Omi Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Hard reset the thing... Also make sure you're running the latest software version. - Just ask if you need help with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omi Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Try a hard reset anyway... Back up user data, switch off... Hold the two softkeys under the screen while you switch back on, then press 0 when prompted. - This will resolve any software-based problems you have... After that, phone customer services and they'll either replace it for you or refer it to me. - PM me your number and I'll sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omi Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Funny story, but I didn't... I didn't pay for the HP iPAQ 6340 it was in either. Obtained by legitimate means, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustynuts Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 I just ordered some memory for a nokia 6230i and also for my PDA from these guys, Mobymemory. Seems like a decent sort of price, and they had it in stock rather than Ebuyer, who didn't and were comparable in price (ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 The C550 is out now, though might be hard to find in stock. It's not a great leap forward in spec, but has a better screen and takes better photographs. So if you get the opportunity for a replacement, take it. I'll be upgrading (free) my C500 in a couple of weeks. Have you seen this site? www.coolsmartphone.com There's a forum attached to it. It's a mine of information.

andrewtayloruk Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I've got one of those phones and it's been rock-solid. The battery life is suprising as well. I'd suggest getting a replacement handset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
