Is there a built-in RSS reader? If so you can update your RSS feed and choose to show the tickers in standby mode. At least this is how it works on my C702.

Personally I think that the W910 and the G705 together with the C902 are the best-looking phones of the last years...

Yes it does have a RSS reader on media application. Now the ticker is shown back after update. Thank you.

Thanks

Launched last week. I paid Euro 77 (S$148) for G705 with Euro 13 (S$25) per month contract 21 motnhs with freebies like bluetooth headset hbh-iv835 and gamelof jukebox. With freebies, the phones itself is as good as free. Overwhelming respond.

No contract sim free is retailing at around Euro 286 here http://www.mobilesquare.com.sg/products/products_listing.asp?cid=13

Elegant and classy phone The front gloss is finger magnet just like W980. The single led is not as bright as K750 and xenon attachment cannot be used.

On the web browsing mode, the 3,6,9 and # key function as browser shortcuts.




Minor thing I dont like is the flat dpad unlike w910.

So far so good. The annoying part is the flat dpad. Software is ok. No hang just yet, but probably I havent multi task too much with it. As mentioned before the single led is not as bright as dual led.

It runs S500 everchanging themes alright. It has a video call and front camera like w910 same resolution. This is a W910 supposedly to be.

As I have enough of heavy brick phones (X1, N95) a slim and light G705 is a nice change. It is easy to slip into front pocket on the weekend.

Browsing on low 3.5G signal maybe slow (as if hang) esp when its switch to gprs (even N95-2 also has a same problem). WIFI is good, no problem. RSS reader ticker is nice.

Guys, just another question... See the picture on the first page where the G705 and the W910 are both in one picture... They seem so similar and the platform seems to be the same. Would it work if we flash a G705 with W910 software? (except the wifi I know) . What do you think?
