The 02 shop is in Portsmouth,High Street.
But I knew the bloke, he is a friend, and gave me so much % discount on the traiff.
So it helps if you know someone who works for 02.

Yeah you can install TomTom and the like but you may need some help configuring as i don't think it works without modifing some files. I think i posted a link further down of a guy on ebay who sells the info for a few quid.

I got this phone a couple of weeks ago.
I must admit, the size did put me off, then I thought its better the most standalone PDA's and specs are brillant and its a phone, and when you pull it out you get WOW whats that! and then you tell them it does this and it can do that and they are just gobsmacked.I have not yet had one person say anything bad about it. I got phone for £100 on 02 400 talk & 200 text, all for £21 a month, cause I knew the bloke in the shop, he got me a staff deal, so Could'nt not take it, and he said after 12 months I can carry on the same traiff. I would recommend a buletooth headset, rather then holding the phone to your ear. This phone is for anyone really, not just business men, if you like your gadgets - would recommend.

Hey JIT i too was concerned about the size, so much so that i almost bought the XDA mini instead. But then i thought i'm gonna have this phone for at least a year and want the best spec i can possibly get, bulky or not.
You soon get used to the size and be ready for loads of people saying "ah cool, lets have a go"

Other thing I'll add is that for brilliant support from like-minded users, try xda-dev.com - it's fantastic. 90% of the problems you'll come across have already been solved by the boys on there.

"Yet it has absolutely no back-up facilities, either to PC or internally."
Go get Sprite Backup. With a handheld, you have to buy one or two bits of S/W to make it perfect - Resco Explorer, Sprite Backup that sort of thing.

DRM-i know what you mean about your dream machine.You pretty much describe the exact features i'd love to see in a handset. Its only a matter of time until its a reality. But until it is i'll just pout up with the er...suspect pocket bulge from the exec.
Oh and i'm not sure about your memory problems but if you vist

Not quite true, correct me if I am wrong.
I have this device.
It is claimed that WM5 has persistent memory which is what Basil say that hard reset, everything is there.
Maybe I do not know how to use it, I have done hard reset 2 times just to try out this feature, but my contacts, software installation is gone. Of course I have backup via Activesync to restore the info.
Can anyone teach me how to use the WM5 persistent memory feature, that is, doing a hard reset, all info will still stay intact?
It is also my dream to have all in one device. I think HTC will take another 1 to 2 years to realise as there will be volume problem to house everything unless someone shrink everyting into an IC. Dream device features include,
- 3 M Pix or more Camera, 2 M Pix is outdated
- FM Radio
- Size like O2 Atom
- 3G
- 3 GSM band
- External Memory (SD/SDIO preferred)
- Big QWERTY Keypad
- Touch screen
- All the features the EXEC has.
Dream, Dream & Dream.
Thanks in advance.

Having enjoyed XDAs from the very beginning, I have to say their tendency to crash has always been a problem. The IIi has a great backup system both to a PC and internally. I cant believe the Exec is so advanced that if you re-boot it from a hard reset or soft that it will remember its contents. Yet it has absolutely no back-up facilities, either to PC or internally. Are we going backwards here?

You know Casper i wondered the exact same after toying with the camera for a while and realising it could be better.
I've trawled the internet like a cornish fishing boat and can't seem to find anything relevant, but its a natural design progression i'm sure.
I'm hoping to see 2mp+ on the camera and a more compact size.
Being as this is their flagship model and its only just seen general release it might be a while till the exec mk2.

To use Chinese, download from the website (I cannot remember, try use google seach) to search for either CE-Star or Monster Chinese v5.x and install it.
Any kind soul can help me with a question, WM5 is supposed to have "persistent memmory", anyone know how to use it? Hard reset still removes all my info and need to re-install and recover from backups.

TomTom Navigator 5 works fine on the Exec, to install it you require the upgrade/patch from tomtom update5.231.
