Hiya Just joined this forum seems like a great resource. Altho not sure i understand evrything.

I have just emigrated from the UK to Australia and brought my trusty Orange branded spv m700 with me.

Went out today and bought myself a 3 network SIM card, which clearly didnt work as phone was still locked. DL'd the unlocking tool from here and managed to unlock phone no problem at all so now my 3 SIM card works. :)

having read some of the posts i understand that the GPS will not work and i need to flash the ROM with a GPS enabled one (GPS would be handy as i have been here 1 week and got lost sooooo many times already i think Tom Tom is going to be required). This is where my trouble starts i have nfi which one i should use.

Atm i have WM 5 on it.....will it run WM6 ok??

should i be using an australian version, wwe or cooked??

All i really need is to get gps working and make sure everything else still works on the Australian 3 network.

thanks in advance for any help and advice, sure i will have some more questions soon enough

You should install another radio version. I will post in in a few hours here is you want. The version is 1.56. If you are pleased with the phone you have no reason to change the software. WM6 works. I have WM 6.1 and the g77's rom. It's a pretty nice one. All works. The only thing with it is that you don't have control volume during a call. With the original software that you have do you have control of the volume during a call?
I don't have it for a very long time but I think it's a nice phone.
