                    Can anyone tell me if the Bluetooth is stereo (A2DP, I think)? I only v1.1, and I'm not sure if that's it.
                    Thanks

                      i have a sp5.im even on it right now. the thing is i dont understand why so many problems. a carpenter should never blame his tools if the couch came out wrong. i use mine for wireless printing,email,spreadsheets,word docs,movies,mp3s,basically most things and i have found all the support from the internet. both software and hardware. i guess not all people are meant to own an imate. but if u do its not a pc nor jus a cellphone. its a smartphone. guess if the user isnt smart enough to use it then dont own it.

                          Hey ppl, bought the phone 2 days ago, and I am happy with it so far. Camera is not too great, but then I did not buy it for the camera. If someone could just clarify for me what the maximum size memory card you can use in the sp5 I would greatly appreciate it. Is it SDHC compliant? Thanks

                              Skype can work without using a wifi connection.
                              skype will be working on the gprs connection, which is limited in bandwidth.
                              so if you login on skype using the gprs and make a phone call using skype, the voice quality will not be the best, and call drops might take place.
                              i recommend a phone that has a 3G for making call using skype

                                to format the windows on the SP5.
                                visit wwww.clubimate.com, register your phone by using the serial number on it.
                                choose device support, then click on the sp5 phone icon. you will find all the software support for this phone, including the configuration for your gprs service provider
                                enjoy :)

                                  The Blue tooth on SP5 is not for file transfer.
                                  just for a modem connection between a PC or laptop.

                                    well, eventually the register on the phone is not large enough, so if we have several programs installed. ie " google earth, skype, and any other thing", you will find a message that appears advising that the memory is not enough even if you have a 2 Gega flash memory.
                                    The way to solve that is to make a backup of all the contacts on outlook, and a backup for your messages using netcool prog, and format the windows on this mobile.
                                    once you install the operating system, install just the prog you really are using, try to avoid big application, in the end remember it is a phone not a computer :)

                                        What a crappy phone. I had one for about a year when the problems started. At first it gave messages that the phone is running low on memory and I had to delete messages which I did with no success. One can not use the phone until you respond to the message. Then it started vibrating and the only way to stop it is to remove the battery. I contacted my service provider and they said to bring it in. As I am staying 200km from the service provider Altec Autopage, by the way also worst service ever received, I could not do it right away. One evening as I was in the shower I heard the phone that was on charge on the dressing table starting to vibrate again. Before I could dry and reach the phone I heard a sound and the phone was quiet. Yes it fell of the dresser as it was vibrating the whole time. I took it on the 26th September to Altec Autopage Polokwane and explained what happened and and that was the last I heard except for the three times I have called to inquire and the one time I went in person. On the 12th of November at about 17h15 someone called me from the repair department of I presume Altec and said the cost would be in access of R2600.00. I asked but was it not supposed to be a guarantee repair and she said there was physical damage to the phone. I again explained and she again said the guarantee do not cover the damage. Now how ridiculous that a mobile phone fall of a bedside table and the damage is in excess of R2600.00. What else could it be that a CRAPPY phone and even a crappier service provider.
