Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / September 2004Treo on non-Orange network?
OK, so I think I'll be wanting the Treo 650 when it comes out. But Orange reception is non-existant in our street, so I'd have to buy it outright and use it on another network. Having played with the Treo 600 on Orange, I noticed that there was loads of Orange-specific software on it (which I didn't look at). If I bought the Treo off the shelf I'd not get this software, but is that any great loss? What's the software for, is it any good, and are there (better?) third party alternatives? -z-  SignatureThe iBook saga continues... last updated Thu 23/9/04 (day 59) Couriers have finally picked up my iBook! Hurrah! It only took five phonecalls to Apple, six calls to courier company, five delivery attempts, two (different) wrong addresses and one pissed-off customer. > OK, so I think I'll be wanting the Treo 650 when it comes out.

This costs you a LOT of money as your data is backed up over GPRS. I use a free Backup program which backs up to the SD or MMC card instead :) The Treo 600 can be unlcked for free at www.mytreo.net > "zoara" <me3@privacy.net> wrote > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > The Orange-specific Treo 600 software is just a little bit of cosmetic > renaming Oh, so it's the same stuff as comes with a Treo direct from Palm then, but with Orange-style icons? > and a backup and restore program.

The free backup program I use is BackupBuddyVFS. As there are 100,000 apps for the Treo, you might find several other backup programs you prefer. > The free backup program I use is BackupBuddyVFS. Ah, that's no longer free. Have you done a test restore? I find it doesn't work with my particular setup (problems with Fonts4OS5). > As there are 100,000 apps for the Treo, you might find several other backup > programs you prefer. Oh, I've tried a few - been a PalmOS user for years and years now. -z- SignatureThe iBook saga continues... last updated Wed 29/9/04 (day 65) It's now got its own blog! http://ibooksaga.blogspot.com/ And I've had (relatively) good news from Apple! |
