            Hello,
            Can anyone tell me how to stop the backlight from going off every time i touch the joystick?
            Even when locked the backlight comes on and drains the battery.
            Is there any solution?
            I like to keep the phone in my pocket, but in this way the joystick get's pressed all the time.

                Following up and answering questions.

                The phone runs clearvue office suite and reads Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Acrobat files. This suite can be installed on the storage card to prevent using up valuable phone memory. I’ve also ported to the card the temp internet, cookie files and whole load of MP3’s. Pocket TV is a great app with loads of demo videos to download. Wi-Fi is great – I’m sending and receiving my emails in the dentist, coffee shop etc for free. After several weeks of use, I’m now used to its little quirks and features & I’m very happy with the phone. Stick a 1G card in and you can carry all your apps, data and even a whole movie around with you.

                Only a couple of grumbles:
                The storage card is inside the phone, so to change it (i.e. put your sat nav tom tom in) you have to take the battery out.
                You can’t add text to a task.

                Awesome phone

                  I've taken delivery of an XDA IQ (SP5). Here's my opinion. Great phone, quick and intuitive. Bad points - Cannot send and recieve emails from the same account you sync up with, not really a problem as you can create a duplicate account & send / receive leaving messages on the server for outlook to collect next log on. Also Tasks, you cannot add text to a task. I downloaded notepad from the net, which works nicely. WiFi easy to set up & works well. Camera OK, MP3 tones for all events. A memory card is a must - You'll soon use memory up. All round, it's a nice, small powerful PDA phone.

                    Click on the contact name on the Sim, then go to Menu, then click on Save to Contact.

                    Best is to sync with your Outlook contact, the fastest and most info.

                      I am a heavy mobile user for email and msn access and frankly the joy-stick of the phone is worst, I have ever found in any phone. I have used several sony phones (all joy stick based) and never faced this much trouble. The navigation stick went bad just after 3 days of use and now not working at all. Presently my cell is at service center and I don't know when it will come back

                            Re: How to make calls for free using SP5

                            Hello Raheel,
                            Can you please advise if the processor copes with Skype?
                            I had before an Ipaq 6365 -165mhz and the processor was not enough for Skype.
                            How does SP5 perform? Is the processor enough for acceptable voice conversation?
                            Also can you please send me the instalation files for Skype? For some reason I cannot see the link for downloading these files.
                            Thanks.
                            Andrei

                                I have used the SP3i for some time. I sync it with Outlook contacts, calender and tasks, which works well. HOwever, when calling up tasks on the SP3i, it lists them alphabetically, not in date order. Also, the reminder for tasks all take place at once (8am), even if you have different times in tasks on outlook. How does SP5 handle sync and tasks?

                                      Does the sp5 have office mobile like smartflip does and also is this fone wifi capable.
                                      Cheers
