with the rev a flash, and all the editing(haxxoring for you cool kids), aside from the lack of a multi-touch interface, this is everything every phone wants to be when it grows up.

aGPS with Rev A firmware update: good source

in the HTC Mogul / XV6800 / PPC6800 / P4000 forum

Within EVDOforums, the site admin that has quite an e-repuation going, states affirmatively that within the future firmware update "in a few months," the GPS function will be enabled. Interestingly enough, the Titan and Verizon model may sport the GPS function right out of the box. I wouldn't hold my breath on full independent GPS function, but definitely telenav.

If you don't wish to reconfigure your 6800, read no further.

Greetings. Just ran through lots and lots of pages in the ppcgeeks forums. Those of you who don't have a problem editing your registry, installing non-certified (but definitely working) applications need to go over there and register. Get to the Titan forum, and they have really pounded on this phone with many many useful apps and wikis. I don't work for em, just figured someone like me could have used what I am typing at this very moment. Working ...

Re: Using OBEX with this sucker?
Feb 27, 2006, 12:53 PM
in the Samsung MM-A920 forum

I went to a "BrandFest" concerning Sprint. I may not have the answer, but I might be able to shed some light. I don't have the phone yet, but I was watching the LG presentation. That is where I learned a distinction within OBEX. They are making phones that HAVE OBEX, but do NOT send media. It will only send contacts. It's called the "Push" profile, or something very similar. So maybe that is ALL you can do with CDMA ...

He did. He broke the release dates into bi-annual essentially. The first half of the year's phones will come out between march and april (all the manufacturers really). I don't remember the product ID's but there was one that was a 3 megapixel camera, and another that was going to support a2dp (stereo bluetooth). What was really cool though was an LG phone (550 maybe?) that has a built in FM transmitter, A2DP, Object Push profile (bluetooth contact sharing) with ...

Hi, Just wanted to let yall know that I was at a "Brand Fest" for Sprint, and the rep from Samsung didn't even mention the a940. At the end of his 20 minute presentation, I asked him about it, and he stated that the phone is discontinued. Asking why, of course, he stated that they simply didn't sell enough of the phone, which tanked the profitability. He followed up by stating that the a900 and the a920 ...

8O I say what in the... ? I drop $500 on my a970, $300 on my 815, and they let this pompus 1XRTT, non-BT, VGA camera wannabe of a phone use the GPS first? Vodaphone wants out, Japan is 3 years ahead, and even my techno-ILLiterate girlfriend knows VZW slowly bleeds the U.S. by the slow deployment of technology. Absolutely twisted. 2c ATD

No OBEX hacks (doesn't ship with it even on the phone). USB drivers don't do anything. Let alone the software. No good web sites covering the topic. Keep glued to the Bitpim website, that's our only hope of doing any kind of editing that Verizon doesn't endorse. Better yet, get the phone and donate it to Bitpim for me lol

I think the guy was saying that it doesnt need to fully by inserted into the phone. like 2/3rds of it could hang out. Still kinda rediculous, but I can see the point.

If you are thinking about buying this phone for the camcorder (that was my thought) don't do it. I don't need another "HAd da fone for an hour andi ready HATe it!" (chump you know who you are) floating around the forums. And unless you can get Verizon customer care to flag you for an upgrade, you will be paying MSRP of 469.99. I paid $500 2 months ago, but I still love my phone. It needs an e815 sitting ...

8O Does anyone out there think that there is enough interest to get an A970 over to the devteam at Bitpim? I could get a new one for them for $350 (Best Buy friends rock) This would do a few things. For starters, if they can get the directory tree read, we would be able to use our own ringtones. Secondly, we could use it to sync our phones with outlook and whatnot. Thirdly it would be the first step to sifting ...

It's really starting to chap my arse. :x If I get a missed call, text message, or event in the middle of the night, the external screen doesn't shut off after a certain amount of time, and will ALWAYS kill my battery overnight.

The only notation for recurring calender events resides on the original date of the event. You will see the original date of the event when it goes off, it won't be the day it's going off. That's the only way I know how to go back and get rid of it. Kinda silly.

read the reviews. it's easier than sifting through the boards. Your answer is under "text". actually has an exclamation point in the front because I was so psyched about this feature of the phone.

No cord comes with it. That's the idea of the microSD card. Only phone I've seen do both is the Motorola ROKR, obviously to relay the iTunes idea.

It's just the UI. And the cell phone manufacturers have their own that is made for the phone usually. But think about how ugly that UI is. I can't believe that Verizon would let some designers give us 1/2 a dozen hideous identical examples of uglyness. AXE THE BASTAGES.

Bluetake sells a stereo bluetooth headset that comes with a 2.5mm adapter for the stereo profile. 'Bout $250. Send them an email and ask em if they have done any tests on this phone. They are very honest, I asked about the v710 and they were straight shooters.

Music keys scroll through the text. 3) Those two components don't make much sense to me being used together. I'd imagine if Bitpim would work with this phone (maybe it does?) you can take the music you download from the dedicated portion of the memory of the phone, if you knew where to look. ...

4/5 Stars Features/Function (+) RF gain gets a B+. Touching the labelled part of the phone DOES inhibit signal strength. !Speakerphone as good as Moto (/clap). 3D games way cool. MicroSD hot-swappable. (-) !Verizon EVDO menu designers need to be fired, right now. OS delay impedes fast button pressing.

/agreed. The phone needs a real launch date, and the ability to actually give a "review" per phonescoop before people can actually get a good feel of it. IMO the phone will not have strong reviews, even with software enhancements and possible mods.

http://www.dxing.com/frequenc.htm 1900 mhz = 6.18 inches (thereabouts) simply put, if you have the length of the antenna as close to that measurement as possible, you achieve the best gain (outside of amplifying the signal, which cell phones don't do alone all that well). If you had a bagphone operating at 800mhz analog (or digital) your ideal antenna length would be 14.6 inches (like they had installed in Fords)

Hey Paul, Try a Physics 101 course. Fundamental theory of reception is frequency vs. length of antenna.
