I recently picked up around 50 touch Vivas (Opal) for my business. I am creating some software to run on the WM Platform that will handle the details of my buisness. And my Employees will be running around with these phones using the data network to connect with my server for sales etc. I am using these phones because they are Ideal, Small, and very inexpensive. Additionally they work great with the blue tooth printers that my employees carry around
My Problem....
I wanna disable the Ability to make calls, and surf the web etc and limit there usage to this program and messenger. Any Ideas on how i can go about doing this

A big hooray
Shame about choice of phone's and that none have wifi.
I have been pissed with T-mobile bot allowing many services on web n walk.
3 embracing skype and opening up to data tarrifs.
Thank you. Lets hope you start a trend/price war.
Although I will wait until I see the charges.
Did I read on these same pages yesterday the o2 chairman predicting 3 and virgin would not last. Show them the way to go.
Just need more broadband routers with better igmp support for alll the video streaming,IPTV etc that is gonna be coming.
This all sounds good, and it is very tempting to go with 3, especially with x-series services coming up. Free unlimited international calls (Only to certain countries) aswell, for £15!!
However what I would like to know is, do you have to use 3's phone to get free access to internet, skype, messenger etc. i.e. does 3 load on their own version of these software to access these services? By reading articles, it seems they do, for example, you can only use Yahoo Go and Google to browse or search the internet. Or could you use a PDA phone (say HTC Trinity) with your 3 sim, and open PIE and surf the net for free, use skype or Live Messenger for free?
Ideally, I would like to get my own PDA phone (maybe trinity) to take advantage of these services, but I have a gut feeling it's not as simple as that. It's a shame that there's only two phones they currently offer that support HSDPA, Nokia N73 and SE W950i. I rather have the Trinity
A friend who works for vodafone said that they will be following up with some new data tariffs around January time - fingers crossed, dual sim with web-n-walk doesn't quite cut the mustard for me!
agree with the two posts above, web n walk is great however the t-mobile call reception is terrible in my area. The 3 hansets avaliable are not to my liking. My O2 contract expires in January, at that point i hope i have a decent choice of data plans......
Hey everybody! I've been around in the community for quite a while now and today I've got something for you if you have been looking for a decent Windows Mobile Softphone for a while now and have given up on the ones out there... cause what were your alternatives?
Fring: Nice protocol support, but only one VoIP provider and Frankenstein GUI... hardly a softphone.
SJphone: In beta for like... 2 years now? The company is gone and so is all hope of seeing a version that you can actually use without feeling a major pain in the...
Skype Mobile: Not much need to even start about them, but apart from not supporting SIP it's slooow, sloooow... and did I mention slow? Probably one of the most half assed desktop ports around.
Xlite: Discontinued and hopelessly outdated... does it even run on WM2003?
Windows Mobile 6: Good one! As in... joke!
So you see, there's bad and worse to choose from, but fear the not! A small Japanese company named ageet Corporation (that would be us) has come to the rescue with AGEphone Mobile 2! It supports Windows Mobile 5 and 6 not only in the Professional but also Standard Edition. It's ready for you to download at http://www.ageet.com/files/AGEphoneMobile2.CAB OR http://mobileage.notlong.com from your phones. For all of you who can't decide that quickly feel free to take a look at our...

