Page 1 of Motorola phone software....for a cack motorola phone......

Hi

My K700 packed up on monday (the little joystick died) and, to virgins credit, they picked it up and sent a replacement next day, which was excellent.

However.......the phone they sent me as a replacement was............a Motorola Pebl (or Pleb, as I have come to call it) since it `Most closely matched the specifications of the K700, which we dont sell anymore` (Presumably down to the bluetooth).

Anyway, despite it being twice as expensive (130 odd quid) its feature set is p*** poor compared to the K700. No wonder they are doing these as replacements, as I suspect they cant actually give them away at that price. Its a beautiful phone, fully coveted by the mrs, but its a bit lame.

Anyhoo, despite being so pricey, they dont include any software, a link cable or a basic hands free kit. Hands free, im not arsed about as I have a BT headset. Link cable im not arsed about as its a mini-usb B (same as the PSP) and ive got loads of them lying around. I am, however, bothered about the fact that a `high end` phone doesnt come with any form of synch software (especially one that comes with a Paltry 7 f***ing MB of non-upgradeable internal memory), so I cant shift the contents of my phone around.

I can buy their `Phonetools` software for 20 quid apparently in a bundle that includes another f***ing mini usb cable.......

Anyway, can anyone suggest any alternative software, a la FLOATS mobile agent for Sony Ericsson phones? Because I refuse to pay for something that should be included with the frigging phone in the first place.

Oh, I am able to upload Ringtones (MP3 snippets), Javagames (of which none have so far worked) and Pictures via bluetooth, but it wont let you do it vice versa. F***ing thing.

Oh yeah.....the cameras s*** too....as in really s***.......7250i s***.....But it looks nice, so hey, £130 is a bargain.....(cost me £60, ultimately, which i still think is too expensive).

I think im going to eventually palm it off on the mrs and get something decent.

What im listening to (if youre interested)

can`t help you with the moto i`m afraid, tbh if i where you i`d dump it asap 8)

i`d recomend the s/e w810 tho, it`s a cracking phone & it has a controll "pad" rather than the flimsy k750/w800i thumbstick (i had the w800i, cracking phone but i broke the joystick & upgraded to the w810) takes excellent pics as well :)

this pic would have been a bit better, i was stood in the shade of a tree (on the river bank) looking out into a sunny day, so the exposure got a bit screwed 8)

this one shows the detail a bit better :)

Yeah, the problem is, my mrs isnt quite as understanding as yours ;)

I may just get onto them and ask them to take it back, tbh. The problem is, I havent got a lot of spare cash at the moment, as we have just bought a new car, put another one through an expensive MOT and have got a holiday on the way, so a new mobile is very far down the list at the moment. Plus im saving up for a HD-LCD tv......

So if I spent 200 sovs on another mobile, you would probably have me knocking on your door with a sleeping bag the next day :D
