Saw the Q today!
Our B2B vzw rep brought in a Q that a tech is testing, and it is awesome! this thing makes my 9 month old samsung 730i look old school, and very bulky! his release date "guess" was end of 3rd first of 4th...

I have the Samsung i730 How do you install flash and java? An idea on an ETA for Windows 5.0?
Re: Samsung SCH-i730 shared memory and design flaws
ChuckOp, great post...great phone! -This phone is "next level" and some people don't want to take the time to figure out all of the features!
Re: WARNING: "You might not be smart enough to use this device!"
You CAN put the phone in vibrate mode with out the stylus, genius, by (once again) changing an option... push the volume control button on the left side of the phone, a pop-up window with both the device volume (controls internal speakers, key pad volume, etc) as well as the phone ring volume will pop up. With the stylus select the "vibrate" option. Once you have selected this option, you will be able to move the phone ...

I'm an idiot? I'm not the one who can't figure out how to use my phone...

Re: Backlight During Call
Hit SEND twice when you make the call... the backlight will then stay on as long as you have set it in your preference.
Re: Bluetooth and BMW
I would say it really depends on how bad you want/need it to pair with your X5. The sammy is the dominate phone, but there is a better chance of getting treo to work with your X5 than it ever working with the samsung.
Using BT handsfree in my beemer was pretty important to me, but I loooove the phone, so I (like I said ) I forward my sammy when im in the car to a ...

Wow! -I must have struck a cord with the "don't know how to use it/don't own it" crowd...

So let's see - you have to own a phone to have credibility? When so many people complain about the same issues? Ever hear the expression "if 10 people say you're drunk, then you're probably drunk"?
Love your tool, I'm happy for you, that doesn't make you a bad person.
What's so hard to understand about that?

(unpaid) PIMP for Samsung!
Once again, it's the Indian, not the arrow...
righteousbro, take the time to learn the features and you will learn that, you can preset your office's VM password(s) into the speed-dial. Pick a pre-set, program you office VM phone # then type/write "P" (for pause, insert two-three)then type write #. -Your VM and Password will miraculously be dialed! Voice dialing and speakerphone work great, but like any phone I agree without handsfree (BT or the Samsung ...
Re: Does anyone else think that this is a TERRIBLE Phone?
The phone rocks, the only problem is the people who dont take the time to learn how to use all of the features. Testing can't fix ignorance.
Again, it's the Indian, not the arrow...
Re: Bluetooth and BMW
There is Sprint patch for the Treo 650 (www.palmone.com). -You can hack it to work with your VZW Treo. As far as the Samsung goes...check with BMW north america and see if your X5 uses the DUN BT profile (I'm almost positive it does). If it is DUN, you're screwed! -I actually purchased the motorola i710 (which sync with DUN just fine) just to stay in my '06 330 and I have my calls forward after 4-6 ...
Re: Does anyone else think that this is a TERRIBLE Phone?
I'm with RYCO, it's the Indian, not the arrow! -This phone kick butt! I have pauses inserted on all my VM boxes (mobile, work, etc). Insert 2-3 P's after whatever number (I think RYCO covered this). The speed dial, as well as the voice dial (by name, or number) works like a champ! -How easy is it to dial by voice when you are in the car, and then once the call is connected have ...

