Blackberry Redirector question
Okay, I know this probably isn't the right forum for this question, but here goes. I work for a small company. Because of the costs involved to do anything else, I would have to use Blackberry Desktop Redirector to forward my emails to a Blackberry. I currently use a Palm 755 with PC Monitor Wireless Sync. That part works great, but the Palm sucks as a telephone. My question is this: with BB Redirector, ...
Re: How do I dial "vanity" numbers on 700p
Just go to the on-screen keypad. It displays the letters below each number, just like on a regular cellphone or landline keypad.
Re: Anyone try the Motorola H9 mini BT?? HS850??
Thanks for the input. Anyone else?
Anyone try the Motorola H9 mini BT?? HS850??
I just got the H9 mini BT headset, or "earbud", yesterday. I'm getting mixed reviews from the people I'm calling. I will post my opinion after further review, but want to know if anyone else here has tried this BT? Any feedback?
Also, has anyone tried the HS850?
I'm testing these with a Treo 700p.
Thank you.
Review - Motorola HS850 Bluetooth
Just a word of caution if you decide to go with the HS850 headset. I picked one up last weekend for $40 at Costco. It paired with my 700p easily enough, and didn't sound too bad on my end. After some pretty heavy usage over the past 5 days I have had mixed feedback about the sound quality. Some people have said they can hear me very well, no problems. Others have complained so ...
Re: software update - ??
Any word on this?

What are bag phones?
That really cracks me up! Are you being funny, or maybe you are too young to know what a bagphone was?
Re: Cancel Key
I'm a newbie here, but it doesn't look like there's much activity here anymore. No answer to my last two posts. Tell me specifically what you are doing / where you are (screen-wise) when you want to "go back", and I'll see if it's something I have encountered. One example, let's say you went to the Phone, then into contacts, and maybe you didn't select a contact but just wanted to go back and dial a ...
Re: Best speakerphone??
I haven't tried the last two you mention, but I can tell you the LG 8300 is far better than the 8100. I would recommend you give it a try.
Re: can mp3's on memory card be used for ringers?
try Funformobile.com. I have used this to email ringers to my "standard" cell phones. There is a mp3 "trimmer" on their website.
Re: Sirius Radio on Treo 700P (Verizon)?
I would like to know as well. I tried to get XM, like I can on my desktop PC, but this would not work. I forget the exact message, but it was something about a type of server not supported by this device. Any work-arounds?
Looking for Versamail help - sorry, long post.
I just got a 700p. At my office we use Outlook 2003 and have our own on-site email server. It's a MS Exchange server. I have tried to set up email with assistance from VZW CS and Palm CS. The VZW people have been great, but have told me that the Palm CS personnel are more well versed in the nuances of Versamail. My problem with this is that the Palm CS dept rarely has ...
BT - Anyone try a Scala 500 or Mobile Traveler?
Has anyone here used either a Cardo Scala 500 or a Logitech Mobile Traveler with the 700p? If so, I would appreciate your opinion/feedback on either of these.
Thanks.
Re: Anybody here use Howard Forums?
I don't go there as often as here, but have found it to be a great source for info of a more technical nature. I find Phonescoop to be "easier on the eyes", in terms of layout, etc. I do like much about HoFo though.
7250 vs. Moto Q? Any input?
Yes, this is a duplicate post. I also put it in the Q forum. Not much activity here, so I hope that will be forgiven.
Can anyone here offer advice on whether you would choose the Q over a BB 7250? My wife's employer is going to set her up with a phone/pda so she can get email, etc. She had this in the past, at a different position within her company. Because of that ...
Q vs. Blackberry 7250?
Can anyone here offer advice on whether you would choose the Q over a BB 7250? My wife's employer is going to set her up with a phone/pda so she can get email, etc. She had this in the past, at a different position within her company. Because of that we own a 7250 outright, although not activated at this time. The company is talking of getting her a phone for her new position. ...
Re: Upgrade
That's a completely different animal; you should post in the Q forum. The upgrade to the 8100 is the 8300, which, IMO, is a great phone. I have heard enough bad things about the Q to keep me away, but I wouldn't seriously consider any Windows platform phone anyway. They just aren't for me.
Re: Headphone jack?
Hold your phone with the back to you, antenna on the upper left side. On the top, toward the right side, there is a small rubber oval with a little graphic of a headset on it. Remove that plug. Voila! Headset jack. I have really short fingernails, so have to grab it with tweezers or something.
Re: VCast upgrade? txt msg notification
Yes I do.
Re: VCast upgrade? txt msg notification
I guess. Or maybe even if you use VCast on a "pay per use" basis??? I'm not even sure if you can do that.
