Re: BB 8830 vs Moto Q
Dec 23, 2007, 11:18 AM
in the BlackBerry 8830 forum

The 8830 is hands down the better device. I had the Moto Q9m, and the keyboard is nice but the battery is really weak and the email program is very basic. Also the task manager is a PITA. The BB's keyboard is just as nice, call quality is great so far, and email is incredible. I do miss SlingPlayer a little bit but I can deal. I still havent even completely explored the depths of tasks ...

in the Pantech PN-820 forum

Alright well I can help you on most of those things: 1. This is not the case on my handset. It could be a bad unit, or maybe you have too many things running. 2. You have to turn speakerphone on during the call. There is no way to leave it on all the time, unless you select the speakerphone profile(see below). An easy way to turn it on during a call is to hold the ...

Text Messaging

Hey all, How is text messaging on this phone? I would think it would be a little difficult as the keypad is in a sort of inconvenient place that would seem to be hard to reach. Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone who owns this phone know how to get to the task manager?

The reason they have the rounded shape is simple. When the 8000 was released everyone said how big it was and that it was gawky. Then they released the 8100, which is basically the SAME exact size. The only difference is rounded edges so the phone FEELS and seems smaller. Also the rounded edges are more comfortable in the hand, in my opinion.

Sahaskatta; you are wrong. There is no other way to say it. I picked mine up yesterday afternoon and have been using OBEX all night. Transferring pix, sounds and videos is incredibly easy. I also connected to my friends Cingular RAZR with no problems. For all the VZW people who have been annoyed at VZW for crippling bluetooth, complain no more as this has everything you could ask for including AD2P (stereo bluetooth).

in the Samsung SCH-A990 forum

The caps lock button is located above the left Shift and below Tab. Just in case you were wondering. And as long as you are on howard forums, do the right research. http://www.howardforums.com/show thread.php?t=1016756 Go there, an entire thread about this update. It fixes what I said it does, maybe other things that arent as noticeable. And the hardware model is not on the battery, it is under it.

Re: a990 Software Update
Oct 19, 2006, 7:43 AM
in the Samsung SCH-A990 forum

Yes the update is available now. What is your hardware version? Take off your battery and it should say 6.06, 6.07, 6.08. If you have .06 or .07 go to the store and ask for them to switch it for a .08, which is the newest manufactured date. I havent had any kind of problem like this. Maybe your charger is broken or something.

a990 Software Update
Oct 18, 2006, 10:06 PM
in the Samsung SCH-A990 forum

There is a software update out there for all of your a990's. It upgrades your software version from ZD18 to ZH07. This upgrade is very worth it, as it makes the already quick menus INSTANTANEOUS, organizes the Camera options interface better and activates Voice-to-Text during text messages. It takes about 15-20 minutes and all VZW stores are able to do this update.

Go to your local VZW store and ask for the ZH07 software upgrade. This will ALSO make your menus LIGHTNING fast.

I bought a KRZR last week, upgrading from my vx8100 which was the best phone verizon had made at the time it came out. I returned the KRZR because of a lack of features and goodies. Then I bought this phone, and I have been AMAZED. Now keep in mind that the vx8100 is the best phone I have ever owned, so I will be comparing it to that often. Pro's: Display - AMAZING, 256k colors, incredibly big, 240x320 pixels External Display ...

Yes it is possible and I LOVE this feature. Just set your ring tone, then go into Settings and Tools->Sounds Settings->Call Sounds->Call Vibrate-> ON. Voila.

I dont think so, I think that they probably use this to test out how additions to the site will look/work and to make small improvements. Thus they are also adding the phones to this in order to test the pages. That is my guess anyway, I am probably wrong.

If you are going from Vcast capable to Non vcast capable and vice versa you will NOT be able to do your ESN change online. If you are going Vcast to Vcast or non to non you will be fine doing the ESN changes online.

I agree with some of your points, but you say: "Do you really think that you are smarter than the CEO of Verizon Wireless." I think you are giving this guy way too much credit. I highly doubt he is the one making descicions such as the UI and which phones to bring onto the lineup. If you want to talk to someone about this you would have to bring it up to the correct department, and I GUARANTEE ...

Wow "Want_New_Phone" I never thought about it like that and now I see that there are some major advantages to a sim card, especially to us phone junkies who hang around here on PhoneScoop. That would be brilliant. I think most of us here also want to see verizon get their act together with their User Interface. The user interface is not all that bad, its the fact that they take out features that the phone is capable ...

Camera is mediocre at best. The outside screen is tiny and dim as to improve battery life. The outside media keys dont light up unless the music player is on. And yes, the KRZR is not all that impressive. Cool new look, no new features.

I have heard so many different release dates for this phone. -September 29th (obviously not true) -Your mother's birthday (up for interpretation) -October 14th (looks unlikley) -Mid October (...) -October 30th -November 13th -Sometime this decade So I ask you people, please stop this speculation. Unless you have some sort of hard evidence, such as it being posted in InfoManager PLEASE do not post it in here and get some of us excited and anxious.

Re: *** Message to Verizon Wireless CEO, Denny Strigl ***
Oct 10, 2006, 8:00 PM
in the Verizon forum

The only thing that keeps me and my family with verizon is that none of the other providers have good reception, call clarity or signal strength in or around our area. Sprint is weak, TMobile is absolute trash and Cingular is mediocre. If cingular or Tmobile had the service that verizon has I would be switching over to them in a second. I would love to have a feature filled phone with a great customized UI ...

Congrats, only 10 months more until you can upgrade to another boring, overhyped, stripped down VZW phone.

urnamehere - i agree with you 100%, because we here on phonescoop are SUCH a slim percentage of the VZW customers. The general customers DO NOT GIVE HALF A CRAP what the user interface looks like or can be used like, all they know is that its simple, easy to use and so they like it. The bluetooth thing goes for the same thing; most people with verizon wouldnt USE those features, and for those who would, ...

Oct 10, 2006, 9:14 AM

I think they disable it in text messages on purpose so that you dont try to use it while driving to send text messages. It says not to use it during driving on the message thing after you finish setting it up. I wish they left that on exactly for that reason, as I think that is where it would be most helpful and useful. I dont see why they bothered to include it if you cant use ...

Re: ^ 9900 or Q or A990
Oct 10, 2006, 8:41 AM
in the Verizon forum

Well the a990 and 9900 can be compared but the Q is thrown in there from left field really. THe Q is a smartphone and if you want to use all its features you are going to have to upgrade your plan for the data access. Also, the Q is a PDA with a cell phone, whereas the other two are CELL PHONES with many features. It is very difficult to compare a phone that isnt out yet, ...

krickt said: People keep giving them money. If you don't buy phones, they don't make money, if you don't upgrade services, they don't make money. So if you live with the phone you have, eventually they will offer you a deal. Or they will have to change their business practices. It's the only power we have as consumers, don't give them your money, and they either go under or change their policies. Simple as that. Right so everyone ...

Re: the SCH A990 vs. the Chocolate
Oct 9, 2006, 2:21 PM
in the Samsung SCH-A990 forum

I had a similar choice, except it was whether to get this or wait for the 9900/8600. The Chocolate is awful. I was excited for it to come out, thinking wow maybe verizon is finally getting its act together and is going to come out with some REALLY cool feature rich phones. I was wrong. The display is impossible to see in sunlight and gets scratched and fingerprinted far too easily. The touch buttons...ew. The ...

I owned the vx8100 before this phone and will say the interior sound quality is MUCH BETTER. The speaker phone is a little better, and music on the external speakers is about the same.
