Motorola E815 / E816 Hollywood

ok so i came over to VZW from T-mobile (dont laugh). So they transferred my phonebook for me too. Anyway, I wanted to change what some of the 1-9 speed dial people were, and then noticed that it "deleted" my entries. After all was said and done, i went to send a TXT message to someone, and low and behold all the entries were there, but they dont show up in my contacts anymore? anyone know about this or did I confuse the hell out of you?

Just an FYI. My local Best Buy has the 815 for $89 after instant rebates.

Will dropping your phone shake up anything inside the phone to make it not work right?

Random question, I know...just wondering if anyone had any personal experiences with dropping their phone and then have it work worse?

Does anyone know if Verizon plans on enabling the OBEX file transfer?

Even though the voltage output is not the same, can I use the same house charger for the E815 as did for the V60I? Thanks.

I thought you could preview ring tones before you buy? At least that is what I did with the lg4400. With this one, it wants you to pay 1st then preview? Please help me out. I was dissapointed to see that I could not take them with me to this new phone. This is something that verizon reps did not tell me until after I purchased.

Is there anyway to make the background of the external screen blank. Personally I find the beach theme to difficult to read around. If not can I make my own background? If i can what are the dimensions for the internal and external background and what is the best way to get it onto the phone. Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, why can't the phone scoop "forums" and "reviews" post in chronological order?! You read these posts and you find a January post right above a post from July 29th. How difficult is it to get their servers to lay the pages out in order of most recent post to the oldest?

I am a college student and travel from home to school. I will be getting a new plan with Verizon and using the area code where my school is. When I am home, what kind of charges will be added, or will I just use up the same amount of minutes? I'm going for the 450 plan if that helps. (39.99 per month)

This may sound behind the times, but I just found out that if you go to Radioshak you can get a universal car charger for the same price as the ones at verizon and just buy different tips for different phones. Previously I would go to Target and pay the $10.00 or god forbid, buy it at Verizon for #30.00 everytime I got a new phone. Alos, for all the other phones in the house. Now I can have this one, and spend the $30.00, then every new phone would be $10.00 for the charger tips. I tried it out this afternoon and it works great. For those lg people that know they change them every year, this would be a bonus. Those who are like myself that move from phone to phone with no brand loyalty, this is a plus.
Also on an earlier post from me, I bou...

Is it possible to listen FM rafio on the e815? If so, does it cost extra and how do you do it?

I have the e815 from VZX with mobile web enabled. I have tried using the bluetooth connection to/from my ipaq HX4700 to access internet via the phone but I cannot get them to all communicate. They recognize each other but I can't get them to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Ok, so I just got the E815. I plan on canceling the EVDO service when my month is up. But what exactly does DUN do for me?

which phone is better to get the motorola e815 or the lgvx8000?

Is there a way not to display the phone numbers in the contact list and view only the names so that you can view more numbers at once while scrolling???

4 days now after a horribe time with the lg8100 and this moto has been pretty good. I have had a few instances where caller was choppy, nothing like what I had with the lg. I just bought the hs820 (returned the hs850) and will try that this weekend. I thought the 850 had way too much wind noise and am hoping this will be better although the look of the 850 is better. kind of like I like the look of the 8100 better but the 815 is functioning better, the ugly duckling prevails again! On another note, while I was at fed-x returning the last lg8100 she said she had seen many come thru there this week, all verizon phones....huh, makes you wonder. Food for thought. Any info on this hs820 would be greatly appreciated.

You need the card, Use a Wave editor to chop up the song, put it on the card. Put the card in the phone, go to media, go to your created song, hit menu, choose "send in message" then go to your outbox, go to the message, choose save sound, there you go.
The reason why people can't save the sound when it is sent to them, is that when you receive a sound, it is a QCP file, your phone won't play them, it needs to be a MP3, Thats why you save from the outbox, not from the inbox, Try to keep the song under 30 secs.

For my E815 I have used MPT to add create new entries to upload to my phone. I noticed though that there are two tabs for entering information..."business" and "home". "Home" only seems to offer two phone number categories...neither of them titled(I can't check for sure, don't have MPT here at work), while "business" has a whole bunch of phone number categories. I have been entering everyone as a "business" contact since many of my entries have multiple numbers. When I choose some of the phone number categories (pretty much any besides the first 3 options)they don't show up. Yes I can get more than 1 phone number to show up per name, but only if I select any of the first 3 or 4 phone number categories names. All the others listed don't...
