Disappointing Design of N73

The memory card jack of the phone at the bottom of the cell phone has disappointed.
I sweat a lot generally and also talk for over hours on the phone. last summer I while I was talking over the phone.
 sweat made its way to the memory jack. The memry card then lost all the data. When the phone was opend at the nokia care, it was full of salt. I was warned of damaging the motherboard, if i wished to put it for service or do anything
to the phone. They washed their hands off and I had to, with great difficulty convince them to atleast clean the MMC jack.
Some of you may advice me to use the headphones. After what happened with my phone, I was cautious and did the same. The headphones do hav an impressive sound output, but they coil me like, a Python coiling its prey,
Sounds funny but its very very irritating. the no of times I remove and plug the earphones only made the earphone jack bigger and now even earphones dont work.
Hope somebody is listening...
The good part is i am very much impressed with the camera features of this phone. Awesome 3.2 ! Good Shutter and nice night mode pics...Wondering why they didnt add the feature of 16M color display.. That would have created ripples.

You could use a wireless earpiece...
The N73 is an old model that I doubt is being sold any more. There are now newer S60 phones with 16M colour displays that are generally more responsive than the N73 and also accept microSD cards of 8 and 16GB capacity instead of the 2GB that the N73 is limited to.

  • Where is my n73 new firmware update

    i heard that new firmware for n73 was released from nokia (V4.0723.2.0.1/06.06.07)and i tried to update my n73 firmware, but my NSU keep telling me that i already install latest firmware and i check on my phone, but that too disappointed that my n73 still not up to date (V3.0704.1.0.1). I want my n73 firmware to be update. It's not fair to users like me.
    I hope nokia will overcome this problem.. I want my n73 firmware to be update.

    Hi rouin - Although Nokia has released an updated firmware for the N73, it will only be for a certain product codes (you can find your product code under your battery compartment).
    If you received your phone as part of a contract then your phone will be tied in to that network operator - e.g. Vodafone, Orange and so on. If this is the case then you will have to wait until they authorise the release of the firmware for the N73 - there's no way around this unfortunately.

  • I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

    I've got a MacBook Pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work using Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

    In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
    If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page.  At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
    Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often.  This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
    I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector.  Computer monitor first, TV second.  But the thing is only 27 in.  Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.

    Thank you for your service.
    I was most disappointed to find, however, that the letters I really wanted (Adobe Garamond Alternate Caps) is not in this collection and indeed, one now has to use another fancy designing program to construct those letters. I can’t afford to buy Photoshop just to construct two special capital letters. I’ve used the B and M in my logo for Balquhidder Music for years - but from jpgs - and I was hoping to have more flexibility in the future. I spent $169 to make sure I am in compliance. But I didn’t get anything of use to me.
    I can’t understand why those Alternate Caps are not part of this - or any other package. I thought Adobe was capable of amazing things.
    I assume I am whistling in the dark. So have a nice day.

    Actually, when Adobe moved from Type 1 fonts to OpenType CFF fonts, all the so-called “expert typefaces” were consolidated into the base fonts. In other words Adobe Garamond Pro Regular not only has the Western Latin characters of the original Type 1 version of Adobe Garamond, but also has alternate Latin capitals (with titling, titling floating accents, and stylistic alternates), alternate Latin lowercase (swash and superiors), Latin small capitals (alphabetic and floating accents), ligatures, multiple numeric forms (including lining tabular, lining proportional, oldstyle tabular, oldstyle proportional, superscripts, scientific inferior, numerator, denominator forms, fractions, mathematical operators, etc.) plus a raft of other special symbols.
    OpenType fonts are Unicode-based and allow for more than the 256 characters in Type 1 fonts which required multiple typefaces all with mappings to a standard keyboard to accommodate all these glyphs.
    Thus, hopefully your disappointment will turn to joy.
    To assist you in understanding OpenType fonts and to show you what is in the current Adobe Garamond fonts, I have attached a few PDF files for your perusal.
    Let us know if you have any questions.

  • N73 camera disappointing, purple/pink images!!

