best non-smartphone for contacts
Do you guys know what the best non-smartphone is for syncing Outlook contacts? I don't want to spend $30/month on a data plan, but I would like either a multimedia or regular phone that can sync with my outlook contacts.
Thanks.
Is Storm 2 thinner/slimmer than Storm 1?
On Phone Scoop is says that they are identical in dimensions (14mm thin), but at the store the storm 2 felt thinner. Maybe it was just me.
why isn't there a dedicated page for Storm2 yet?
Just curious.
Re: Crackberry Storm2 review
How can you be so sure that software version 5.0 will eliminate lags for the Storm2 but not for the Storm 1?
will firmware updates ever fix the storm
It seems that the firmware updates improve things somewhat, but it is still a slow and unresponsive phone compared to other touch screens like the iPhone.
For all you tech people out there, do you think any firmware updates can really make it a fast responding phone? Or is the the phone itself badly structured/made to the point that it can never be greatly improved by SW or firmware updates.
Re: best non-PDA phone for outlook contacts
Awesome. I didn't know that. Which one of three is best for syncing with Outlook and best all around?
best non-PDA phone for outlook contacts
I would love to get a PDA phone to store contacts and appointments but don't want to pay $30 month for a data plan (will not use email or web). The CS rep told me that I have to get a data plan if I get a PDA phone.
Therefore I was wondering if you guys can recommend the best non-PDA phone for me to transfer my Outlook contacts (with addresses) and appointments (ie closest thing to a ...
when will we get an official update
It seems that every week there's an update version of the firmware leaked. However, there's hasn't been an official update from Verizon since last December.
Does anyone know if Verizon is planning on releasing an official update anytime in the near future? It seems kind of silly not too with all these leaked versions.
viewing yahoo normally
To view the normal Yahoo webpage I had to change the browser on my Storm to IE or Firefox. However, now I can't click any of the links like Yahoo Movies or Yahoo Finance. When I use the Blackberry browser I get the lame mobile Yahoo webpage, but the few links that are on there actually work.
Has anyone successfully gotten the regular Yahoo website to work? My friends that have the cool iPhone can ...

not with GPS
Re: software upgrades vs updated phones
Well my friend a special youtube application on his iPhone along with iStocks and Google maps. I looked at the Storm software applications on crackberry and they did not have any free applications like Google Maps or iStocks.
software upgrades vs updated phones
I got the Storm when it first came out and was initially disappointed. However the recent software update helped somewhat and I'm hoping future software updates will help even more.
My only concern would be if Blackberry\Verizon start shipping out a new version of the phone in the very near future instead of solely relying on software updates. Does anyone know what the chances of that are? Because in this case I would just rather return ...
bluetooth issues
I have a Jabra VBT185Z and the storm does not seem to recognize it. It did a search and it could not find it. The Jarba is turned and on search mode, but no matter what I do I can't get it to recognize the devise. I even let the Jabra search for the Storm. Do you think I have a bad phone or another issue.
Thanks.
typing help
So I got the Storm today and I don't know if got a bad phone but the interface and responsiveness is horrible. There are a lot of delays and it's difficult to navigate through various websites. It's definitely not as nice and responsive as my friend's iPhone.
Anyway my biggest issue is typing emails. After I have typed a sentence or two, I sometimes need to go back and change a word. However ...
holster
Is anyone aware of any websites that sell a holster made specifically for this phone? Verizon does not carry one yet and I really need one.
Thanks.
best PDA/smartphone for music
Hi,
Based on your experiences what is the best PBA/smartphone to listen to MP3s (music) as far as interface and easy of use? Is it the Motorola Q9m? My current flip phone such because when I have 40 songs on it, I have to press the next button 35 times to get to song #35. Additionally now I need a PDA for internet access.
Thanks.
Re: Anyway tried listening to satilite radio on their non-pda phone?
Congratulations, but what does "Power Vision" have to do with Verizon (and this forum)?
Anyway tried listening to satilite radio on their non-pda phone?
With Sirius radio you can log on to their website and listen to their service online. Has anyone tried using their Verizon cell phone and mobile web 2.0 to access Sirius? I don't want to pay $5 a month to see if it works. It would be awesome if it does.
Re: Beware of Plastic Holder
That sucks. I really wanted to get the holster from Verizon. First I heard the phone faces backwards and now this. Does anyone know of any other companies making holsters (not cases) for this phone?
Re: WORD function - need help.
Thanks. I guess that works, but it doesn't always display the word you're looking for. That sucks, I was hoping there would be an option. The motorola word finishing function was really nice. Oh well.
WORD function - need help.
