Have being using it since May 15. Didnt hang at all and very seldom reset. But somethings i noticed. Which i believe it can be improve.

The previous Notification Queue. This pproblem exist on previous PDA as well, which too much queue will eventually slow down the phone.

2nd is kind of anoying,and need to be fix as fast. If who ever use Core Player, when you play a video, you will know it will not have any display. You will need to go and set to other video playback. ie; GDI/Raw FrameBuffer. This unit comes with GPU which able to use DirectDraw.. BUT, this device dont comes with the driver! that is why directDraw cannot be use at all at this moment.

Still a great phone!

Hi jim34

thankyou so much for your answers much appreciated.

Can you answer me so more questions if im going to spend nearly 700 uk pounds on this machine its got to be all that.

I am away large amount of time from home so this machine has got to be very powerful i am veteran of 20 years when it comes to PPC, and i am currently looking for a long term machine.

OK video play back i guess most people are using tcpmp ,have you tested a xvid/divx movie what bit rate have you used also have you or any one tested a wmv9 or h.264 movie what results have you got.
Have you also used hacks to increase speed of machine from 520mhz to say 640mhz this is possible.
When playing games what results have you had - how does Nvidia goforce make gaming faster..now some are saying that axim 51v games work on this machine?

Does this machine have a turbo mode for slowing down machine
Brightness of this machine how bright is it.

Big question....how would rate this machine up agaisnt say HTC Kaiser.

if people could club together to answer these questions it would help many people.

End of the day guys theres no PPC like this at the moment...watching movies on this machine should be cinematic with wmv9 for visuals and SRS for the sound if only i could have this machine now i would show you all what this machine can do.

thanks again guys

Franco

My gf has a Stealth, she thought she could text on it then to find out it was not that easy. Anyway the Flame is miles faster than the Stealth and does not slow down when there are multiple programs running nor do you have to wait several seconds for the camera to save pictures etc. I don't like the Stealth, it was a good idea that was not designed properly, you need to upgrade before the resale value of the Stealth plummets.

The screen is exceptionally clear and sharp.

SRS does five you a surround sound experience over the headphones

No problems with stability

Camera is probably the best I have seen, very sharp except for grainy night shots as usual.

How does voice call sound.
Bluetooth is this good?

It has a CPU and a GPU which is not to be confused with a dual core processor.

You might want to hard reset the unit. Mostly like it will work. Press the wireless manager button and camera button and poke the reset button and hold. It will prompt for hard disk. As for the FM radio. U need to plug in the earpiece before u open the program.

As for dual processor. What is means is, Arm processor mainly for the PDA and 2nd processor is the Graphic Procssor unit as this model is integrated with Nvidia Go 5500(Better than PsP, and near xbox graphic chip set)

But the thing is, i hope they come out with a setting for us to actually config the graphic chip.

Hi everyone. I just bought the O2 flame yesterday and I'm quite happy with it. good screen size, easy to use. The problem though is that I can't open the camera, self diagnostics and FM radio? " it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or part or one of its components can't be found, may need to restore or reinstall the file" what should I do? Help! thx!

i'm practically salivating for this phone... it has all the "essential" features i'd like. but at a hefty price tag, it's about likely that i'l bleed money than to buy one.

I'm a day trader. I do a lot of activities online. that's what I'm very pleased with my o2 flame. When you go online, it like you using a core 2 from intel. Excellent Device. I can't wait for the upgrade (wm6).

Just want to thank Wayne for his comprehensive post. There are folks out there unduely criticizing the Flame who have never seen or used it. If you check out the comments of those who actually own a unit you will find that they are all very happy with it. It is not perfect but still much better than the current competition.

Re Wayne's issue with video playback, this has to do with the cache which WM5 operates automatically but unfortunately poorly. With the Flame's large memory you can set this size manually to a larger number like 16K to ensure smooth playback. If you check out forums like XDA-developers you can find out how to alter the registry.

With my 02 xda flame, I don't know if anybody has the same problem. when I put my own ringtone, it won't ring, the window displayed ring, instead. Anybody knows how to fix this problem.
