        Anonymous, 04 Aug 2010thnx for replyin Cooza,, well i had already done that, but ... moredid you get out of your house where there is no tree or tall buildings? or else the phone will not find any satellites. wave can download location via internet/3G connection but it doesn't work properly yet. therefore, go out to empty space and fire up R66, it will definitely find satellites.

If you forget phone password, you will definitely need to hard reset the password or might need to go through Stune but not sure though.

                  All wave users,I need an advice.Please tell about your experience with WI-FI Signal Reception,on Wave.
                  I suspect my Wave for having somewhat weak WI-FI reception.How I came to judge this:I also have a NOKIA N79.Within my bedroom,WIFI Signals,though weak but almost fine and constant on the n79.But the same place,Wave loses out the signals,or sometimes doesn't even catch one!I found this very strange.
                  Will a firmware upgrade will make an improvement?Mine is JE7.Please HELP coz I love this Phone.

                            Everyone go to the t-mobile.co.uk website and you will find people have complained heavily about the batter life of this phone....is this a real problem? no one here has complained of this or have they? I am planning on getting this phone, but now am a bit apprehensive to say the least.
