Ahhhh... for one week as of from today and I am a proud owner of our favourite work/play toy! 😊)) weee, just three crashes so far... to the floor and software hanging. my fault, overloaded memory, and a police "detencion" for blasting off alarms in a Bang and Olufsen shop, due to intense audio ressoance with irRemote 😊)) c�mon! my toy is brand new!!... it was kind of accident...
Does anyone know anything about a rumour of a bluetooth "thingy" (sorry, don�t know the techno slang... user end only) that one could carry arround, sort of a hard drive for the 7650? Now that would be one way of going around the lacking mmc expansion, maybe not for apps, but imagine a "thingy" capable of storing say... 100mb. Nice videos one could keep with the new camcorder apps...
please, someone let me know...
BTW... with pcsuite, when you back up your phone to pc, do the contact list also get backed? runnin� v.1.0.0 ... tried 20 millions time downloading v.1.2.0 from nokia.com, downloads 3megs and errors out... any ideas?
Thanks!
Congrats on the 7650!
About the bluetooth hard disk thingy 😉 you got it right, there's a 5GB bluetooth hard drive, Toshiba Hopbit, with it's own battery capable of staying for 200 hours standby, and 6 hours of constant connection and transfer. But it's expensive! Probably more than you bought your phone itself! Search around for Toshiba Hopbit, but that's not the problem, the problem is "seeing" the hard drive as an extra drive in the 7650, it's not possible right out of the box, but they should do something about it (a version of SeleQ perhaps?)
It's not a rumor, it's true that a Hard drive bluetooth could work with the Nokia 7650 :

re PCsuite, just run v1, nothing wrong with it (unless you have XP): yes it does back up contacts and agenda. email settings and gprs access points are also restored, also c++ apps (those which are installed with a sis file) but not non-standard ringtones or java apps. There is a way of getting the pc to restore java apps and midi files by modifying a configuration file on the PC, do a search on this forum .

Thanks for the storage tip, it seems there is no compatibility with mobile phones, at,least not on the list, but apps will soon come out for sure, and other brands will soon launch their own...i hope...
But in regards of the pcsuite v1.0... I am using XP, absolutly no probs! the only problem I found was com port assignments with the conceptronic bluetooth software... but thats ok now. Still don�t know why it created 12 com ports since only one is actually statused "connected", but hey... itsa workin�... pc suite runs fine... what "should" be wrong? as I said before, while searching the nokia website, I saw the v1.2 "for winXP", tried to download it but it ALWAYS stops at around 2 - 3mb and gives and error like "automatic install launcher corrupted"...
Diesel miniGolf rules, and so does mobileJockey! great fun!
cheers!
This is pretty much the idea. But 5GB is huge!! I'd prefer something like 32MB and a very _small_ size.
this makes me wonder about something...
is it really confortable to wear all the time a "mini" hard disc? So you can have all your info in your phone?
I don't think so...
Looking at this device, i had an idea... perhaps it's not a "doable" thing, but who knows....
I thought of a battery with a mini hard drive (it could be like an mmc slot size) and bluetooth connection. I think taht a battery is big enough to have that, but still it would be inside the phone, so this is really portable.
And beeing inside the phone it would always be in range...
What do you think about this?
