So man in a van did arrive – 5 to 9 this morning. Some quick barcode scanning and I had another white box containing a new TyTN II handset thrust into my sweaty palm. So anyone like to hazard a guess as to how long this one might survive – given that the time between arrival and failing is getting less each time – this one might just see the week out if things go as before?
Researching the particular issue I have found leads me to think it is something particular to the setup of the phone once its synchronised and has some data on it. However the irony is that the last two have had a standard configuration – no additional software – just a memory card. A handset is pretty far gone when it cannot hard reset ??
So watch this space for the next terrifying episode of “Text of Death” ……
I have been pleasantly surprised by the new layout used in the current beta of Skype version 4. The provision of an easier way to switch between conversations that are ongoing and the contacts you have does actually benefit the ease of use. The conversation pane is also changed and its easier to follow the flow of a conversation. Generally the layout is clearer and sharper than previous versions – the addition of tabs to call phones – look up people and business and also to shop from the skype shop.
All in all worth taking a look at – improvements in sound always beneficial !!!

TYTN IV (well actually TYTN II just the 4th one I have) »« Can't stand losing you ?
I see you’ve sent my handset back
And my handset covers and they’re all scratched
I cant see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on dialing doesnt make no sense
Apologies to The Police ….
My Tytn II bit the dust – again – I know I can’t quite believe it.
I called Orange and explained – then discovered that the two previous reports of the same problem have been mis-reported. They were all the same – phone stops working after a text and then cannot be hard reset !!! How hard is that to get reported ?
So the man in the van is coming tomorrow to give me another Tytn II …
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant
I cant stand losing you
I cant stand losing you
I cant stand losing you
I cant stand losing you
