Sagem MyS-7 comes to Orange France.. but not the UK

C500 Leather Pouch

I've been in PHP / MySQL hell over the past few days (it'll never catch on, I tell ya), so it's good that Tam Darcy emailed in to distract me. My spies are already telling me that there's a LOT more Orange C500 handsets about now and bigger …

E200 / C500 Skins

It’s finally working ! HA!

Following on from this earlier story, I've finally got my arse into gear and completely fixed the CoolSmartPhone.com XML News Feed. You may remember me saying, "I'll get that fixed in a bit", way back in 2002. Well, now it is - and I've sorted it so i...

News feed fixed – I think!

Back in November 2002, when I started this site - I promised that I'd get the news feed working. However, I never did. Yes, it's taken me almost 2 years to get around to fixing this ! :) The XML feed can be viewed in an RSS Reader …

Virtual Keyboard
