oh yeah and i forgot to mention that since this mp3 player is now going to be enabled through an upgrade you know longer have to rename your files to .mid

if you want the upgrade you have 2 go to the store 2 get it loaded onto your phone and im not sure if every verizon store has it yet.. this one shown in the video came from a florida verizon worker and said that they are giving out the upgrade as of right now.. so hopefully it'll be released everywhere

I can confirm the no update in CT. I just called a store (Newington, CT) the tech guy said "uh, maybe a week or a month". Basically he knew NOTHING about it, as usual. Verizon does not educate their stores.

I'm going to call another store near me (Meriden). It's where I picked up my phone. The store is run completely by women. It's the most organized, well run Verizon store I've ever been to.

What I want to know is whether or not that is a VZW update or a good hack? I called my local store here in Rochester NY and they say no way not yet. If that was done at a VZW store then let me have the phone number or the city or the zip. So we can verify ourselves.

I live in Massachusetts and bought my phone from the Verizon store in Saugus. I just bought my phone today, my phone does not have the MP-3 player. I forgot to ask the salesperson about it and when I mentioned it to the person who rang up my purchase he didn't know anything about it. I couldn't find my salesperson at that time and had already been there for longer than anticipated so I will call her tomorrow about the upgrade, if I find out anything I will post again tomorrow (Friday)

Well why are they telling everyone else that calls that they dont have a clue. So you are royalty, an ambassador, head of state? Why are they only telling you and not the other 30 peeople that are calling? And by the way small buss rider, I didnt call you a liar the guy at the store did. Get your insults straight. Friday comes and the software is out then you are the man.

hey it wasnt my idea to call them. i posted something i heard directly from a verizon store. whizzinator is the one who wanted the number so he could call and bug them. ps i have a cousin who has down syndrome so watch the name calling using 'retarded' is just mean hope it makes you feel better about yourself

If I was calling your cousin a retard..then by all means take offense. But seeing as I wasn't, you should spend your time policing people actually harrasing your cousin. And forget any apology from me, I don't apologize to people who get people going by posting lies. If this update does apper within the week, I will apologize at that point.

Aug 19, 2005, 5:58 AM
Probably because they made a mistake telling you. Now that the whole world is calling them they now realize that it was a mistake, so they're trying to play it off as if they don't know that way they don't get too much attention.

well from me readin on all these forums i read somewhere that even if verizon people know that theres an update comin up or a new phone comin up they're not allowed to discuss it.. even if its coming out the next day or upcoming weeks

(I think I posted on wrong thread earlier, so this is a repeat)

I called the Santa Monica store and the tech said there's no update. 2530 Wilshire, 90401, 310-828-1279. Tech said he has the same phone and says you can only play mp3 with SD card. Of course he also wasn't aware of any issues with volume. Who knows. I might try customer service today and see what they say.

MEDIA PLAYER

There's a "secret" media player on the 8100 that you can access by pressing "menu", then 0 seven times.
Go to "Get it Now Settings" near the bottom
Again, select "Get it Now" at the bottom of this screen too.
you will see a list of applications on the phone, select "Media Player"
You can play files in your mf directory, so if you put an mp3 in there, you can play it with the Media Player. This is the only way to be able to fast forward through mp3 files on the phone.
Unfortunately, we have not figured out how to be able to read mp3s off the memory card from the special Media Player.

hope it helps

MEDIA PLAYER
Has anyone tried moving an mp3 file from the "My Flix" folder on the sd card to phone memory, and then trying this?
