Techs & Trends

i am looking for manufacturers that have the ability to develop that kind of product.

Google's mobile plans to be unveiled soon

OK... so whenever I try sending my buddy a picture message, I can't do it. I get an error on my T-mobile SDA saying "Recipient address not resolved". He recently started a new line with Verizon (2 months back) and since then, never been able to send him pics UNLESS I'm sending to him AND someone else. Weird, huh? And he's the only person that I cannot send pics too. I never have the problem with any other person using Verizon or any other carrier. I have used his number with and without the 1 in front of the area code, with different handsets, and no luck.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

Hello everyone~

Here's my situation - I have a proprietary tech product that I am planning on introducing to the cellular phone market and I need some help. This is not a gimmick - I think this would be a great product, but I need some technical help.

I have the basics figured out, but I want to talk with someone who has professional, top-level knowledge of cell phone architecture/software/hacking and general hardware, ideally across multiple carriers. I'm not looking for someone to share any industry secrets, just someone who knows the industry and wouldn't mind lending some serious knowledge.

This is a real opportunity and would include the signing of a confidentiality agreement and potential reimbursement for your time and experi...

Anybody have any have input on good smartphones and bad ones? I am with Nextel right now and like it because it is easy to direct connect somebody but would like the blackberry but the $45 data plan is way too high. Any thoughts from anybody out there? Thanks

This is a guide I made for teens who want a new cellphone, and want one to suit their personality. I don't want to offend anyone, even though I have no idea what could be offensive in here.

The goths and emos-
Usually something dark colored with a camera. The dragon tattoo RAZR from t-mobile is usually the case. If you have a fat wallet, hold out for the sidekick LX. Everyone loves a sidekick.

The preps and jocks-
Anything pink for the girls, and probably blue or gray for the guys. It must be shiny. A blackberry pearl or a RAZR will do. I have seen the blue KRZR from AT&T, and many will follow with that one. If possible, stay away from the RAZR since it is so mainstream.

The nerds-
Most would expect a smartphone, Most nerds like...

Can anybody tell me if you need to get the data plan if you have the treo or the blackberry? I have heard 2 different things if you need to have this to have the phone work. I have people email me and say that everything works on the phone even without the data plan. Thanks for the help.

I am having some trouble. im trying to install Network Browser on my Blackjack so that I can map my home computers drive so i can access my home computers files from my phone. I downloaded the program and it says that it is not a valid windows ce program when i try to install on phone. But it says its for windows mobile 5??? has anyone attempted this or can tell me what im doing wrong?

I can't send picture messages only text messages. I bought a motorola razr v3 on ebay and it said unlocked but i can't send picture or mms messages. i tried calling my cell phone carrier but they can't do anything and i tried to change my mms settings but was unsuccessful. Can somebody please help me?

So I finally got my hands on the new Palm Gryphon/Centro/Gandalf/690, man all these names are annoying. The flyer next to the display said "Coming Soon Palm Gryphon," while the "My Treo" application in the phone has been changed to "My Centro," while the battery had the name "Gandalf" printed on it, and last but not least, the SKU in Sprint's system gives it the official model number 690.
I think its safe to say though that Sprint is going to go with the name Gryphon based on the signage and an internal email.

My first opinion... "I LIKE!" (Borat voice)

Here are the specs I discovered... and just so I'm not burned for it later, in case anything changes, there was a large tag that said "Early Test Unit" on it.

Same Palm OS 5 with ab...

okay i have the black really flat sprint phone its the flattest one they have. ive NEVER had a problem with a cell phone before but if i get 2 texts at the same time or pretty much 2 anything at the same time my phone will completely freeze and the only thing i can do to fix it is to take out the battery and put it back on. ALSO my volume down key is really sticky like i have to press it REALLY hard to get it to work it still works but its a pain in the ass. SO- help? ive never had a problem like this at all before also my phone freezes just randomly out of nowhere too sometimes. its so frustrating this is the first time ive gotten one of the "top of the line" phones and not just a basic one but this is the one i have so many more proble...

Today I was in Verizon and had my VX8300 software updated, at their suggestion. Now I cannot access the network select to turn off evdo any longer. When I go to menu then push the 0's nothing happens. No 7 x's appear like before. If I'd known that I would never have let them update the software. Any suggestion?

What does unlock phone mean? I have a verizon moto razr phone, and my wife has a ATT moto raxr phone. We have one USB charger and it will charge the ATT phone, but the verizon say unauthorized charger. Is there any way to get around the verizon lock and charge with any charger?

okay this is kind of a fun question. in your opinin, which phone(past or present) has the strongest signal/reception for each of the major carriers? juding only by that indicator

T-MO/voicestream

ATT (old and new)

Verizon

Sprint

Neither!

I am an OFDM fanboy now! 😎

Hi. I just won a Motorola Rokr S9 through a Moto sweepstakes and I was wondering if anyone knew any phones that can use stereo bluetooth. I am sure the Razr2 can but it is currently out of my price range. I am an Alltel user and was wondering if there was any other option for me at the moment. 🙂 Thanks for any help you can provide.

I posted this on a different thread and then realized this was really the place for it!

I am about to make a new car purchase and it has bluetooth in it. Are there certain phones that work better with the bluetooth in cars? I knew someone with an Acura and he said that his phone would work great with headset bluetooth but not with his car bluetooth. Any ideas? I'm deciding between the Motorola V9M or one of the two new LG's due out on Wednesday (probably the LG vx 10000).

How well does PC Sync work? Can someone post a little video on youtube or something?

Show me creating a contact and appointment in Outlook and maybe saving a phone number and creating an apointment on the phone and then syncing?

Thanks.
