The reason I sold it was because I only got it to review it, not to keep it.

As for RAM, yeah 64MB is not a lot but I think it’s do-able. I could navigate without problems with it. Why would you want to run many intensive applications at the same time anyway? Don’t we usually just focus on one thing at a time? Also, I think WM6.1, which should be released soon, would make any device running it perform faster.

With regards to dropped connections, I would recommend that you try and keep the Phone Settings to UMTS instead of Auto. There are drawbacks to this which I will explain. When you are on Auto, the device will search for the strongest network, sometimes this would be Edge, sometimes this could be 3G. So even though you may be on AT&T, you are constantly switching between these 2 ‘networks’ (if I may call it that) and that could be responsible for the dropping.

Now, if you switch to either UMTS or GSM, then it will always lock on to this network and minimize or even eliminate dropping. Which is great. But if you do not have great UMTS coverage, then in areas where UMTS is weak, you might not get a reception. If you choose GSM, chances of a weak reception are slim to none because it’s like the basic network which a lot of phones use. However, when you want to use a high speed data connection, you would have to constantly change settings.

So what can you do? My advice would be to switch to GSM and get an application (there are few out there, so choose the one that suits you best) that allows you to switch between GSM and UMTS networks easily. That way, you should experience lower droppings.

Anyway, this is not an M800 or X800 forum, it’s just a place for discussion so don’t worry about it. We would love to hear your findings on your M800 when you get it.

I am on T-Mobile so I can’t say for AT&T but an M800 user on that network claims some problems as well. He says he is not able to make calls and after a while, I did not follow the discussion so I am not too sure what the cause was. For me, I popped in a SIM card from Singapore and it uses the Cingular (AT&T) network. My M800 worked fine under such conditions so I am not sure if his was a case of software conflict or bad device quality.

That being said, you cannot run the M800 with all the Eten applications. Most of them, I would not recommend you install unless you have a pressing need for it. For me, the M800 functioned really well and reliable when it was on a clean install. I did have some Eten applications that I installed later on the Storage card but these were a few and did not hamper it’s performance. There are some tweaks you can definitely try out like increasing Font Cache and decreasing Page Pool to speed things up on your end.

At the end of the day, you’ll need to tweak the device to get it to function as you would like to.

It is not the case with the M800 on my end. I actually did the same demo test but at 500% speed to see how it would fare and it fared pretty well. It was not laggy like the Tilt that you see in the video.
