win 2k and xp are same platform, one is desktop, other is server edition 
what he meant was something like:
win 3.11 (not good)
win95
win98 (not good)
win98 SE
win millennium (not good)
winXP (or win NT (win 2000) )
win Vista (not good)
win 7 (win 7 server ed.)
win 8 (not good)
win 9 (will probably ditch metro and be desktop oriented) |

Amen to that.
Ditching the metro crap won't cut because you're back to 7 then - well, almost. So, they'll screw it up with something else. |

I missed this phone. It's not listed on amazon wireless or any of the carriers that I'd use here in the states. Looks like it might work on tmobiles network as it's gsm. The rise works on virgin and metro which would run me 35 or less a month for unlimited texting/data. I'm seeing it for about 250 unlocked. I'll save it for future reference thanks! |
I have the Huawei Ascend G300. It's a smooth impressive phone and very, fast. Review
In fact the wife bought me it after buying the Huawei Blaze for £60 sim-free. (which i had for about 3 months)
She got it for me for £72 and got it unlocked online for £4.99
She liked mine so much she bought herself one! It's tied to Orange network in the UK -Pay As You Go. £100 instore/online. Again got it home went online that night and paid the £4.99 to unlock it, 24hrs later code through by email and running it on a £10 per month 3mobile sim only monthly rolling contract, which gives 100mins/3000 texts and 1Gb Data. Stuck in a 32Gb SD card fpr installing apps too and have bags of space.
There's a new ruling coming out that Jan next year any locked phone will only be unlocked by the manufacturers discretion. |
nice! Glad to hear about another happy g300 user You can unlock it yourself, no need to pay anyone:
http://www.modaco.com/topic/358599-how-to-free-sim-unlock-your-g300/
you can check those forums for custom roms and guides, there plenty of users and plenty of custom roms.
anyway, let's get back to the topic 
PS. About that ruling: sounds bad for users and sites that sell codes. BUT jailbraking iphone is also illegal yet people do it anyway Most phones can be hacked anyway. If you can fiddle with boot loader there is a very big chance that you can unlock the device into sim free mod. |
Cheers for the link.
As i said they are both unlocked anyway -£4.99 as opposed to £25 in a Vodaphone shop!
You do know that ICS is on the way for the G300? Official version -yes know about the ROM on modaco 
Big enough delay mind, too busy plugging the Ascend P1 and ICS methinks. |

official ICS is on the huawei site since september
go here: http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3940&tb=0%29;
download HUAWEI Ascend G300 firmware(U8815,Android 4.0，V100R001C00B934,General Version)
put it on the sdcard in dload folder (make one if you dont have it), turn off the phone and hold power button and both volume keys at the same time to enter the flash mode for rom update. Phone should update itself to ICS and baseband 2030. I highly recommend you to check out the modaco forums g300 section on how to root your phone + instal clock works mode recovery. It's nothing major but it will allow you to put custom roms and have control over your system (also some applications need rooted phone to work, some apps have more options if you have rooted phone etc.) |
