    Have you any more info on that?

    I bought my wife an unlocked omnia 7 and it's great but 3G doesn't work on it. The little symbol is there and it's turned on and everything, but when you try the browser it just times out. - Is that something the provider could sort out do you reckon? (Vodafone). Does she need to get 3G settings updated on it or something? It works fine on wifi.

    I'm with Vodafone too and this app sorted it out for me anyway. Just go into the marketplace on the phone, and one of the menu options should be for the Samsung zone. There's an app there, I think it's called Network Profile or something like that (don't have my Omnia at the moment). When you install and run it it lets you pick your coountry and network and then it sets up all the APN/3g/MMS etc settings for you and reboots the phone.

    I'm on O2 as well and I have my 3G APN set as "pp.internet". This works perfect for me but you will need a data add on on PAYG or else you have to use the 99c a day charge.

    It's nice, but they've gone way overboard on the advertising.

    Downloading the trial of Plants VS. Zombies now.

    Is Bejewled worth a purchase, in your opinion?

    Plants vs Zombies might be my first game purchase on the phone.

    I have it on Steam and bought it on the 360's popcap sale yesterday, but it is perfect for the phone i think.

    Nokia's first WP7 device has been leaked today... Quite surprised it's not already posted here!
    I'm posting this from my Omnia 7, so not sure if the link will work properly.

    I'm pretty sure it's a staged leak. He asks a few times for no one to take pictures or film, yet its all recorded and edit by specifically to be shown. This was not recorded by some one with a little camera phone. This has been leaked to start the gossip rolling...

    We won't know until the first phones are out or until nokia tells us what they have change/added to the OS/phone but Microsoft have allowed Nokia alot more freedom when it comes to WP7 than any of the other companies.

    “We have the ability to do customisations and extensions to the software environment that are unique and therefore differentiate. It’s very important to understand this is not a standard OEM agreement. Microsoft is placing a big bet on us.”

    Brand. Even though Nokia sales are down they still sell alot of phones. Maybe just enough to accelerate WP7 growth faster. Also if u look up the details of Nokia Microsoft seal. Nokia is allowing Microsoft to use their services. So ovi maps will be merged into Bing, carrier billing and availability in more countries and so on :)

    I hope that some of the ovi maps functionality will be available to other wp7 users (I love the offline navigation)

    I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing to be honest. Suppose we'll have to wait and see.

    I agree. If they start doing custom **** that means that HTC Samsung or LG owners will get the updates faster cause they won't be updating custom features. This would leave alot of Nokia owners angry

    Some aspects of the touch boards site are not working properly for me. One example of this is that the "forum" button is inside the search box.

    You guys should show your support for a windows phone 7 sub forum. I think It would be a great idea

    It's a nice idea, but I don't think there's the demand for it, and there likely won't be for a while