    Hi folks, just spent a lot of money on a N73, when taking a picture on the main camera, once auto focus has fixed an image of a pale pink / purple appears which is way off the mark interms of true colour andquality. However all apeears ok as the captured image is then displayed. But upon uploading to my computer the image is again pink/purple in coloue especially on the white subject. I have tried 2 N73's and they are noth the same.
    My ols N70 2m camera produced far superior pics than this.
    Any one else experienced this and is there an firmware software upgrade available? as it stands the camera isn't worth using asnd wish i'd bought a sony erricson

    You would think most of the reviewers are color-blind based on their enthusiastic write-ups on the Nokia N73 camera.
    Besides the issue of compression, the camera's auto-white balance function also seems to be poor. If you want better looking images, manually select white balance - you'll find that even your outdoor shots will come out a little bit better - or try fixing white balance on your existing photos and you'll see remarkable improvement.
    Unfortunately, it does not seem to be possible to have the camera set by default to a particular white-balance mode - every time you restart it is back to 'Auto' and the disappointing colors (black is nearly always off).
    But the most frustrating thing of all (I'm actually willing to pardon the suboptimal colors) is the shutter lag. The bottom line is that either the processor or the S60 operating system is not up to the task of taking a standard snap-shot. The shutter lag on the camera (even if you choose images with less pixels) is huge. To see why it's probably a software/hardware issue, just look at how slow the phone is at opening most Java applications or even loading up the screen for a new SMS after you press a short-cut button.
    There really are many excellent features on the N73, but as far as the camera is concerned, Nokia has over-promised and under-delivered.

  • TS1702 I purchased an app from iTunes home design by blue lotus. It doesn't work. This was the first app I actually purchased. Needless to say I am very disappointed and reluctant to purchase any further apps. Can you help?

    I purchased my first app from the iTunes Store. Needless to say it was not a good experience. I purchased home design by blue lotus and it does nothing. It blinks on for a moment then shuts down. The response I received from apple was all sales final but you can contact the vendor. Does anyone know how to do that?

    Go to itunes store where you bought it, find the app, look at the page, ti will have the link to the app maker

  • One year on MacBook Pro (almost) - disappointed

    For Christmas last year, I was offered a 15 inch MacBook Pro. It was, by far, the best present I ever got.
    Up until then, I was schlepping around a Dell Latitude. I had had it for six years and that Dell was a reliable little machine, even though it did not have half the cachet of a shiny, aluminum-encased MacBook Pro.
    Since December of 2010, I have become an Apple user exclusively. I got an iPhone, and recently got an iPad.
    But to me, the most important device in my mini-collection is the MacBook Pro. It is my professional computer, the one I use to write and communicate with.
    Shortly after getting it as a present I purchased Office for Mac, the 2011 edition.
    Few days after receiving the MacBook Pro, I experienced strange graphics jamming when using Facebook; the screen literally turned into Poltergeist.
    I took it back to the Apple store in Tysons Corner, VA and got a new one. This was my first introduction to Apple Computers' great fallability. To discover such a fundamental flaw on a PC would be unheard of.
    The problem no longer exists, except for the occasional graphic hiccup (recently, when I would scroll down a web page, stripes of the image would remain frozen in place and get spread over the entire screen like jam as I tried to scroll up and down).
    My MacBook Pro often freezes. I see the beachball every other day.
    Today I was performing a paste in Word and the application crashed altogether.
    Safari has never worked. I start it up and the screen remains blank. I read somewhere in the forums that I can switch to a guest account and use it there. That does work, but to say that that is an impractical solution is an understatement (ie., user settings--passwords, cookies, bookmarks--aren't saved, so that's no good). Why can I not use Apple's Safari on an Apple computer is baffling to me and is very telling. It reveals something fundamentally flawed in the way Apple designs its products. Because if a flaw like this one can make it through their Quality Assurance workflow, guess what? That's an issue.
    Another problem is that Mozila used to crash regularly until I turned off some of the browser's features. Now Mozila crashes only every once in a while.
    After a year of using Mac, I do not feel secure about this product or this company. I feel like I have a device which is imperfect, a laptop that's fallible, that was assembled carelessly. I feel like the company that is behind the product is full of holes and lack maturity in the way they produce the devices which has made them so famous.
    Although I would not go back to PC machines, I am greatly disappointed in Apple's MacBook Pro.
    My Dell Latitude never gave me any problems whatsoever. That machine was rock-solid and chugged along, with loyalty.
    It would be silly of me to try and convince you of buying a PC -- Macs are sexy and they're cool and that's what you want. But know that you're not getting a machine that's assembled with the same degree of professionalism as a Dell, an IBM or a SONY. Be aware that Macs are fallible machines and that under that beautiful and shiny exterior lies an imperfect core.

