    Would you be interested in the HD Mini?



    It's thicker tho, one of the beauties of the HD2 is that it's not thick.


  2. Nope. It's a Windows Mobile thing.
  3. unusual. Changing the product code on the 5800 has unlocked it. Hmmm thats new


  4. That is good news Changing the product code also deleted all the branded crap apps on the phone? Or did you need to change the product code to install the generic firmware?
  5. Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've posted in here... but I have a question.

    If I wanted to transfer certain files (music, pictures, a few documents) onto an external HD from a computer with a virus, would the virus affect a computer that the said files are transferred onto from the external? If I confused anyone, it would be "infected computer --> external --> new computer." Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
  6. Depends on the virus. Make sure you have a virus scanner installed on the 'other' computer. Be careful with copying program files, documents and music should be relatively save to copy. But again use a virus scanner!
  7. Also depends on where the virus got in to. If it hit the Windows folder or Program Files, then it shouldn't be too much worry if you're not copying from there.

    Rarely would a virus infect MP3s or video files.
  8. Just a quick update on a query asked a few months back about MP3 players, i went for the Sanza Clip 4GB, i'm abit tight for cash at the moment so i'll just buy a memory card when i need more space

    Thanks guys!

    So, I now have two things to get me through the virus:

    - Seagate "Expansion" 1 TB External Hard Drive
    - Norton Security Suite

    Luckily, my internet provider offers the $160 Norton program for free! (Or course, after the fact lol)

    Unfortunately, it has to be crashed. Luckily, I still have the Vista re-installation disk. Such a pain..

    A pain indeed.

    What I would suggest is downloading/running a little virus protection program called "Spybot". I just googled it and found a download for it after my computer got a really, really bad trojan. They say those things are ridiculously hard to get off, but I followed a few online tutorials, and the combination of me doing a little C:\ hunting of my own, and using the Spybot program, I wiped that trojan from my machine like it never even existed.

    Sorry, I know that sounds like some spammy advertisement, but I owe it a great deal of thanks. Couldn't believe it was free.

    Sometimes it gets annoying because it asks me if I want to accept or deny simply registry changes, but I'm sure there's a way to manage those and make them a little less frequent, but sometimes I feel like they're saving my ass. May want to give it a try at scanning the new hard drive once you get your stuff transferred, it's nit-picky.

    We have Trend Micro-Internet Security as well, and while it does a good job, it didn't clean the trojan like the Spybot program did. Dunno why.
