Hi guys,
Well, I didn't think santa would bring me a Vario III, so I bought one myself on Xmas eve. I have never owned a smartphone before, but have had PDAs (a palm tungsten and a Psion Series 5).
I basically bought it for the mobile office features (including internet access email) and of course the keyboard.
My experience of the Vario III so far has been mixed, mainly because I don't seem to be able to get certain features to work. I love the fast internet access, the calendar and weather, plus the camera. I have also downloaded Opera mini, which is in my opinion beter thanIE because it gives you proper web pages.
The problems I am having so far are:
1. email. I have so far failed to synch with wither my personal email (with blueyonder) or with my office email. Moreover, in the beginning there was a 'set up a new email account' feature which seems to have disappeared. Do you think a hard reset might be worth a try?
2. video. I have so far failed to launch a single video from any website (including the ones on the t-mobile favourites. I don't know how to fix this.
Also, I have been reading this site avidly, but lacking much technical knowledge, a lot of it I don't quite get. So the additional questions I have are:
1. are there any 'must have' CAB files I ought to be downloading (at least to try them out)?
2. Where can I find the 'cube' which is frequently referred to on here?
Any advice on any of the above would be much appreciated.

1. Must have cab is definately -WKTASK(http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html) its free so its cool
- Resco explorer(Not Free)
- Htc album, with the new Camera (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355587)
2. As for the cube, if ind it pointless but here it is (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354715)
EDIT: dont forget to tweak your Vario with Kaiser Tweak!!! or, if more advanced tweak it manually with a registry editor available in total commander. Registry tweaks are available in the wiki
Thanks ekw for your prompt and most helpful reply

With reference to emails---Do you have the t-mobile rom..standard purchase from t-mobile?If you do, then as standard out of the box there's an email wizard built in the rom from T-mobile. They believe the email wizard is easier to set up.
With reference to launching videos, and especially from t-zones, this will be restricted possibly due to what's known as "content Lock". Call t-mobile cust services on 150 and ask them to remove the content lock, this will enable you to browse you tube, launch videos an msn and so on.
Hope this helps?
If you need any help, send me a mail, got a few days off.

Thanks mobilemadness, much appreciated. I followed the instructions in the box and have subsequently tried all kinds of permutations, but still have not managed to get email working . I don't know if anyone else is having the same issues.
Well, I don't know if some of your questions have been answered yet?
1. email.
Go to Message -> Menu -> Option -> Add New
(What's your carrier, and how are you connecting to the internet)
2. video.
Download the Youtube plugin for TCMP (or use Dutty rom), or you can download Opera Mobile 8.65 and download Macromedia Flash. You play youtube from the actual website. But I still prefer TCMP.
1. are there any 'must have' CAB files I ought to be downloading (at least to try them out)?
Look at the stickies, those you will have to do a search. Search for a user name dutty, he has a good collection of cabs.
2. Where can I find the 'cube' which is frequently referred to on here?
Do a search for cubes; TouchFlo, is the one that came with the HTC Touch.
<UPDATED>
Well since we're all finally unlocked now we can write stupid apps to deploy to our phones lol.

But hey, we get to deploy now at least lol.

Guya, I`ve got a really annoying issue on my UK HD7 - Google shopping just doesnt work. I have a feeling it was ok pre Nodo. Can anyone offer any help?
Steps to replicate (on HTC HD7 - Nodo update).
in WP7 IE, navigate to www.google.co.uk - ensuring that you view the desktop page (not the mobile page)
type "Omnia 7" in the search bar and press return - search results come back.
now click the "shopping" link at the top of the page - note that you get *NO* (shopping) search results
Now follow exactly the same steps on a Desktop PC IE8 session - you will get shopping results as expected.
Question:: Why is there a difference in the search results?
Name: Bus Finder
Lots of people in India travel by bus and use the popular site REDBUS to do their searching and booking. It was a surprise to me that I couldn't find an app for the same in iOS or Android. I decided to do it on WP7 and claim UNIQUE for the platform
This application is meant for users from INDIA only. It lets you search bus between cities and view its details. What it does not is let you book through app. I have left that to internet explorer do it. I will direct you to a page where you choose seats and enter details and book the ticket.
The UI is meant to be as metro as possible, I would welcome your views and feedback on this application.
You would need a developer unlock phone to sideload the application, it does NOT need any interop unlock or full unlock to launch it.

1.The Search Result page is very hard to read.
2. The background image is distraction.
thanks for your feedback. do you mean the background image in results page or search page? I tried to introduce an image fit for the theme..
Regarding search result, is it the font size or the colored tile?
Both. Also check on light theme, you will know what I want to say.
For tiles and text, the combination is not right. Fonts are too small, plus the tiles are not making any sense there.
Hy for all,how i can instal game for my nokia 520?
Open the "Store" app.
Tap on the "Games" entry.
Find games you want to install (there's a search button at the bottom).
Tap the game you want to install.
If it's a free game, tap Install. If it's a paid game, tap Try (for a trial) or Buy (to purchase).
...
Please read the forum fules before requesting anything you will need to be reported for.
thanks, but i want to now how to instal .xap files
Yeahhh I'm going to refer you to the last line of me previous response. You can use email / send via BlueTooth file transfer / place on microSD and put it in the phone to transfer legit XAP files to your phone and they should install fine. For development apps and homebrew, there are dev tools available from Microsoft, but that requires a developer unlocked phone. This is all very well documented. Please search* (either this forum or the web in general) next time.
* Did I mention to READ THE FORUM RULES? Because "Search before posting" is also definitely in there, and this question has been asked and answered quite a few times before.