    Sounds like you've been extremely unlucky. Why don't you make apple get you a new one again, if this machine is also flawed?? I have a mac pro and a macbook pro, and even though my mac pro went down today (hopefully something i'll manage to fix), i must say that that machine has been the most stable machine i've ever owned. It's basically been switched on non-stop for 5 1/2 years, the only times i've ever rebooted it has been after installing some software requiring a reboot, and it's always been rock-solid. I've only had my macbook for a year now, but so far it's also a winner. Only thing i dislike about it is the case-design, as it has a spot wich is extremely vulnerable to liquid damage. It's the opening between the screen and the rest of the case. However an opening is needed there for air-flow, but it could be designed in a smarter way.

  • One design for computer and mobile

    Hi, i'm kind of a nubie to Muse CC, but love what i've seen so far...so much so that i also purchased a one-year subscription to muse-themes.com, in order to download a theme that would give me a head-start with a new portfolio site i have to do for myself.
    Just to explain why i'm only a noob to Muse CC, but not to web-design as a whole:
    I have used the Creative Suites for many, many years, and before that used Photoshop and Dreamweaver to "hand program" my sites, so i'm an HTML veteran of 15 years...no experience with Javascript or anything like that, but i've done my own sites from scratch since the old Netscape days.
    Back to my issue/question:
    After modifying the template i downloaded from muse-themes.com and doing a first few hours of customization on it (some text, headers and images) and using business catalyst to preview what i've done, and quite liked it for a first start, but when checking the design on my iPad, i discovered with disappointment that not only did it not show *any* of my customizations (only the original, generic theme design and content), but even then, menu items had weird glitches, and the long scrolling content of the computer version didn't appear after the first couple of page-heights.
    Let's forget about the glitches for moment...my main question is:
    If a theme has been designed with Desktop, Tabel and Phone versions in mind, will i have to maintain content and all changes *separately* for all 3 platforms?! is there a way to "sync" changes between platforms...in other words, since Computer and Tablet versions should pretty much be exactly the same, can i have Muse automatically interpret what i do for the Computer version *also* for the Tablet version? i do understand that the Phone version should get special attention, but even then, shouldn't text and header changes "trickle down" through all versions of the site?
    Am i doing something wrong here, or is building 3 separate versions independently really what i am expected to do?
    I keep seeing many references to "responsive UI designs"...is this why people work on one responsive design, rather than on 3 separate versions, or are those issues not really related?
    Excuse my naive questions, but i have a difficult time believing that Muse CC, and/or a custom theme, purchased from a reputable 3rd party company (such as muse-themes), would require me to maintain 3 websites for 3 device platforms, with no "communication" between the 3 during the design process...there must be a way to "sync" my changes/updates, or is this really so?
    Just to illustrate what i am talking about, here is the first revision of the theme i purchased:
    http://kruegervp.businesscatalyst.com/index.html#top

    Hope I can help here .....
    The first issue is most likely a Business Catalyst caching issue that pops up occasionally. Or it could be that the original template had a Tablet view done and that is what you are seeing instead of the desktop view.
    Yes, you will need to maintain content seperately on the different views. This is actually a good thing in my opinion as you likely won't want all the same content on all three.  As for the responsive sites, while yes you do have to only update once it also can take a much longer time to develop to get consistant results. With the so many different browser widths now it is getting more and more difficult to display the site consistantly and properly.
    So while one may be more to update it is much less to develop and the other is much more to develop but less to maintain. It works out in the end.

  • What is the replacement for design view in in flex builder 4.7 for cs extension builder?

