s105 external caller id problems? HOOKED UP S105

[moneyshot]

in my quest to find the perfect non budget busting phone, the s105 came across my path. i've been going through the user reviews like a maniac and one of the only main ones that people complained about was the sometimes tempermental exterior caller id? like the light usually never comes on or something so you dont know who's calling at night. anyone experiencing these types of problems or have any further input?


also, im one of those guys who like to hook up everything possible... i was trying to find nice accessories for this phone and the list was limited, was i looking in the wrong place or is this just not gonna happen for this model?

Never had that problem. The backlight comes on when a call is received. If you want to look at the time on the external display in the dark, just hold the volume button for a few seconds.

I use to use the phone and never had the problem either. Just like the last person pointed out, the light comes on when the call comes in, so I don't know who wrote those reviews, or what they were talking about.
The phone doesn't have much to hook it up to. There aren't much accessories, and even a simple sync with your PC takes alot of work.

I recently got this phone, SPV Smartphone; It is the ultimate phone. I have Doom on my phone. That great.

So I can use this phone on Tmobile? I recently got one of the stinger prototypes that Microsoft was working on, but then discontinued relations with stinger. They had a surplus of them lying around at work (Microsoft) and they gave me one.....Its ok, but I think this SPV is better. Since this stinger was a prototype, its not the most asthetically pleasing phone, but it gets attention. The shell of this one is pretty cheap plastic and the buttons are not the most responsive to pushes, but I like the phone overall. unfortunately, I am not able to sell this because its not yet FCC approved (reason for being prototype) and technically its confidential microsoft property [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Bummer....I like my other phones better.

Yes, you can use this with T-Mobile. I have one for personal use, and it's the phone of my dreams. I use it with T-Mobile, and all of the features work with T-Mobile too.
The SPV is a very strong and durable phone. It also has all the features you can dream of. It runs the Windows Smartphone Operating System, and new programs are being made everyday for it (seriously).

Let me know if you have anymore questions.
