spv-m700

thanks
Hi
it was free !!! can you believe it, with orange contract for £25 a month,
just tried the orange sat nav from webraska ( www.webraska.com, they have an orange part to their website)
but GPRS coverage is rubbish where I live ( 50 miles from the start of the industrial revolution, I get better coverage in Morocco)
the orange sat nav update the maps constantly as you drive, but stops when signal is bad , just when you need it, so it looks like tom tom for me.
GPS gets a fix with 5 sats when I am in my living room, I have 4 different other GPS and none will even get a fix next to the window, very impressive
the beadster
just to add,
most of the orange shops got them on friday afternoon ( in UK)
I rang 150 for orange upgrade, they said delivery Tuesday, but I couldn't wait that long, so first shop I rang ( Crewe) had two in stock,
also
on orange upgrade via phone they only wanted a 12 month contract but in the shop it was 18months, I wasn't going to walk out of the shop without it, so signed for 18.

i am in uk this coming weekend where can i buy at the best price sim free ?
Nice to see orange took their time and have the gps all in the rom waiting for you. If the black version of the M700 is wear resistant your wait will be well worth it.
what version is the rom, radio & bootloader?
can u do us a dump of the rom, please?
can you point me to a thread , with some instructions, I haven't the time to surf to it and read loads of stuff,
the Beadster
Ok,
ROM is 1.23.61.5
radio is 1.30.00.01
rom is dated 25 jan 07
model number is TRIN100
the beadster

An easier way for some (especially those of us who don't use ActiveSync like Mac users ) may be to launch Orange World, and in your IE favourites you will find a bookmark for Orange Sat Nav... you can download the software there (2.1MB)....
I have done so, and launched it, however I don't seem to be connecting to a satellite when attempting... any ideas anyone?
Cool but...
Why did I wake up and go to work so late today ?

Hmmmm... could be to do with the fact I was indoors on the 1st floor of a 30 storey office block?!
Worked perfectly outdoors though! D'Oh!
I have been waiting months for Orange to produce this phone but before I go ahead and buy, I'd really like to hear from new purchasers about the various glitches that have bedevilled the P3600:
1) Can it take 4Gb memory cards without chewing the information on them?
2) Can it handle mp3 files without eliminating the bass frequencies?
3) Does the phone work OK with a Bluetooth headset?
It would also be handy to know if anyone else bar Beadster has managed to buy it with a £25/m contract (BTW thanks for the info), so I can quote this in our local branch.
Ta muchly,
Verdi

Can you post the link for the Orange Sat Nav?
Although I have access to Orange World, because I didn't buy the device from Orange, I don't have the link stored in my favourites.
Thanks KAHA fot the precious link !!!!!
Nobody seems to have had a look at this link but they should have had!
I'm going to test it right now!!!

Does imate pocket pc edition support GPS system, and what about 3G ...?
Pls let me know, and thanks for ur replying
not sure what you are asking but you can get gps for most pda's
some have it build in 3g is a whole different thing as it is a way to get data from ones cellphone provider nok to get location as to where one is located
you dont mention what imate device you use which makes it imposible to answer your question thouh
Hi, i am looking at buying an o2 XDA MINI S and using it with my pay as you go simcard, it is a relativly new simcard (6months old) And i am just wondering if all of the features wil still work with it ?
THanks for any replys,
Cosstick
EDIT: I Also want to use the xda mini s with memorymap or tomtom/garmin gps, is this possible with a Payasyougo simcard ?
It has all the features that a contract XDA Mini S would have, but you need different settings for GPRS/MMS
and GPS will work aslong as you get a reciever for it.
What are these ? could you provide a link to one that would be suitable ?
And what do they do ?
thanks
i have
http://www.techfocus.co.uk/pages/pr...clid=CODPus_7zI4CFQESEgodv0pvAA&cookie_test=1
that one and it works fine..
it is what gets the signals from the satelittes and transmits it to your gps software on the pda.
i use it with TomTom and works good
So if i have understood correctly, this connects to the xda via bluetooth, and allows the phone to recieve the gps signals ?
thats not a bad price either,
does it sync with the software alright ? or is there alot of setting up to do ?
youve understood correctly
well i understand that if you want to use other bluetooth devices like headsets etc then you have to configure the onboard GPS redirection thing.
however i just use the gps, so it was easy..
took about 5 minutes first try to get a signal.. 1 minute now...(if that)

Im not 100% sure on this but I think the Traffic plus option is only available in Europe. I wanted to use this option also but I read on the manual / booklet that it is not available in the US. Im using Tom Tom Navigator 6. I dont know if it makes much of a difference.
ok i dled destinator 6 and in the options i go to set gps signal, it does not seem to find my antena which i bought for this device (t-mobile mda20 the destinator rogram works, including all the maps, its just ever since i upgraded to wm 6 or 6.1 i cannot seem to activate the gps option? is there something i have to set in the registry to enable gps detection? i plug tyhe antenna in the back of my ppc in the little port hole, to the right of the camera hole. and well if there is a way to make the ppc detect the gps antenna i would appriciate you guys telling me how? maybe a driver that i need, may be registry code i need, maybe dif gps program will work.
PLEASE HELP
thank you
mike szalajko
also i need help with gprs
well the thi ng is i use the ppc as cell phone, i put my tmobile card in it and the phone works, but i cannot use internet or you know like msn or anything, why is there anything i can do to use internet if i have a tmobile card in the ppc and use it as cell phone, how? maybe i could even use it to run on destinator , kind of like a cell phone connection gps
