The MDA is fun, glad to hear you're enjoying it. You'll really like it after you get it app unlocked. (
See your other question for an updated link on how to get that done.) I was 'playing' with my MDA the other day and was reminded of how much I like it. If only the Bluetooth wouldn't turn itself off - I'd actually use it instead of just 'play' with it!
I forgot to mention that other 220 owners have mentioned getting an external battery charger when the internal no longer works reliably. I'm not quite sure how a desktop charger (that you normally use) and a wall outlet charger (that I mention) differ? I just meant an AC charger as compared to a USB charger - which is probably what you mean too. I just wanted to be clear if there was a mis-understanding.
So, what worked for me was using an AC wall charger and then charging the phone with it in the upside down & open position so that the phone's weight rested on the charger plug part that plugs into the bottom of the phone. The little bit of weight on it to kept good contact with those two little prongs and ensured it was actually charging while plugged in. On mine, I could wiggle the plug part up and down and watch the indicator at the top of the screen change from the plug icon to the battery - showing that it was not always in charge mode even though it was plugged in.
Good luck with both phones!
I seem to get rid of the app lock issue from my MDA. It seems after the first failed attempt, if I tried the second install or the third, it let me do it. I am 'shopping' round now!
My desktop charger has to connect to PC via USB. But the beter thing is the phone sit in it (actually on top of the connector) almost vertically so the weight plays a bit role. I am going to try to 'exhaust' the whole battery then recharge it with AC adaptor during weekend.
Thanks again!
