HI even though i'm new to the forums as in making a profile, im not new to this awesome site!

I'll start off by saying that, im very computer litterate, and that the Cingular HTC 8125 is the first smartphone ive ever bought, so please take alittle pity on me as im coming from one of the dumbest basic kyocera phone's, to a phone thats still in the top spots of all smartphones :)

1) I slid a sim-card that I bought off of ebay(t-mobile) into the sim slot of wizard, and pressed the power button. When coming on it almost goes to the start(today) screen, but skips right to this white screen asking for sim unlock code, and I thought that maybe the numbers on the sim cards CARD would unlock it but no sucess. So ofcourse i came here, seeing on the front page of a program called LOCKIWIZ?
-Could you explain how to do this, as in setting up then executeing, in the most simple as you can get it, not be rude, but me just having this phone for a day, i dont know what things like HKey/System/tools...whatever means yet:rolleyes:

3) Could this ActiveSync program possible fix these problems, or other necessities?

4) Since I knew that I was getting this for christmas, I went, and got prepared to use this phone to its potential. So I went found lots of freeware apps.

Total Commander
Calculator98
Arithmetic
VBirthday
Taskmanager
The Core Pack Media Player
Pocket Encarta
Magic Button
MyMoney
XnView player-camera
Winrar
And 2 strategy games; Warring states, and crimson fields
- all of these apps/games, are already on a disk

Will all of these programs fit on a 1gb Mini SD Card?
Will the zip program, I saw in the phones menu help compress?
Which of these programs do you recommend I keep, and/or get rid of?
If any what the better equivalents of some of these programs?

BTW, what's the most simplistic way as to getting these program on to the phone through activesync or will their be instructions/tutorials to guide you?

5) Are we charger for Wi-FI Internet?

In case needed:
ROM: 2.25.11.1 WWE
OS 5.1.195

Sorry for the really long list of questions, but im sure that this thread will many others. And if theirs any of those 4-5 star "Stickys" that I missed sorry, cause I saw that their were about 250 pages!

Thank You!
Merry Christmas(XMAS):D

ActiveSync its used to sincronize elements PC<->PDA, it includes outlook elements (mail, contacts, etc), MS office documents, and other stuff, this can be done manually or automatically... i think it can't solve the unlok problem but anyway it is necessary to install it to work properly with the pda...

Will all of these programs fit on a 1gb Mini SD Card?YES... I think programs don't take too much space in memory card, mine is full due to some videos, music and those stuff... no problem with programs...

Will the zip program, I saw in the phones menu help compress?YES but it depends on the file type you requiere to compress; music and videos (big files) doesn´t change too much when compressed... but txt, docs and others get better rates...

Which of these programs do you recommend I keep, and/or get rid of?
If any what the better equivalents of some of these programs?There are lot of options, but freeware is a good option, the progs in list are normally included in custom roms but there are a lot more to test...

BTW, what's the most simplistic way as to getting these program on to the phone through activesync or will their be instructions/tutorials to guide you?Normally you can install them with activesync from the desktop but I think you will prefer to get the cab and install progs directly on the phone...

5) Are we charger for Wi-FI Internet?Not sure what you ask but wifi usage is the same than using a laptop... depend on the provider... some are free, some are restricted to suscribers...

I can't help about unloking because i bought my cingular SIM unlocked...

Thank You very much jorgejs!!!

Youve really helped, and thanks for posting!

Im already getting more experienced with my My WIZARD!

like today I amazingly unlocked it! so it could work with my t-mobile SIM, and i've only had it for 2 days :)

Now I plan to try and upgrade my phone to WM6!, eventhough i dont see anything wrong with WM5?

But my memory card still wont "install" itself, eventhough I bought a USB Sync cable today, and uploaded a few apps?

Well thanks again
If their were a rep system i'd +rep:cool:
