Hi there. I've had this phone for 4 days now and no problems until last night. For some reason when I try using a GPRS connection (web browsing, weather widget etc) then I get an error message saying unexpected error or network connection error. Anybody know what the issue could be? This worked fine until last night and if I choose to use a WiFi connection it works fine.

However, 95% of these java apps will not work.

So you can try to get a dictionary but given the limited to non existent availability of Java apps (not games) and the fact that the vast majority do not work, it would be difficult

Its in the profile settings. Choose a profile, press the red arrow next to it, then at the top change the 'incoming call' bit to 'text message' and you can then change the message tone.

Can someone tell me if the message tone,when set to an mp3 song, plays the whole song or just a little bit over and over?

It is a great phone!
I am still learning its functions.
How can I change the ringtone when I receive a text message? Where can I find this setting?

Thnx

Hi. I know you can set mp3's sms alert tones, but i was wondering if it plays the whole song or just a bit over and over. Also, is there the setting to make the sms tone start quiet and get louder and louder the longer it rings? Thanks.

I'm also from South Africa. So far really liking what I'm seeing spec-wise from this phone and the positive feedback.

BUT

Since I've read that the phone doesn't support .jar files I'm a bit concerned about MXit not being able to run in the phone, I not so sure if MXit uses .jar file type or not.

From a fellow South African, can you please tell me whether or not MXit will work on the JET?

Hi, can somebody tell me about D1 video recording on this S8003 jet comparing with D1 on S8300 about the quality? I know those two had the same D1 720x480 @30FPS, but is it exactly the same quality?
Does the differentiate on the megapixel camera will affect the quality on the video recording?

thanks