Come on dude, you WERE trying to be the big man leading everyone to beleive you had something to do with it, with all of your "WE" lingo. Its no big deal, more funny than anything else.
And this site (more than anywhere else) is the VZW "watercooler" site. ...
Re: GUESS WHAT!!! We figured out the evdo modem issue
rzande1, you are a total crack up. You taking any credit whatsoever for figuring out this hack (with all of your "we figured out" BS) is like Al Gore taking credit for inventing the freakin internet!
"hytekjosh" is a man among boys.
Posting HIS hack on this site was about as dumb as calling up VZW directly and asking them to fix the hack. While feeding your inferiority complex you jacked us all. This forum is comprised ...
Bluetooth Profiles!?
Anyone know what BT profiles this phone will support? I am looking for the DUN profile (like the V710) so it will work handsfree with BMW. Any info would be appreciated!
Re: V710 Price Expected To Rise!
i just got a v710, for my wife, for free with a two-year. everything is negotiable...
5.0?
anyone know the advantages of the new 5.0 OS? Will the 730 support it? -The download is available on microsofts website...
Also, anyone know any good software sites (comparible to all the palm-based sites) looking for games and stuff to do when I should be working!
Re: Remote Control
your garage probably has a "rolling code" which can not be learned by a universal type remote
Re: does i730 maintain constant connection?
hey there maverick96, I have my 730 set up to connect with my email server ever 3 minutes. You can select about any time interval you'd like. The phone is not constantly connected though. -You could have a continuous connection through wifi, but you can not make or receive calls while using wifi.
Re: Bluetooth and BMW
hey rsinkhorn, this is what I found out about syncing/pairing with the BT DUN profile (used in BMW, Acura, Mini, and a few others)... We are pretty much screwed! The damn thing will pair, but it does one of two things when you try to use it. Either it will work (full-functioning, minus the phone book and other options) for around 10-30 seconds, then it will transfer back to the handheld unit, or it will work fine ...
Re: beams ?
rzande1 is right no software beaming -it just isnt compatible. You can beam contacts, notes, events, and anything not OS specific, like MP3s, MPEGs, Word/Excel docs, etc. The note pad on this thing is awesome, you can write directly on it, and click "reconize" and it will convert your writing to typed text!
Perfect phone...almost
I got this sucka last Wednesday (June 22) and this phone kicks a lot of butt.
It is definitely a PDA-first devise, meaning only that the PDA functions are nearly flawless, while the phone functions take some getting use to.
True there are a few phone features that aren't perfect, like not being able to assign a specific ring to a specific number, but this is a phone for on the go execs, not high schoolers who ...
Re: WOW it has OBEX
Ivpro, two questions for you... first, are there any plan for support (patch) of the BT DUN profile?
Are there any hacks or anything out there that will make this phone pair with my BMW (DUN BT) handsfree system!? -I can get it to pair, but each call (incoming or outgoing) will only work handsfree for 5-15 seconds then the call transfers back to the handset!?
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
Re: Bluetooth and BMW
rsinkhorn said:
RINGO, Thanks for the insight. I am disappointed and hope you are wrong. Is it likely that Verizon or Acura will provide a 'patch' or upgrade....Anyplace else I should look for answers? Thanks!!
rsinkhorn, unfortunately (for both of us) I'm never wrong (unless my wife is in the room). Acura and BMW both use the DUN bluetooth profile and it is not fully compatiable. It should work, you just will not be able to tranfer you phonebook ...
Re: Bluetooth and BMW
It should work with Lexus just fine. -Only problem is, you're stuck driving a Lexus!
How Much!?
So there are quite a few people who actually have the phone in their hot little hands (lucky bastards)!? How much did everyone pay, and where did you get the phone (VZW store, in-direct dealer, etc)? I've heard everything from $449 to $499, to $700?
Re: Bluetooth and BMW
rsinkhorn, From what I understand, Acura and BMW use the same BT profile, DUN (Dial up), so it should be the same thing (same problems, same limited usage).
Re: Bluetooth and BMW
From what I understand form both VZW and BMWUSA is that is should work, but it will not tranfer the phonebook. All this means is you have to dial from the phone...not a huge deal. Also, VZW says there will "probably" be a DUN patch released so the phone book will eventually transfer.
EVDO Markets
Anyone know what markets currently have EVDO, and what is the planned launch of other markets?
Bluetooth
any idea if the bluetooth will sync with DUN profiles?
Re: had i730 training
it cracks me up to see how heated everyone gets in this little forum...
Re: release date price etc
Jawsnj, I'm with you on this one. My B2B rep said all the Verizon Reps are cursing this site and it's "unreliable, at best" information!
He said possibly Friday, but more than likely Monday of next week for B2B customers (two weeks later for retail).
I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt we'll see any real pics tomorrow from anyone on this forum.
This phone is like that one really hot chick who never really puts out...
Re: On VZW Website...

Bluetooth and BMW
Here is what BWM North America said about this phone syncing.
Hopefully, Verizon will come our with a software update or something so the phonebooks will work properly!!
"Thank you for contacting BMW of North America, LLC regarding your 200
BMW 330i. That is a great model and we hope it will serve you well.
Unfortunately, Palm One Treo 650 and the Samsung i730 are not and
probably never will be compatible with the BMW Bluetooth system in ...
Re: Verizon Pricing
so cancel your contract, pay the buck fifty ($150 cancellation fee), sign a new two-year and you'll come out ahead if the full retail is really $800+
Re: Vaja Case
this thread cracks me up. it's NOT like choosing to drive a BMW, it's like choosing trojan over durex.
