Downloading CoPilot atm, looks a lot better than Nav4all.

Anyone know why I couldn't purchase with AMEX but it had an icon in google checkout that says AMEX accepted?

Have also downloaded CoPilot - took forever to download the maps and that was using the windows software. All installed now and it looks very polished and nice.

Will report back tomorrow when I will be able to test it on the road.

I think £25 is very reasonable when you compare it to something like TomTom who generally want at least £80 for their mobile versions!

I'm still debating whether or not to upgrade to the magic or wait for the Hero, hmmm decisions decisions...

Is there any way/app that allows you to connect to a printer via the USB cable and print pictures.

This is one thing that was good about my N95

I'll be a bit dissapointed if we cant, as to me that is a step backwards.

Still a good phone though I guess

What do I need to switch off, so that I don't get charged loads while abroad. I know Vodafone have that free roaming feature until August, but that doesn't include receiving emails and going on the web.

Cheers.

Data roaming should be switched off or unticked.

Co-Pilot had it's first little run out today, did pretty well and looks a lot nicer than Nav4all. Going on a longer journey tomorow.

Ok guys, same as the above pics my Invisible Shield skin also fits weirdly, not as weird as Kona's above but still unacceptable for the price. I even trimmed a shade off the back shield but that still didn't help. The bottom mic hole for example is completely the wrong position!

The touchscreen shield is also a little too big, some of the edges overlap the edge of the screen.

I even followed the instructions to the T and I'm quite precise when it comes to doing things properly

I'm just going to not use a skin or anything, just have the pouch and be extra careful not to drop the phone for 16 more months!

thats crap ive just put a order in for a sheild this morning grrr going to see if i can get my money back and stick with pouch

Kona* · 1 Jul 2009 at 09:10

I got a reply from Jake @ InvisibleSkinz this morning and he is more than happy to give me a refund if I send the skin back - he has also confirmed that all of the skins should be cut the same, so will suffer from the same problem

Here are the details for their 30-day money back guarantee: http://www.invisibleskinz.com/Articles.asp?ID=134

Hopefully it doesn't cost the earth to send it back to the USA, knowing royal mail I will need to take a mortgage out!

My pouch is already showing signs of wear after 8 days. The white colouring at the top of the pouch has chipped away.

mrk · 1 Jul 2009 at 09:43

Chipped away? wtf do you do with it, nibble at it?

Mine is in mint condition still - although the shape has transformed to outline the Magic shape

Same with mine but mine has a slight blue tinge around the edges as i usually have them in my jeans pocket...but it does the job covering my Magic up.

Anybody know?

mrk · 1 Jul 2009 at 10:19

Not heard of one, maybe one will come out soon though or next Android update?

Roweyboi · 1 Jul 2009 at 11:17

do we get software updated on our magic's over the air, or do we have to download them directly? is there one due soon?

OCdude · 1 Jul 2009 at 13:09

I had a go on a Magic in-store... it seemed laggy when i swiped between the main screens.... :O

I don't think there was much running... so hopefully it was just "used and abused".. but has anyone noticed this on their phones?

Yas786 · 1 Jul 2009 at 13:15

I get the odd lag now and again but tbh it doesnt bother me in the slightest really...sometimes it does slow right down but within a few secs its back up to speed.

Not really used as my main phone the Magic, use my BB Bold as my main phone...the Magic is used for texts and playing games on my journey to and from work.

mrk · 1 Jul 2009 at 13:24

If it's trying to get a good 3G signal then it can lag yes whilst it does this but as abovem only for a few seconds.

Elsewhere it's smooth.

I installed Google Voice search and it's amazing! A good way to serach stuff and not have the history showing HEHEHE!

It also integrates with the homescreen search button on the front of the phone as a new mic button appears on the search box.

Software Updates are done over the air yeah. I've seen one system update so far!