I'm new to LG. Is there a way for the Word function to suggest words as I'm typing the text. With motorola, if I typed a few letters of a work it would suggest the rest of the word. This made texting a lot faster. Maybe I'm overlooking something simple, but is there a way to make this phone do that?
any major disadvantages over KRZR?
I really want to purchase this phone because of its price, design (thin), and its ability to function as a music player. From the reviews I've seen this phone seems have a better music player than the KRZR, and has a lower price. Does anyone know if there are any disadvantages to this phone over the KRZR? Thanks for your help.
Q as music player and wireless modem - please help!
I am seriously considering buying the Q for two reasons. I want a phone with expandable memory so I can use it as a music player. From what I understand I can create playlists and listen to music using the WMP on the Q. How good is this function?
Second, I want to check and easily type emails, and most importantly uses the Q as a wireless modem for my laptop. ...
Re: holster for extended life battery
what plastic belt clip?
holster for extended life battery
Does anyone know of any holsters that are designed to fit with the extended life battery installed?
how good is this phone as an music player?
I've read some of the posts that say you can transfer your songs to this phone via WMP, which is fine. However I was wondering how practical is it as a music player. Can you create/listen to playlists? Can you skip songs if the flip is closed? Can you take it to the gym and use it as a music player?
Obviously it's not an iPod, but I wondering if it is practical ...
instant messaging and mobile web
Do I have to subscribe to mobile web (extra $5/month) in order to send/receive instant messages (msn)? I'm already paying $5/month for my text messaging plan. Thanks for your help.
Re: Bluetooth Headset Connect/Disconnect Issue
I just experienced this issue for the first time and I'm using the h3 headset and software version .03! This really sucks :(
Re: is it a decent mp3 player?
Did I say I was expecting an IPOD? In fact the title of my tread reads "decent", not "great". There's no need for name calling (ie prick).
is it a decent mp3 player?
I notice the buttons on front. It seams that you can skip forward and backwards between songs. Can you search through songs? Can you create play lists? Can you sync it with Windows Media Player? Basically, how well does it work as an mp3 player.
Thanks for your help!
Re: phone file directory -please help
Nevermind. I reset the phone and the folders appeared. I don't know how they disappeared, causing my video function to not work. I never deleted the files. Luckily now everything is working fine. Scary.
phone file directory -please help
I've been downloading pictures from my phone using the usb driver and bitmap. I go under the directory brew/shared/jpeg. However now two of the folders under shared have disappeared and I can take flix. The only folders I have under shared are jpeg and wallpaper. Could someone please list the names of the others so I can add them. Thanks
Re: MP3 problems
I had a similar problem, but found out that it was due to my crappy SD card reader/writer. Once I disconnected it from my computer it corrupted some of the files. I found this out when I connected the sd card to the computer after only 5 of my files showed up on my phone. I bought another card reader and it solved the problem.
Re: Trouble transfering mp3's WON"T WORK!!!!!!
This worked for me the first time I did it. Some of the file names came out funky but that didn't bother me. I went back to replace some of the mp3s with others, and now no matter what I do, they don't show up. After flowing the orignial procedure, only 3 mp3 show up and mp3 folder has a bunch of unrecognizable files with Asian characters. I've tried everything, even restoring the phone, but ...
syncing outlook contacts?
I bought the data cable #28 and installed the curitel usb driver. I was wondering if there are any software I can download so I could upload my Outlook contacts onto the phone, and how to do it. Has anyone been able to do this? Thanks for your help.
v186
Does anyone know when the v186 is coming out for Cingular? I really want a non-camera EDGE phone.
cheapest price and mp3 player
I had two question. The price of this phone is really high. Do you know if other retailers(Amazon, Circuit City) will start carrying this phone and offering there usual rebates? Also with the Pocket PC software and the expansion slot, can you use this phone as an mp3 player? Thanks for your help.
confused about mp3 player
Sorry I'm not that tech savvy, and am confused. Someone mentioned that this phone doesn't have mp3 player software on it. And then another person mentioned that it comes with stereo headphones and has a mini-sd slot so you can put mp3s on the card. Therefore can you or can't you play mp3 on this phone and listen to it with the headphones provided. I'm not asking about the quality of the sound or ease ...
Re: Please help w/ ?..PLEASE!!!
Your phone will work, but your reception might not be the best. Several months ago, I would have told you not to worry. In california Cingular only operated on 1900 spectrum. However after the merger, it now operates the 850 spectrum(former ATT) too. And this addition has actually helped in Orange County, where I'm from. So now you'll be missing out on a bunch of reception. Sorry
