Does the phonepad actually add the functionality to make voice calls (over gsm) with the shift and not only just data use ? Otherwise there isn't a reason to add the dailpad ?

[PaulOBrien]

No, phone pad is a text input method. Nothing actually to do with phone calls, it gives you predictive text like a normal phone dial pad.

Paul,

The guys over at GottaBeMobile.com have come up with an interesting point: do SHIFTpacks infringe upon any licensing agreements (i.e. is the Shift licensed for full WinMob 6)?

Now I know most people aren't really that worried when we hack our devices to bits (especially with the stuff we get from XDA-devs) but it's worth considering.

I don't know if you've checked this out at all - the GBM guys are apparently asking MS.

That aside, this is a great piece of work and may encourage some to shell out where perhaps they wouldn't have considered it with the Shift in it's normal "crippled" state. It will be intersting to see if there is any impact on sales. I still, however, think the device is overpriced and will need a price reduction before it really takes off.

Colin.

Interesting piece on the sales aspect! I think you're also part of a majority who feel the Shift is overpriced, at least at current specs. Bump the battery life and put an atom proc in there (or a core solo?) and i'd be happier with the cost.

Still, the atom's aren't all they're cracked up to be are they (at least not from the performance side of things). I would expect at least 3 hours from a device such as this but obviously the more the merrier.

Nice one Paul. Question though - is there a way to hard reset the WM6 side of the SHIFT and if so does the liberation survive?

Dade

[PaulOBrien]

You can hard reset from the settings menu, but no, the liberation doesn't survive.

Makes sense as you are not overwriting anything in ROM. You would need to create a new ROM which included the liberate files and flash that.

Guessed that was the case but thought I'd ask a leading question.

Added Office Mobile 6.1 and Notes SHIFTpacks.

Hello,

I tried to "liberate my shift" using the method outlined. I followed it and received the liberate command in the settings menu. But when I click on it, it begins and then says "Installatino of Shiftpack.liberate.cab was unsuccessful".

Please let me know if there is something else I need to do. Thanks.

Oddness... and you saved the main liberate CAB in the default location (NOT settings)?

Paul,

Thanks for the video. I had no problems getting this to work. Is there a way to get snapvue to recognise the SD memory card slot. I want to use it to play music using windows media player.
Also is there a way to enable wifi on snapvue?


Thanks
