, calendar & tasks in a SD card). It then does the usual Windows set-up screen (point to the corners & centre followed by the cut and paste). This is even with the internal LiOn barrey fully charged.

It should not re-boot as the phone is provided with a spare battery and the 1st one of these handsets did not do this (before it was damaged and replaced under Orange insurance).

Is this a common fault?
Is there a BIOS upgrade available and what benefits does it offer?
What are useful upgrades to this unit (i've only added KBattery so far)

Thanks for any assistance.

The M200 is known as an blue angel.

About the reset problem:
You should charge the phone untill it says that both batteries are full. And then charge it for another 3 hours. Because it often says that the backupbattery is full, but it isn't. So if you charge it for about 3 hours longer it should be full.

If after that, it still does a factory reset, when your main batt. is empty the backupbatt. is broken. You could replace it yourself when you have no more warranty. (you have to be able to solder a bit).
If you have warranty, send it in.
