Cool. any updates on provider availability plans for Germany? (especially Vodafone)

das sieht ja ausgesprochen gut aus. Weisst Du schon, wann Vodafone das in D bringt? Konnte nichts auf der Website finden...

T-Mobile hat ihn schon. Vodafone habe ich angefragt.

Ich warte nun schon seit zwei Monaten auf das Gerät, hab es quasi "pre-ordered" aber mein Anbieter die Mobilkom Austria hat ihn noch nicht im Angebot ;-(

How did you do the screen shots?

Connect to a Windows machine. Open cmd.exe. Run this:

c:\path\to\javaloader.exe -usb screenshot filename.bmp

Were you running 4.6.0.112?

I don't know about the release of the Bold sorry (It failed before I could start any documented tests).
