[macisback]

Well guys, I´m getting my A920 soon. Here are some questions, if anyone could answer them, it would be very helpful!

1. How is the quality of: pictures/video/videocalls?
2. Is there any software that you miss (I for example loved my Browser etc Software on my 3650)?
3.How are the Standby Times?
4.Does it feel heavy?
5.Size compared to 3650 when holding it?
6.How far can you adjust it to your needs (like launcher for 650 etc)

Thanks in advance!

1. How is the quality of: pictures/video/videocalls?
picture/video/videocall is very good from my point of view.

2. Is there any software that you miss (I for example loved my Browser etc Software on my 3650)?
no third party software available yet
there is the browser but you can only access the 3 services
can anyone browse outside the 3 services?

3.How are the Standby Times?
one day i think, but they give you 2 batteries.

4.Does it feel heavy?
Average, not so heavy i think.

5.Size compared to 3650 when holding it?
the length is a bit longer about 1-2 cm
the width i think same

I want to ask you a question regarding the 3g certification.

I dont wanna post it on here really

damn, is there a good way to get round the lock?
ive just downloaded the SDK and signing tools.. hope this will allow me to sign symbian C++ apps for the phone as well as java ones.

i would really appreciate if you could count me in on any other info you may have

mail: normality "no @ spam" pissed and broke.org

Ill be happy to set up a forum on the subject if further development/discussion is needed.

signed files with java sdk doesn't seem to help

Strangely enough, even though I'm dead against 3 only allowing certified software to be installed on the A920, I hope people don't work out a back door way to bypass the certification.

This is because the Microsoft certification on the Orange SPV was broken in about a week. It would be great if Symbian could prove that it was more secure. This could be very important to corporate customers who could have legitamate reasons to want to prevent unathorised software being installed on devices they provide for their employees.

Hopefully the system will be opened up soon enough.

I imagine that everybody here is happy that they chose to put Flash on the A920, so at least we can have a bit of eye-candy on the phone until the great open-up occurs.

I just wish there were more flash games about that were suitable for the screen.

BTW, how do you access the memory card from the browser? - If somebody could post an example URL on here it would be appreciated, thank you!

to me it looks like they proved being NOT secure since is locked, blocking software that wasn't signed with certificate files doesn't mean it is secure system and bypassing it wont mean is that is not secure but that some "insider" leaked signature files.
i hope it will be cracked wide open very soon.

well i dont plan to be doing any shopping with my phone so security is not really an issue for me :P