    Because design view is not available in flash builder than what is the use of extension builder in UI designing now we have to do design UI with xml which is very time consuming and boring  if there is any replacemnt for it than please help me .1 more thing i want to know is that when i make new default project in extension builder(flash builder 4.6) than it also not able to load design mode errror is
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.cside.libsinstaller_2.0.0.4-33034\archive\cslibs\2.0\4.5\re lease\apedelta.swc- not respondingSWC file failed to load. Any component dependent on this SWC file will not be displayed in the Design Mode.The SWC may have failed to load because of:
    *  Incompatible definitions caused by usage of a different SDK version
    *  Missing referred class definitions

    I have researched this quite considerably and my understanding is that Adobe have no intention of supporting Design View any more for Extension Builder.  In my opinion a very disappointing decision and one that is hard to comprehend.
    The best workaround I can find is to create the majority of your design in a parallel, non Extension Builder, project and then convert/import your design into your Extension.  This is by no means as satisfactory as having Design View for the Extension you are writing but it is better than simply creating your layout by guess work/trial and error.
    Although this has not been announced by Adobe, I have a suspicion that the reason they have decided not to put any further resources into fixing Design View is that Extension Builder as we know it is going to be abandoned soon, probably replaced with an HTML5/JavaScript method of building extensions.  My concern with this is that, other than wanting reassurances that there will be backward compatibility support for old extensions, There will not be a way of compiling an extension in a way that prevents people from seeing your code.
    This is all speculation and I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.  Hope this has helped.

  • How can i exchange for the new design

    Last year my sister purchased a ipod shuffle 3rd gen, for my 10 yr old daughter. She bought it from Target and spent $145.00 at that time. Shortly there after i became aware apple had replace this 3rd gen shuffle with a new design. One that is more user friendly, especially for my 10 yr old. I have to say we have been very disappoint with her ipod for several reasons.
    1. there is no face so you cant see what your doing
    2. you must memorize the amount of clicks in order to operate it.
    3. we have only been able to upload new music to her ipod once since she got it a year ago. Even with online tech support,reading online forums,owner manuals, help from family and friends. To no avail.
    She has it still in the box neatly packed away. Its used as a show piece on her dresser to show that she has an (ipod). Neadless to say she does not use it,does not  like it mainly because there is no display panel which make it very difficult for her to function.
    So how can i exchange/replace the old design ipod shuffle generation 3  for the new design.

  • I'm so disappointed with my new Creative Zen

    hi Amy,Its probably best to go into Zen Media Explorer, assuming you have loaded the software from the supplied disc, the open up your song files anf delete using your delete button on your keyboard, Try it once just to make sure yHey everyone, I was hoping one of you may be able to help me. My mp3 is playing up in that when I try to skip tracks or do anything using the push buttons nothing happens. I have emailed Creative and they have emailed back with some instructions but all of the answers need me to be able to select things on my mp3 which I can't do without clicking the buttons....which don't work! I have searced through this site for a contact number (I'm in England btw). If anyone can help, please give me a shout. I go on holiday in 2 weeks and can't stand the thought of being MP3-less! Cheers Jess xu I've been a loyal Creative customer for over three years now. I've never been one to follow the crowd, so when I looked to purchase my first mp3 player over 3 years ago, I bought a Zen Touch 40gb instead of following everyone else and buying a very well-known brand made by a rival company. I found the build-quality, sound quality and ease of use to be far superior to my friends' rival brand mp3 players, so much so that when I was looking for a replacement mp3 and video player, I didn't hesitate to buy a new 60gb ZV:M from my local Comet store. That's when my problems started. After two months my ZV:M gave up the ghost. I took it back to Comet for a replacement, only to be told that the ZV:M had been discontinued (despite the 60gb version only having been available for a few months!) and that I would have to have a refund or another brand of mp3 player. I was told by the salesperson in Comet that Creative were releasing a new brand of multimedia player, called the Zen at the end of September. I decided to wait for it's release. I decided to wait for the 6gb version. I waited... and waited... and waited. Eventually, my parents, panic-stricken at the thought that it was getting close to Christmas and I had no present, went ahead and bought the 8gb version. The Zen disappointed me in many areas. The finish is that gloss, scratch-if-you-look-at-me black. The screen got smudges just by sitting on my bedroom cabinent and when I tried to wipe them off it made little difference. The screen, although looks good, is just too small to watch any videos for any length of time and the smudges make the videos appear distorted. The buttons are clearly designed to be used by right-handed people (what about us lefties ). SD card is not intregrated into your music or video library. 8gb is simply not enough memory and there's no choice in Creative's product line-up for a large capacity, compact HDD-based multimedia player. I almost feel as though Creative have concided defeat to their rivals, when it's so clear that a lot of the technology that has made Creative's rivals so popular were developed by Creative themselves. Come on Creative, pull your socks up and take the fight to your rivals. I know you may consider flash-based memory devices as the future, but at the moment flash-memory is just too expensi've to use and a market for the higher capacity HDD-based player is still out there (imagine the possibiliies - listening to all your music in a lossless format with Creative's renowned audio quality!). I have, reluctantly, decided to take my Zen back tomorrow and until Creative decide to overhaul their entire multimedia player line, I cannot see me coming back to them. I suppose then this is kind of a goodbye. I'd like to thank all the people who have taken the time on these forums to help me, especially the mods (Cat and Dale spring to mind!) and I hope that on my way I've been able to help others who needed it. I hope to be back on here one day! Take care and have a Happy New Year!re doing it correctly then go for your life Kev

