Sony Ericisson K850i keeps switching off

My K850i keeps switching itself off and/or rebooting the whole time. It’s pretty damn annoying and it looks like I’m not the only person with this problem. A quick Google search shows that this might be a big thing.

If I fnd a fix I’ll let you know. Otherwise there will be a pretty expensive brick for sale on eBay shortly - any bids?

RoadSync on the Nokia E61 - still more annoying than useful

Now that Microsoft have started to let people license the new ActiveSync technology Dataviz have released an updated version of their flagship product - RoadSync.

I tried it on my E61 and it’s better than Nokia’s Mail for Exchange, but still not that awesome. Unless you are hooked up with Exchange 2007 you miss out on most of the new features and it still doesn’t sync all the sent items and stuff. More »
