hi, i used to sotre my contacts in mirctosoft excel, when i try to import over to microsoft outlook, it says that i didnt name a range for my data, hence cannot import over, anyone knows how to work this out?

hi reyorz,

i think it has to be in a format that outlook recognise and not any other format that u create on your own.

if this is the case, maybe u can use your current s/w that is provided by your phone, export the contacts to a format that outlook supports. after which, u can import using outlook.

good luck..

hi arunrgupta,

mine worked. during installation:
1) after the status bar has finished, it will 'hang' for a while.
2) be patient n wait.
3) touch e phone on n off to prevent it from sleeping.
4) then a screen will come on to ask u choose screen resolution. choose the 1st one (cant rem the text shown :brooding: )
5) follow the screen instructions from there on.

good luck :grin:

Yes, it should not hang.
Touchpal indeed is the best sip around. Try it.

I dont think it hangs, make sure you download the version for WM6.1 support.

Hi fellow Omnians,

I installed ZTA4 QVGA in My Device & it works fine.

I installed SIPChange in My Device but no matter how I set other input methods as default, the ZTA4 always override that and becomes the default after a soft reset. I tried to uninstall both but message box appears and say it cannot remove.

Also, anyone knows how to expand the box which we write our sms in the threaded sms. The current box is miserably small and it is right at the bottom of the screen making reading very dificult.

Many thanks in advance.