Press Release
(with nice colorful pictures at http://www.ageet.com/us/news/2008.02.08-agephone-mobile-2.0-release.htm)
=====================================================================
Kyoto, Japan --February 2008
ageet Corporation, the experienced Japanese producer of VoIP software products such as the Vista Sidebar and Google Sidebar VoIP Gadget "AGEphone Gadget" and possibly the world's smallest and lightest VoIP engine "microSIP Stack", today released a completely revised version 2 of "AGEphone Mobile" softphone. This program can be used to make VoIP phone calls on a PDA or Smartphone that is based on Windows Mobile 5.0 (for Pocket PC or Smartphone) or Windows Mobile 6 (Standard or Professional) and utilizes the fully SIP compatible VoIP engine “microSIP Stack” developed by ageet, which is extremely small, fast and therefore suited for mobile devices. AGEphone Mobile 2 has been enhanced to also support keyboard-only control on devices without a touch screen and has been optimized for portrait and landscape mode on a wide range of screen resolutions, so devices such as HTC MTeoR, AT&T 852, Motorola Q9 and many more are capable of taking full advantage of the features the program has to offer.
The dynamic interface went through a major overhaul to guarantee easy and finger-friendly use of the product. Whether AGEphone is installed on a touchscreen device or one limited to keypad input, navigation through the softphone’s GUI is quick and fluid. Context sensitive menus change according to what the program is currently doing, mapping the best action to the soft keys of the device and making it unnecessary to navigate through endless sub-menus. On touchscreen devices, there isn't much need for a stylus because most of the interactive buttons can be pressed with your finger.
When dialing a number, the user is supported by an intelligent auto complete function, and recent incoming or outgoing call's numbers are quickly accessible by a single click. Numbers that are inputted scale themselves to screen size to guarantee best readability. Both in portrait or landscape mode the available space is being used to its best.
AGEphone Mobile 2 offers several special functions such as the capability to use multiple VoIP services at once, essentially making yourself accessible through multiple phone numbers. It also introduces a Provider QuickSwitch with which the user can switch between his VoIP services by simply pressing a key or tapping the screen. This allows fast and easy selection of the most suitable service when placing a call - the best choice is just a click away.
Take advantage of the different profiles you can set your Agephone to. Have your device automatically answer an incoming call as if you pressed the "accept" button yourself. If you're away from the phone, send all your incoming calls straight to the answer machine. Even reject all calls if you're feeling the inclination to. The choice is yours to make just by pulling up your menu.
Furthermore AGEphone now offers a new power management section which allows you to control energy consumption. You could for instance keep your device’s wi-fi connection from automatically shutting down or advice AGEphone to activate wi-fi on startup.
AGEphone Mobile 2 now also utilizes the device’s integrated phone book application, allowing the user to instantly access previously added contacts and call them by VoIP on the spot.
The settings menu has also been completely revised. It offers clearly structured categories that are accessible by both keys and stylus, and assists the user with auto completion and preset values.
The "AGEphone Mobile 2" softphone can currently be purchased online via ageet Corporation's homepage, http://www.ageet.com/us/download.htm. The purchase price is $35 USD. Users who purchased "AGEphone for Windows Mobile 5.0" can get an upgrade for free. A free trial version is also available, and ageet offers customized OEM versions for interested business customers.
Hello.
I've been searching the interweb for file sharing clients that are compatible with the X7510 (in my case the O2 XDA Flint). Below are my brief reviews of each that I've tried.
Pocket G2 Pro: This is one of those fantastic little apps that was created and then abandoned, despite pleas from the PPC community, some years ago. This was basically a gnutella client similar to bearshare, frostwire, limewire etc. It worked well for small files (under 17mb I recall) and had a habbit of closing itself after prolonged periods of use. Unfortunately this app won't even start up on my X7510, and the apps domain (pocketG2.com) is now up for sale, so I guess there isn't a new version coming anytime soon.
WM Torrent: This is a torrent client similar to bit-torrent, u-torrent, vuse etc. It loads ok and the connection seems good but it only handles torrents, so it's not ideal for small files such as mp3s. I have unlimited data on my contract and started downloading a 50mb mpg file which had plenty of seeders (people sharing the file) on a GPRS connection. After several hours it had only downloaded 3% so I gave up. I will try this app again in a 3G area (if I can find one!) and see if it performs any better.
Mopiphant: This is another gnutella client that is popular with PPC users. I have tried several versions but none will open after installing them.
There seems to be room in the market for a gnutella client that is stable on this device. And lets face it, if any device could make use of file sharing on the go it's the X7510 with its huge memory, huge screen and meaty sterio speakers.
Does anyone know of a working P2P app for the X7510?
Phil.
Why?
this would destroy any data allowance you had with your providor. Its blatently against any TOS they have.
Use your desktop ?
O2 TOS state :
Data Charges
* For applicable tariffs with data capability: Unless a data or BlackBerry Bolt On is taken, your tariff will include O2 Web Daily under which data will be charged at £2.94 per MB up to a maximum of £0.98 per day (00:00am to 23:59pm). Once you have reached your maximum daily charge of £0.98, O2 Web Daily allows you unlimited use of Telefónica O2 UK Limited's Edge/GPRS/ 3G networks (as applicable to your handset), for personal internet use via your mobile phone. All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not use your SIM Card:
o in, or connected to, any other device including modems;
o to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, enable Voice over Internet (Voip), P2P or file sharing; or
o in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers.
If O2 reasonably suspects you are not acting in accordance with this policy O2 reserves the right to impose further charges, impose network protection controls which may reduce your speed of transmission or disconnect your tariff at any time, having attempted to contact you first.