Re: VCast upgrade? txt msg notification
I have the LG vx8300. I don't believe this is phone-specific from the content of the txt msg. It appears to be a general VCast upgrade. After looking at the msg some more, and going into the upgrade area, I decided to go ahead and do the upgrade. It took approx. 3 min's. to download - in my office the signal is only 1-2 bars. When finished it said it was completed, and asked ...
VCast upgrade? txt msg notification
I just received a txt msg stating that VZW is offering a free VCast video software upgrade. It says to get the upgrade, go to GIN, Get new Pix & Flix, Get new app, Entertainment, Vcast, Free Upgrade.
Anyone know what this does? Anyone know if we lose anything we have now?
Thanks.
Re: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used the 8100 for nearly a year, getting one when it was first available, and then switching to the 8300 when it first became available. I have had the 8300 since about last April. My BT headset works better with the 8300 - I tried several with each phone, and settled on the Logitech Mobile Traveller. There may be better units avail. now. The camera is just slightly better on the 8300 - mostly ...
Re: BLUETOOTH!!!!!
I tried several headsets and settled on the Logitech Mobile Traveller. I have been using it for months. I do notice a bit of improvement on my end after recently getting the v03 upgrade to my phone. One thing I notice is that I am able to turn up the volume, with less static on my end, after the upgrade. The call quality has been consistently good for the receiver of my calls - yes, ...
Re: How do I choose different words while Text messaging!? PLEASE HELP!!
You don't have to be in "Abc" mode in order to input new words in the dictionary. From "Word" mode, hit the key with the first letter of the word you want; if the first choice isn't the letter you want, hit zero until the letter you want is displayed; hit the right arrow on the control wheel, hit the key with the next letter you want, again using zero to scroll through until your choice is displayed, ...
Re: Bluetooth Problems may be over (8300) - New headset on the block
I can't say if this is the case with this particular headset, but quite often the national chain stores get their own model numbers on different items. A good example is Best Buy; they offer to match or beat any advertised price on big-screen tv's, or something like that. Well, you find a Sharp 50" model xr2900 at K-Mart for $200 less than Best Buy. Best Buy says "oh no, that's not the same thing; ours ...

Re: Blackberry on family plan
Any interest in that 7250?
Re: 8300 backlighting?
No, it's very bright.
Re: Blackberry on family plan
I also have a family plan. I own a BB outright, and recently added it as a 3rd line on my plan. I ended up cancelling that line within the 15 day window, as I decided that for the expense, I don't really need the BB.
I just called 800# customer service to activate the line. It was $9.95 for the 3rd line, $45 for unlimited data BB plan, and, I think, about $5 for a couple ...
Re: Best VZ Navigator phone
I've used it on my 8300 and been very pleased. I actually got two 30-day free trials, because of switching out phones. It works very well, the sound and visual are surprisingly good.
Re: Question about text message
Push the left soft key, "Message".
Push same key again, "Settings".
Push 1, "All Msg".
Push 5, "Entry Mode".
Make selection.
Re: Support on the 8100 ?
I'm not sure why you would say there's no 8100 support, when there is a forum, etc. Go here: https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p =665
Re: Can you put ringtones on the SD card?
Great. Thank you!
Blackberry 'Push' email???
I see on the Palm website that Blackberry push email connect is available if you are using a Treo 650 on the Cingular network. Anyone have any idea if this will be available for the 700 on VZW?
Re: Help - With 8300 Caller ID
No, I do not believe there is any way to move the location in which the caller ID is displayed.
Data Plan / Text Question for VZW reps
I just activated another line on my account, to use with a Blackberry 7250. I am getting charged 9.99/mo. for the additional phone line, 44.99/mo. for the unlimited data plan. The tele-sales rep told me I would get charged per each text message unless I had a txt plan, even with the unlimited data plan? Is this correct? It doesn't make sense to me that an unlimited data plan would still incur costs for text ...
Re: Traded the "Q" for the "P"
Thanks for the input.
Re: Traded the "Q" for the "P"
Would you mind sharing your opinion of the Q, outside of the battery life? I'm trying to decide if I want a pda/phone, and have been thinking Blackberry vs. 700p, but would like to hear the problems with the Q.
Thanks.
Re: I might of got water damage please someone help
Mike734 - I don't know you, but I don't really appreciate being told "You're nuts." Maybe I think you are a jackass - are you okay with me saying that on here?
Before you spout off about a post someone has made on here, why don't you bother doing some homework so that you can post an intelligent rebuttal instead of something like, "just leave the phone in a sunny place..... That should do it." Maybe you think ...
