As some of you have had the exec delivered whats your verdict?
I have the 11s and i am considering upgrading.
The 11s is about as bulkly as i would want to go and i know the exec is slightly larger and heavier but until you have it in your hand you cant really tell.
The 11s has a anoyingly quit ring tones and the vibrate is not much better.
So please post your thiughts.

oops
meant this for the existing thread sorry
Why don't you delete it then?
Btw..
Roman numerals uses the letter "I", not the number "1"..
It's "IIs" not "11s"..
how
dont know how to delete it
if i did i would have
remember we all start somewhere thats how the whole thing works if it was only for smart asses then it would not be required

I just upgraded to an XDA Exec from a IIs and I love it. Sure it is buliker than the IIs, which was big enoguh with a decent case, but the extra things you can do with it more than make up for it. The VGA screen is crystal clear, the stereo speakers and proper headphne socket, video calling, 3g internet browsing, proper keyboard... There are quite a few people here who think it is a disappointment, and yes, there are a few bugs and niggles, but overall I am really pleased with mine.

I got mine last week and its well cool. what a nice bit of kit. I'm finding it more easy to use than my xda2s, I've even been using pocket putty at work doin admin network stuff (just showing off), its like a second screen! lol. I'm even on it now replyin! I couldn't go back!
well I've had my say
I give it 10/10.
Out of interest, what is Pocket Putty? Just googled it and was none the wiser as to what it does! Sorry for my ignorance!

100% agree. In a few years many companies will build devices like this.
Why did we have to wait so long for WMdevices with a keyboard?
Huib

well arrived today but i had to work late so just finished looking at it.
It looks great not as large as i thought either.

Im Picking mine up today!
I have ahd a little play with it, in the store and its not bad yunno! OK I too was little put of by the size but now that I have held the device and played a litlle it is looking really good!
Co-Pilot seems to work on it too which is a bonus!
The tablet style screen has huuge potential! All i need now is too find a way of securing it to my dashboard!
This is as far as its got so far
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/VGA so far.zip
Note to have your own windows boot screen replace with your own welcomehead.96.png
You use at own risk, nothing to do with me, but ive not had any troubles so far. This will create a security hole in your WM5 windows system.
thanks for the efforts carnivor, but i dont think the ftp is working, or basically i cant access it. tried the browser and an ftp client. cannot connect to the server, it times out.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
access the ftp through there
Would love to give it a go, but just not quite brave enough - anyone post any screengrabs of some popular screens to see?
Thanks a bunch for creating the zip file, Carnivor. Makes things nice and easy
I managed to rip the MSN messenger dlls from my kjam. Here they are. Messenger now works fine in VGA mode.

Those files were set with Read Only and System attributes and Activesync refused to copy those files to my Jasjar until I removed those attributes. After that they copied fine.
Thanks for the files

What do the VGA Messenger dll's do exactly?

Allow MSN Messenger to work when in real VGA mode. Without them the app just hangs or fails to start up.
Ok, those dll's are purrrfect!!!!!
ive attached the latest vga stuff time date stamped
its got the msnm dl''s alldone in it.
also i dont really think the phone skin is going to be a major problem, i see on buzz's site they're skinning the phone app, i used a couple of the tweaks to change my qvga dialler background, so maybe the rest aint as hard as first thought. I say that in the tense that buzz prob speant hours of brain cells working it all out.
Ohh rilot, you are a deamon, msn this res is wicked!!! 22 contacts in landscape mode, godda be some kind of a record, i mean its actually useful now, better than the usual 2 is it? hehe
Can anyone post some screengrabs?
I'll try to get some screenshots up tonight.
V
here ya go, was before i started playing with the ozvga settings tho, looks better now
Carnivor, looks lovely: get the feeling that guy in the first pic just felt his trouser pocket distend and rip with the jasjar. Man, I'm afriad to pocket it and get a hernia. But it has such a nice solid feel to it, like a mini tombstone. They should advertise that as a feature! Engraved...
I've also noticed that I can feel the electric charge buzz when using it and holding the metalic top. I'd be careful of using it in the bath!
Carnivor: how do you find wisbar's skinning? Does it impact on speed? It's quite cool.
V
wisbar is good, the .12 is alot better, but you do still notice the improvement when you close it.
buzz, i was refering to buzz_lightyear, a guru on things wm based
Ok I'm a nOOb here, can someone tell me what to do with the .CAB file in the archive ?
Please
Carnivor, this is just awesome! Working well with WA2 AND WAD! Quite surprised was I!
Some issues I am having that u may already know how to solve, in which case I'd appreciate ur input:
- Fonts tough on eyes. What changes do u recommend over and above ozVGA settings?
- Some dialog boxes only show half the text b4 the yes/no buttons overwrite the bottom part. Any ideas?
- PIN pad is all overlapped; not a big deal
- BUT, phone pad is a bit of an issue; too small and I have to turn off quickdial. Any ideas on this?
- My SIP keyboard loses its skin. Can the skins on buzz's board be applied somehow?
- Calculator keys too small; do u know of a working calc app cos I truly need a calculator available at all times
- My oh-so-pretty WA2 and WAD hi-res themes need to take a trip back to low-res world else the buttons are too big! Darn!
I'm gonna try sticking to this mode. Hell, all the apps I've got working well on WM5/VGA work just as well under this mode, so why go back? and PIE is OH SO PRETTTTTTYYYY!!!!
PS: What do u use for screen shots on WM5? Would like to post a few of mine.

