I can't get the X51V to work properly with either Bluetooth OR WiFi, whereas doing the exact same config on the X50V works perfectly fine. In fact after a hard reset the WiFi card becomes available, tries to connect to my WPA network, never connects, then eventually disappears. Clicking on "settings" from the wifi config page just brings me right to the list of all network devices, yet the "site" tab lists the available networks!

Interesting - my X51V has stopped connecting to networks other than my home and I'm seeing the same symptoms as Telek. For example in Hong Kong airport the other day I was unable to access their free WiFi system. Apart from this it's worked more or less faultlessly for ages on A01.

It's up to the buyer to do some research BEFORE making a purchase. Typically, the only ones you hear from are the disgruntled users - and they are far and few between as has been mentioned previously on this forum. Yeah, **** has screwed over prople by releasing product before it's ready, but then you don't get the latest and greatest toys, do you. At least **** has been good about releasing OS updates, even if they are far and few between.

Well, i only recently got one with A08, checked recently and now use A12, but the item i needed works flawlessly: the TomTom GPS with TT5.21
When starting the software it switches BT on automatically, and off when it stops. However i do not use a headset, so that may be different.

However i believe this thread started about A01 roms... So i may be fixed by now.
