Hi Joey

So u just want autospell?? Is that it???I think u just want to use the dictionary right?? You can easily do that by going in to phone menu.....and enabling it...simple.

Flashing is used to upgrade or downgrade a phone firmware version....for example....u can upgrade a 8210 version 5.29 to 5.30 by flashing it. One of the tools or software u use to do this is Rolis 4.77. I use it as I find it very simple to use and its VERY user friendly. You could also use others...like Dejan 1.00b or DarkLemming Shell...etc etc.

Unlocking is another thing. This is when a phone is locked to a particular phone provider.....like One2One in England....where I live. To unlock a phone so that it can work on any SIM, we have to unlock it. /n/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

This is your first lesson.....hehehe....think about it......and get back to me.......and I think u missed my post................try going back 7-8 days before 21JAN...u will find it.....

I hope this helps