mine doesn't show balloon too.. and one more thing is that my cab is 5,96 mb
how is possible that your is 6,5 mb??? really strange... except if.... in this meaning time they have updated the cab....
well. installed...
it's 6MB because includes Skype, the beta panel was just the panel, skype needed to be installed appart.
this version comes with skype 2.5 (not 3.0 beta) and laucnehs a lot faster also, as said, earphone works by default without any tweak!!
at last, free and low cost calls from everywere.

have you the Balloons GUID?
the most important thing of this version should be for who have the xperia the Balloon graphical user interface like in the spot on site... Couse it should have a very simply user interface and with bigger bottoms... that could be fantastic... but it seem that we have not yet news..
they seemed to he pulled it from the site, so there might be a prob somewhere
could anyone upload the cab somewhere, please? can't download it from the SE site via phone
it is still there as far as i can see

Thank you very much, mate
Even if the multitouch bug is present, with configuration 2, it's still playable
It's fluid and great...
Really loving it
I thanks for the head-up.
I'm super surprised how it seems smooth... I've just tried it yesterday on my wife's Ipod because there is a free demo on it and it doesn't run as good as on your vid.
Can you tell me if your device have any kind of overclock config or if it's stock?
Thanks.
I bought the Game! But with this Multitouch-Bug its a NO Go for me. Can you tell me if its a Game related Problem or a Phone related problem?
hey man it´s works fine, please tell what you do,
i tryed to play this game a several times, and try a several ways, but i never have sucess, where you download the file?
and need some config for make this work?
sorry for my bad english it´s not my first language
what is the way to start it? after installing it, the phone back to home!
link of download pleaseeee
Desire NOVA
I too had the return to home screen problem until I brought the game directly from the Gameloft website, they will send a download link via text and when you install it will place 80Mb of data on your SD Card. This version works perfect on desire.
If you have install any other versions of the game you must delete all of the data from you sd card before downloading to new version, as they mush have also updated this to work on Desire.
And it the best game so far.

Yes, this bug is boring, but I am using in options the configuration 2, there you can make appear the pad where I want.
Just watch this < VIDEO > and try to understand the bug. Then you simply need to avoid it.
So, when I am running, I make the pad appear down left of the screen, and I move the view using the up right of the screen.
When I am shooting, I make the pad appear up left...
In fact, I try to avoid to create parallel lignes to the edge of the screen, and the bug doesn't appear...

You CAN'T ask warez, so I hope you weren't making it.
If you want to buy the game, just read my next quote and mainly what I put in bold.

They've withdrawn it for Desires due to the multitouch bug.

Wow, this game looks awesome!!
It's a pity they withdrew it for our Desires though...
I have played it, GREAT game. Still amazes me it is possible on such a small device
Now they added a sort of detection because I tried downloading the Dorid X version of Modern Combat and open the URL with opera and I received the error that the game is not available on Desire.Same with N.O.V.A
