They are the biggest pile of stinking horse C**P i've ever got.

please tell me your not on orange, if so, your very likely to find that in the next month or so the software will completely shut down and orange will say, "oh i'm sorry sir, but software problems do not come under orange care warrenty, please refer to the manufacturer" who will go it's not our problem!

its a very very very common problem and whoever sold it to you should get a very big boot in the teeth!

sorry to rant but i've had it for 4 months and it worked for about 2 weeks, every other person i've spoken to who had one, bar one, have had exactly the same problem.

Steve

p.s. the internet browsing was rubbish even when it did work, the P900 is much better, so is the SPV on orange.

Totally agree with Steve, software freezes all the time, slow to work, IE pretty rubbish. Took it back to Orange, after only a week of using it, they sent it off for a factory reset, still crap afterwards and it I can't wait until i can get rid of it (in October)

Sorry it aint good news

I've had one for about 6 months and its been fine. The only problem I've had is if you go out of signal range it drain the battery pretty quickly..

Recently upgraded the firmware to WM2003 which seems to run a bit quicker.

few sites for you... www.mpx200.org www.modaco.com

I'm having a right nightmare unlocking the software...tried the alphalux which doesn't work - even tried the orange official unlock which doesn't seem to work...