    Well, in his defense, his parents bought him the player so I guess we can't blame him. Though the 6 GB versions were available in November so I guess they really did get 'nervous' about Christmas and like to get their shopping done early! Kudo's to you for trying to remain with the Creative line but for what you're looking for it's obviously not the player for you. Creative seems to be fine-tuning their line for the audio crowd. I'm into mp3 players for the audio. Sure, the ability to watch video's and look at pictures on a decent screen is a plus but for me at least, it's all about the music. And with music, 6 GB is more than enough. Heck, 8 GB would have been more than enough for me. I'm a subscriber to Napster-to-go, so I don't feel the need to carry 00 plus GB of stuff on my portable player. I honestly don't understand the desire to watch movies or TV shows on tiny little screens. But you're also talking to a guy who doesn't watch television. What a complete waste of time and brain cells. Probably the **competitor products we can't discuss here** or one of those players would better suit your needs. Companies are definately picking their niche markets carefully and Creative's decision to not offer hard dri've players any more seems to definately be saying bye-bye to that market. I can't say I blame them. Hard dri'ves eventually give up the ghost and are quite delicate for people on the go. Good ridance, I say. Let Apple, Zune and all the others cater to the Z generation's need to be spoonfed their video/TV addictions anywhere and everywhere. I'll pass. It's one thing to be able to enjoy some music on the go and enhance an otherwise dull work day or dri've. But movies/TV shows at work, school, or wherever? Please. Cut the cord! Just my $.02 - YMMV!

  • IPod touch 4 requires MAJOR system overhaul.  Major Disappointment!!!!!!!

    Folks, I have a nice iMac that's about 3 years old.  Bought about 2 months before snow leopard, so I've been using 10.4 just fine until recently.  Daughter's iPod bit the dust, and she got a new iPod touch the Fourth.  What a disaster this whole experience has been.  Apple shows absolutely no deference to loyal customers.  This is the 5th iPod our family has purchased. 
    It will not run without the latest iTunes; and the latest iTunes will not run without OSuX 10.5 or later.  So, I got 10.6.3.  Major hassle having to upgrade OS, just to upgrade iTunes, just to get an iPod to work.  New OS has a little troube identifying the linksys wireless router I've been using forever, so had to do some troubleshooting just to get internet.  Apparently, if your wireless hub isn't an iAirport, Apple can't figure it out without you holding it's hand. 
    Downloaded latest iTunes, and the iPod was still a brick.  After much ******* around and research, and trying nearly every troubleshooting trick, I finally completely uninstalled iTunes and RELOADED the latest version again.  Voila, this time it worked. 
    I'm just starting to scratch the surface this disaster of a decision to let my child bring an iPod 4G into the house.    For starters, the Geniuses at apple designed snow leopard to be incompatible with that POS Aperture 1.5.6 I bought a few years ago.  So now, I have 40,000 photos that I can't access via Aperture until I purchase an upgrade.  WHAT!?!??!?!?!?!   I am annoyed and appalled that Apple would do this to me or any other customer.
    It is truly disappointing that Apple treats their software like disposable tissues.  As a consumer, I want stuff that's built to last.  I know they put some fluffy bells and whistles in every new release, but I have WAAAAYYYYY better things to do with my time and money than overhaul systems and upgrade every piece of software just so it WORKS.  If they're going to do this crap, they should be honest at the point of purchase and tell you it's not really a purchase.  It's a rental, and after 2-3 years, something will come along that will render your OS obsolete, and when that happens, by design, we render a lot of other stuff obsolete.

