Should I get the Trophy? Advice appreciated

[joemd60]

I can only dream of a Netflix type of service here in the UK joemd60. Oh and you're most welcome.

You can call me Joe. I hope it comes out your way, it really is a great service.

I doub't we'll ever see Netfix outside of the US due to all the licensing nonsense Joe, but never say never.

And you can call me The Wee Bear LOL.

Well I ordered the Trophy, wish me luck. One other question I forgot to ask, what is the available IM clients.

are you referring to native clients? Windows Messenger is the only native IM client I have on my phone.

Thanks and yes, on my BB I have a variety of Instant messenger choices. Those are not really important to me since I rarely use them. I can assume if it's a Windows phone, then Windows messenger would be the default IM client.

I am not a case person when it comes to phones. I know a lot of the Smartphones have Gorilla glass, but not sure if the Trophy does. Should I get a screen saver? and if so, any recommendations? Thanks.

Hey everyone, I got my Trophy today! Very nice user friendly device.

Although I am having a problem syncing to my laptop. It is having a hard time reading my phone, the device driver keeps failing.
Ok, the device is loaded on my laptop, yet when I plug in the USB cable and open my computer. The phone is nowhere to be found, I have pics I would like to load onto my phone.
The bluetooth does not work on m, Thanks. y laptop, so USB is my only option. Any help would be appreciated.

for now, you're going to have to use the Zune software. Import the photos into Zune, then connect your phone to the computer and sync the photos over.

I have a lemon for a laptop. The screen is now completely black yet its on. I will load Zune once I am up and running again. Now I am also curious, with all this talk about Mango. If it becomes available as well as other updates to the phone. How do we get it,do they send a message to your phone? Thanks again WB for helping me out.

Joe, when I plug my Zune in, the software automatically opens. After my device is logged in, the software tells me if there a device update available. I'm guessing it will be the same for the phone.

You can also go to settings, scroll to the bottom and you're phone will say whether any updates have been found.

Thanks again WB, once I get my laptop back I will install Zune. I assume from the book I got with the phone, it will come from online Windowsphone.com. Hopefully there won't be any issues from there.

Ok,I just discovered that you cannot forward text messages. Or am I doing something wrong?

If you tap and hold on a text a menu will pop up that gives you the option to forward.

I'm not sure if windowsphone.com will have the Zune software or not. You can go to zune.net and the software is available there.
