HTC Hermes hard reset

Recently we have been getting a lot of emails from people asking how to hard-reset their Orange SPV M3100 or TyTN etc. so here’s how:

Hold down the two soft-keys (the ones below the screen) and while you have them held down you poke the reset button with your stylus. You’ll then see a message on the screen saying ‘press R to reset, X to exit’. Pressing the R key on the keyboard will hard-reset the device. It’ll now take a few minutes to reboot and load all of the operator customisation etc.

This procedure will hard reset the HTC TyTN, Vodofone v1605 and all other HTC Hermes variants.

Nikon announce COOLPIX S500

Nikon has announced the COOLPIX S500, a camera that packs fantastic features and the latest technology into a compact exterior.

Coolpix S500

This solid yet lightweight camera is encased in a stylish stainless-steel body. Sleek design and classic contours make this model as striking to look at as the quality pictures it produces, and is testament to Nikon’s commitment to quality.

The technology and the features inside the COOLPIX S500 are worthy of their impressive casing. The combination of a full 7.1 megapixels of resolution and the powerful 3 x Zoom-Nikkor lens with a healthy range of 35-105mm enables the COOLPIX S500 to deliver excellent picture detail whether the subject is a close-in portrait or a broad panorama, even after the photograph has been enlarged.

The Vibration Reduction function is able to compensate for camera shake to produce clearer, steadier pictures, and also prevents blurring in lower-light conditions. Light-sensitivity of up to ISO 2000 further guarantees picture clarity in unsteady or poorly-lit conditions.

Nikon is constantly seeking ways to make the experience of taking a photograph as simple and as exciting as possible. All functions are optimised to respond immediately, ensuring that the user never misses a fleeting opportunity for a great shot. The COOLPIX S500 powers up in an impressive 0.8 seconds and has a practically imperceptible shutter release time lag of less than 0.005 seconds.

The results achieved with the COOLPIX S500 can be fully appreciated using Nikon’s exclusive PictureProject software, which makes it simple and straightforward to edit, organise, transfer and share images. Compatibility with a range of feature-extending plug-ins also makes it easy to add new capabilities on demand.