I quoted the wrong part, on that above link under "Data Bolt On Terms" it says the same.
Thanks for your feedback Embassy.
Lets assume that I'm a fully aware adult and therefore resposible for the mobile data contract I agreed to, and its usage. With this in mind - do you know of any working P2P apps?
BTW, this device is also WiFi equipped, so I could use a hot spot to do my downloading
None that I know of.
How about RDP into your desktop while mobile and download via P2P that way.
Install XAMPP on your desktop and you could host the downloaded file using FTP or HTTP and download from the device.
Could be wrong but pretty sure all those connetions would lag it out really bad, if you have peer gaurdian installed or run a netstat for example see how many connections are active.
I'm pretty certain I didn't understand most of that...
Are you saying I could use remote desktop to download the P2P files on my PC at home, and then use some kind of file-server (XAMPP) to copy the file to my PPC?
Mopiphant is emule network client, your right only bt works on ppc, we need to find some java apps or other code like python....
u got opennap too but i cant add opennap servers http://www.zdziarski.com/projects/zamar/
Thanks wolframio74, I'll take a look at that and see if I can get it working.
Greetings,
I have been on the look out for a tablet for quite some time now.
Some background information:
I am currently a University student, and I enjoy power hungry video games like Diablo3 (if you think d3 isn't power hungry, ok. It isn't the point of the thread.)
I owe a gaming pc - Nvidia 660Ti, and a Tablet / Ultrabook Hybrid - Asus Taichi 31.
I live in Malta. (A&T and T-Mobiles are not available, I have yet to contact them wheter they are willing to offer their services from abroad regarding a data plan) (to my knowledge acquired from these forums, there is currently no possible way to integrate voice calling / smsing with the mini sim. The mini sim is only used for data transfer correct?)
I understand barely nothing about android, roms and kernals, I am studying for a pharmacist. What little I know is mostly about desktops from my interest and sources are typically the internet and some local technicians I enjoy chatting with. (if any1 can point me to a good beginner guide, that would be great)
I am currently looking for something that is able to:
replace my phone - just calls and sms. My lack of education on android devices and a very narrow google search lead me to believe there are apps with this ability if you are always connected to an internet connection? which wouldnt be a problem with the LTE/4G?
good alternative for an mp3 player - main issue: buttery life - size doesn't matter because I use bluetooth headphones
use XBMC hub - i think this tablet can easily handle it
take decent quality photos
stream games from long distances (when I am at university example, from my home) - is the only limiting factor the speed of the internet connection? Is it possible to connect the internet via a cable? (ethernet to mini usb converter?)
My two main priorities are calling/texting and battery life.
I am yet to find a store who has this tablet on display so I can have a feel of the tablet, I do not know if 8'' is ridiculously large to carry around. And I think it also falls within personal preference.
What would you, if in my shoes, get? Should I look for a phablet? I personally find smart phones have a small screen, and the only use I have out of a phone is to text and call, so I would like to have the good out of both ends.
Thank you.

It can meet your needs. You can use Google Voice # and hangouts to make/receive calls. It is a beast at gaming and the nvidia game stream is great, however its huge. In my opinion WAY to big to be used as an everyday phone, and would only allow speak phone calls or through a blue tooth. The call quality is good though.
If you want a tablet I recommend it. However if you want a phone I suggest using a phone.
I would get the tablet then get a Moto G or a Moto E for free and use it as your phone.

GV is google voice? Yes I live in Malta, and thank you I didn't know that.
Is there any other way possible to have voice call / texting possibilities on this tablet?
I work for a mobile operator and now in the phase of catagorizing phones. Can anyone give me a clear cut explanation what a smart phone is. What features qualifies a device as a smartphone?
i also wonder.. let me research on that
That's a hard one.
I would say what defines a smart phone is ability to have a data connection. I.E. access the web, email etc. This goes above the old WAP services that "dumb" phones used to be able to access.
The Dictionary is pretty clear on this...
smartphone
noun
1. a device that combines a cell phone with a hand-held computer, typically offering Internet access, data storage, e-mail capability, etc.
So just making calls and basic internet access(WAP) isn't enough, it also has to be able to run a full-fledged OS, run programs, display websites, send and recieve emails, play videos and music and run games.
I think these days 'Touchscreen' also counts as a prerequisite for being a smartphone.

That pretty much covers it. Technically speaking, a "featurephone" is a computer as well. It has an operating system, a processor, RAM, storage, cellular connectivity, and typically internet access, albeit limited.
The paradigm of what constitutes a smartphone isn't so much exactly what it's capable of, but more how capable it is. Featurephones and smartphones are basically capable of the same stuff. Make calls and texts, email, internet, media, camera, games, etc. The definition lies within the disparity.
that is difficult to define. even old phones can install small java applications, and surf the wap websites.
