Right. The scanner and camera wizard is downloading my pics, but it seems to be just downloading the thumbnails, and leaving the big pictures behind. Any ideas?

Once you've mounted the phone's SD card, don't use any wizard to transfer the files, just open up a Windows Explorer window to show the contents of the SD card, and another for the destination folder on your PC.  Simply drag and drop between the two.

Or have you already sorted that issue?

Yep. I did it like that, but thanks anyway.

More probs probably coming soon. (I love it though)

They are good bits of kit aren't they?  You'll soon find the more you know about them, the more questions you'll have. Then you'll end up breaking it (but as long as you backup your stuff and don't leave your phone in the back of a taxi then you'll be fine as you can restore everything).

If nobody has mentioned Google Sky Map yet, then have a go with that. Probably the most "wow" app I've seen yet. Even though it doesn't actually do much.

It's a great app.  Was sat in a field at a festival round the camp fire at about four in the morning and loads of us were lying on our backs with people asking which constellation was which and which planets we could see - was cool.  Other than that, never used it.

Motorola Milestone xt720. Ugly - Unfashionable - Great camera - real xenon flash.

I lurrrve it to bits.

Contract = 800 mins any network calls + unlimited tinternet + 250 texts: £17.00

I have 500MB. In the two full months that I have bills for, I used 117MB and 133MB.

I probably wouldn't be a heavy user (not sure how you would quantify light / heavy usage).

I suspect those with 20/20 vision, that don't have to squint to read things, would probably use more?

ooh, where did you get that contract? I'd like something that isn't £30/month

I've had the same number with Vodafone since 1988. I never upgrade my phone because I want to change my phone when it suits me, be it twice in a year or once in 5 years.

So, at contract renewal time, I always try to negotiate a better contract, and I'm quite good at haggling.

[gatso]

I see. think I've got less leverage, haven't had a contract for years

[toddswain]

None of the contracts have 'unlimited' internet. There all capped at either 500mb 750mb or 1gb fair usage policy. I have 500mb a month, and i go on blonde/fb/hotmail everyday wenever i want i never even been near to 400mb
