software dowloads for xv6800 WM6

HEY all you tech savy guys,
i have been searching threads on here for downloads and have yet to find one that will give me a website that will work with wm6 and the xv6800. Perhaps its me, but i was hoping you guys could help me out. I want to get yahoo messanger on there with some games and stuff, kinda make the pda a lil user friendly. Also, i was looking for the thread that i think wfine put out about cancelling the DATA plan once u get the phone. My question is though using wifi what can i do with it and not get charged downloads for?

Anyway thank you for your help i appreciate it.
have a wonderful day ๐Ÿ˜

Sunny

Am I nuts?

I currently have Verizon, my hubby AT&T. I am able to receive pictures from him on my phone but he is unable to receive pictures from me. What gives? ๐Ÿ˜•

Also any time I send a text longer than, I think 160 characters, it cuts off my text at that point and wont send any of the rest. When he sends me a long text it comes in multiple pages but I still get the WHOLE thing. Is this just a Verizon thing or am I totally crazy? ๐Ÿคจ

Best Bluetooth Headset for the Samsung U-740?

I've posted this all over the places, but the U740 forum is pretty dead..as is the Samsung forum. I should have posted here to begin with!

I've got a Samsung U-740 and I'm looking for a good bluetooth headset to pair with it?

I've heard there are problems with certain headsets and this phone and I don't want to make the mistake of buying the wrong one.

What have you guys/gals had the most success with?

I actually just bought the Plantronics 655 on sale at the VZW Store earlier, but haven't had a chance to mess with it much.

But if theres a better one out there I might swap it out... or sell it on eBay.


Thanks

Can't Use Custom Ringers After Razr V3M Software Upgrade

I apologize for the lengthy posting but I thought it would be best to share my problem and all of the failed solutions. ๐Ÿ™‚

I just had my Verizon Wireless V3M Razr upgraded to the latest software (24.1_01.19.05) and I can no longer use custom ringers of any type. I actually have lots of beefs with this software upgrade (it's a pretty significant UI change) but the ringer customization is the biggest for sure.

The method that used to work was I'd email the ringer to my phone via the vzwpix.com address. I could then save the file to the phone and then set it as a ringer. This worked for MIDI and MP3 (but I renamed them to .QCP before emailing them to my phone) and it worked just fine. This method no longer works. I receive the media...

Ringtones...

I know it has been asked a million times but verizon dosn't let you email custom ringtones to yourself anymore. Does anyone have any ideas how to put them on now? I have tried a phone thats 2 years old, 1 yr old, and brand new phones like the voyager.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

VZW, acquisitions, and you.

Two part question:

Do you think that VZW is in the market to purchase another carrier?


If so, what would that be?

Open access will enable phase out of Corporate Stores

Actually this is the beginning of the end for the Corporate stores. Why else would Verizon be giving indirects NE2, better signage, small business, bill paying abilities, FRU etc. Verizon Corp sees what we here in indirect land have known for sometime: the retail end of this business is the least profitable part. The average number of employees in a corproate store is 24. Employees are any businesses biggest expense. Add on top of that another layer of bureaucracy (i.e. Human resources, trainers, lawyers) and all the headaches that come with dealing with the public all so you can give away 3/4 of what's on your shelves for free. Ask yourself does that business model make any financial sense at all? Now with open access VZW is saying they jus...

Is there a way to access myspace mobile through VZW mobile web? I used to be able to do it by typing in the URL htt://mobile.myspace.com but that no longer works. Any advice is appreciated!

voyager bluetooth

So, I hooked my voyager to my laptop through bluetooth and guess what.....
My outlook calender and contacts synced back and forth no problem. I was fairly suprised,

After I was done syncing my calender i loaded a ton of ringtones into my "my sounds folder" later i just texted them to myslef for free ringtones.

By the way, vcast tv is SICK, I thought it would be totally useless but I am keeping it, Watched basketball game on it last night, the quality is great.

any application, any device

Verizon Wireless' declaration this morning that "any application, any
device" will run on its network next year is clearly an
overstatement-Verizon's CDMA network allows only CDMA-based devices, in use
by 60% of subscribers in the United States market, but only 20% of the
global market.

Therefore, analysts said, there are not a massive number of CDMA-based
handsets available globally that are not available in the U.S. and, thus,
little pent-up demand. On the GSM side of the wireless industry, in
contrast, a comparatively large array of GSM devices are not generally
available in the U.S. and there may be pent-up demand for them.

Global CDMA devices may not even run on Verizon's network, one analyst said.
It's also not clear, a...

RED 8350 Is Out

In case anyone is wonderin', the RED 8350 is OUT, at least here in NorCal (played with one in my local VZW store, it was on display).

Personally, I didn't care for the shade of red used, it was pretty dark/burgundy. Too conservative. ๐Ÿ˜›

It also has the Version 2 firmware on it... don't know what's different about that over Verision 1, though. There was nothing obviously different in the menus, but I didn't look very hard.

Is It Just Me?

I went to the Verizon store today to see the 6800 while forgetting it is online only right now. They had a dummy model and that is one ugly phone. I know service and quality are more important, but blue just isn't a good color for this phone.

Blackberry Pearl Questions

Hello All,

I am seriously considering the pearl. It would be my first smartphone and I have a few questions:

1) I know backup assistant wouldnt work but is there a way to get the contacts off my phone and into the pearl?

2) If you have multiple email accounts, do they all show up in one inbox, under "messages", or would you have multiple inboxes?

3) Can the pearl open PDF attachments in addition to MS word and excel?

4) Using BIS, would your POP mail sync with outlook, or would it be similar to using "mobile email" on a "dumbphone", meaning that for example, if I send an email from my blackberry, would it show up in my sent mail in outlook?

Thanks for you help!

Mark