    "Kiss Me. ...   I like to be kissed while I'm being F'd."  Al Pacino, Dog Day Afternoon,

    Good question.  I didn't read the fine print.  Just assumed that they would sell a product that was more robust, and backward compatible.  All our family's old iPods worked just fine.  It's basically a device for listening to music.  I know Apple wants to 'enhance the user experience' (translation: make it easier for Apple to make gobs of money through iTunes and App store), but the frustrations I had with the iPod touch 4G and all the associated OS, software, & driver issues are beyond maddening.  It's just a stinkin' iPod after all.  After googling a lot on this issue, looking for how people resolved similar issues, I find the Web littered with complaints on iPod touch 4g.  Lot of problems getting iTunes to recognize it.  After getting everything up-to-date, iTunes fails to recognize iPod.  Re-install iTunes. Completely uninstall iTunes, then re-install it.  Next week, same issue.  Re-install iTunes.  Rinse and repeat.  That's been my experience too. 

  • Adobe CS4 Design Center Premium Installation issues on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (RTM)

    I am in the process of moving my systems to Windows 7; as part of that I have attempted to install the Adobe CS 4 Design Center Premium version that I purchased on August 16th.  Thus far my experience with this has been disappointing.
    My previous system (Windows Vista x64 Ultimate) was running Adobe CS 4 Production Premium version without problems.  Upgrading this to Windows 7 worked just fine (so, Win 7 upgrade over Production Premium worked.)  However, for unrelated reasons I decided to reinstall a fresh version of Windows 7. and the Adobe CS 4 Design Center Premium version in question.
    What I observe is a highly repeatable failure during installation, in which as soon as I get to the phase where it displays "Currently installing LangPack(English) for Device Central" and then dies.  Applications are half installed at that point (I can actually use most of the tools, which is why I keep setting this aside to look at it later.)  This was a clean system and Adobe CS 4 Design Center Premium was the first thing I tried to install on the box.
    Since that failure, I have tried to install it on a completely different system (my laptop) running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and experienced the same error.  The desktop system is a Dell, the laptop is an HP.
    The event log indicates a generic "event ID 1000" error.  The detailed information shows that something returns STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER (0xC000000D) as an exception, which is not handled and the program then dies.

    In attempting to find a work-around (since I would like to be able to actually use everything here) I have tried to run the installer in compatibility mode - both XPSP2 and Vista SP2 mode.  Both fail in the same fashion.
    At this point I've now installed a post-mortem debugger (WinDBG) and will attempt to capture more information about the specific failure.  I am hoping that someone has seen this issue previously and has found a successful work-around.  I see that others have installed the Master Suite version successfully and I suppose that is one potential solution to the problem that I may explore if i cannot get this package to work properly.

    Additional information that I have collected (the wonders of a post-mortem debugger):

    Thus, this appears to be related to WoW64 behavior in some fashion.  I am unfamiliar with NtWaitForWorkViaWorkerFactory, so I'm not sure why it would be returning STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER.
    So, I've collected a mini-dump for the process, but it's 300MB.  In the unlikely event someone is interested in analyzing it, let me know and I'll gladly provide it.
    I'm now wondering if I should re-wipe this drive, install Vista, Adobe CS 4 Design Center Premium and then upgrade to Windows 7.  But that is a lot of effort to work around an app compat issue.

  • BREAKING: New Design of InvisibleShield for iPhone 3G Released late July.

    For anyone that got the pre-order of the iPhone 3g Shield full body case, anytime before july 20th send it back because there is a newer design that came out and it fit the iPhone Perfectly, just letting everyone know so they are not disappointed with the company.

    so what is the major difference(s) between the upgraded shield and the old style
    The new full body design changed both the front and back pieces. The front now covers the upper and lower chrome bezel, making it a bit trickier to install. There is no longer the separate small lower bezel piece, but the home button piece is retained. The back no longer extends over the headphone jack and docking port, and has additional "flaps" to better cover the bezel corners. The corners are also now slotted, so they lay flat easier and don't crease. The back is significantly easier to install and covers the corners and chrome bezel better.
    The front coverage only version is the same as the original. Instead of buying a separate back piece, to later make it full body, you now get a "full body upgrade" kit which replaces both pieces.
