Having trouble using shortcuts
So to program a shortcut to certain option/feature, you highlight it, and hold the menu button and it assigns it to a key. I've got this part. But when I'm on the main screen, and I hold the menu button, and hit the desired key, my phone says "Shortcut Not Allowed for This Item"...and it says this for any shortcut I try...Is there something I'm missing here?

Battery Life (AGAIN)
So, I charged my phone all day yesterday. I look it off the charger at 2pm when it said "Charge complete".
23 hours later, it was completely dead. I didn't even talk on it at all!! Now, that's not necessarily how long it lasted. Probably around 10pm last night the phone started doing the beep 'o death.
I have gotten a new battery. Now I have a "new" charger (it's been used..mine was scratch free!). Next step is to replace the phone completely. Anyone else having this problem? 9.4 days of standby is a JOKE. I'm getting less than 24 hours!! So, before I go changing my phone, I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing exceptionally short battery life.

Voice dialing costs extra?
Cingular's web site seems to indicate that I'd have to pay extra to use the voice dialing on the v551. I found this surprising, since it's built into my current v60 and seems to operate independently of the network. Do newer phones require the network for voice dialing, or is Cingular just being greedy and crippling the phone?

RingerIDs and Text messages
I have a problem....I set a ringerID for my friend to play a song whenever they call. But now instead of a regular "Ding" sound when they send me a text message, it plays the whole freaking song I gave them for a ringtone. I find that obnoxious, can anyone help?

Categories
Does anyone know if you can customie the phonebook categories. For example, in addition to "General," "VIP," etc., I would like to add, "Family," "Friends,". Perhaps the Nokia functions spoiled me.

Unable to find another phone.
I am seriously starting to think that I dont know what Im doing anymore. I have been trying for days to find my friend's phone in order to swap media, I have'nt been able to find him, I thought it could be cuz he has a V551 as well, so I tried finding my brother's phone. He has a Nokia 6230, and I still couldnt find him neither could he find me. Can anyone tell me how you do it. So far, I have only been able to find my headset and my Mac, but for some weird reason I cant find other phones. What am I doing wrong!¿!?
Icons for Ohone Book?
I just got my (2) V551's this afternoon. One for me and one for my wife. I went to cingular to buy myself the Razr, but just couldn't justify the price. Came very close.
My question is: I just had all my numbers transferred from my Motorola i95cl to the V551's. In the i95cl I had icons identifying "cell phone", "work" or "home" phone numbers next to each name. On the v551 I get two listings of the same person with the same icon. How do you distinguish which phone number is a cell or work number in the phone book?
Thanks, Rich

v551 Motorola Cingular WHERE'S CALL LOG???
I just got my new v551 today 1/2/05, replacing a v400 I had but which got stolen on Christmas Eve. ☹️ Cingular is my provider. The MENU doesn't show CALL LOG to see received/sent calls -- there's no icon for it. It's crowded out by icons I don't use like AOL IM and "My Account" or "Shop." I can't seem to find the CALL LOG icon or access anywhere on the phone. The manual doesn't help, because it lists it as there, but says "some providers vary" in what's on the menu.
Is it really possible that they screwed up and left out the CALL LOG? To me this is an essential feature, so I'm very bummed. Can I modify which Icons I choose to put on my menu, e.g., dump AOL IM and replace it with call log? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Loading Games and Ringtones w/Data Cable on V551
How do I load games and ringtones that I have on my V551? I have done a search and found that I probably need Mobile Phonetools. Can I download phonetools somewhere? I don't need a data cable, as my i95cl cable works using USB. I just need the software. I hate the ringtone that came with my phone and want my own back. I also have a Tiger Woods golf game I need to load.
Thanx, Rich
battery life/phone source
I have been told that cingular does not offer battery save function in the v551, i was wondering what peoples thoughts were on this, also i have been reading the user reviews and thought it would be nice if people would mention either how they got their phone, or what their carrier is, or better yet both. If indeed cingular does not offer battery save in this phone, when will they change and activate this feature as apparently there are a large number of people who are upset with battery life..... maybe someone knows of an upgraded version of this phone that will be coming soon to cingular? thanx for reading

How to takes notes during a call
What is the easiest way to take "notes" during a call. For instance someone wants to give me a number to call. I want to put them on speaker and enter the number they dictate into the phone to use later. OR maybe an address of a restaurant I am going to. I know I can create a contact during a call but is there a general "notepad" I could enter this type of information into?
