Ordered an xda mini S

[e36Adz]

After actually seeing one in the flesh, I decided this is good enough for me It seemed a lot smaller in real life, about the same size as my old 6630 compared to how it looked in the pics.

Anyway iv just won an auction over on the bay, for £260 + £15 special delivery for a brand new unlocked one, il be using my o2 pay as you go with it but afew things I now need...

A good 2GB memory card
A GPS receiver for tomtom sat nav
and anything else you can think off that id need?

Just had a look over at mymemory, but they are out of stock on the 2gb sandisk memory cards, anywhere else that stocks them? Are they good cards, they seem considerably cheaper then some other brands iv seen?

I had one for 2 weeks - v disapointed, at times it wa so slow it took 5-10 mins to get out of a 'crash' it was just quicker to restart the phone which took at least 5 mins. Such a pity as it had real potential. I sold mine on ebay ready for the next gen phones - maybe the new nokias (symbian!) or just a smartphone with a faster CPU..

Thanks for telling me now

one main thing you need to do when you get it is give it a hard reset, then once its switching on it will says "customising device in 5 seconds" once it says this hit the soft reset button, that way you will get none of the o2 branding on the main screen, which means the xda is more responsive and a bit quicker

Thanks for the tip mate

grab a 32 channel bluetooth gps reciever off ebay

As for GPS unit, get a holux slim one based on the surfstarIII chipset

I use sandisk but moby are cheaper I think.

In this case, its about 30 quid more expensive.

Sandisk 2gb ~50-55
Mobymem 2gb ~80-85
