Users claim iPhone 3.0 GPS mis-map mishaps

Oh dear....

Really not going well for Apple at the moment is it...... Hot batteries, yellow screens and now a screwed up GPS. Ouch. Glad i'm not an iPoney user.

Acer Tempo F900 Windows Mobile smartphone

Cost, comparisons and tips

Many online retailers will do this "on contract" bringing the phone down to a FREE price point. Im sure google will help you find them. I got my M900 for £99 on 18months which is pretty standard for this sort of phone.

Support wise, so far i've been VERY impressed with Acer and lets be honest, its a brand new device so there will be issues. A fair few of us have been on 4winmobile.com logging our issues and Acer have activley been looking at this thread and others. I suspect we will see new firmware released VERY soon and we have already seen "lite" ROMS cooked. WinMo 6.5 is well underway.

It seems that most people dump the Acer Shell, some die hards still like windows today screen (?!) but a lot of us have put on SPB MS3 and its awesome .... really, really flies on the M900. Btw, if you don't use Acer Shell, delete the Shell and AcerShell directories from program files and you will have another 30 or 40 meg free... result! Having done this, and being a heavy user, I can honestly say i have never had memory issues. Numbers are an indicator, not a "be all, end all".

I am very puzzled though why you decided to review the mid-range and keep comparing it against HTC's top range when the M900 is clearly the top range of Acers. Kind of like putting an M3 against a Lambo..... not the fairest of decisions.

Please stop....

"The Windows Mobile iPhone antidote?"

Please stop comparing phones aimed at diferent markets to the iphone with the Iphone. Its all getting tiresome and VERY boring, and has done for some time now...... except for the children of course.

Tesla takes Top Gear test to task

Brake fade simple fuse issue?????!!!!!

" the cause of the "brake failure" experienced while charging on the first – a simple fuse failure, claims Tesla, fixed there and then"

I can rest assured when im in a ditch having had serious brake fade, car broken to bits, bones shattered ... that the breaks will work again after I change a fuse.

Oh thats all right then.

Paris? Nothing to do with the story, I'd slip her a portion ... but wouldn't want to give her my phone number.

Im with AC... whats wrong with a laptop?

Why would you buy this at that price when you can get a laptop down your local high street for the same price. So many more advantages.... and only the loss of battery - trains and planes now have plugs in the seats you know!

Dixons plunges to loss

@Craig Roberts- AGREED!

Who the hell voted that twat in anyway? Oh wait, NO ONE.

How can a prime minister be forced upon us? If the current PM wishes to step down then that should force a general election imo and in no way does anyone have the automatic right to step into the role without as much as at least a vote of confidence from the public.
