TP2 – Can I place my Outlook Contacts on the card vs. the phone? To help RAM?
HI, I have my HTC TP2 syncing with my PC using ActiveSync. My PC has VISTA Ultimate and Outlook 2007. 1. I have about 2400 contacts in Outlook, is there a way to store them on the card vs. on the device? 2. I have very few if any programs running and have very little RAM. Most of the time 47 to 79MB at most. Would moving my contatcs help or does this not effect RAM? Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro CE OS 5.2.21874 Vista Ultimate Outlook 2007 Rom ver 3.04.605.3 Hardware 0004 PRL 51893 ERI 5 Thank you, Tony

How do you update the OEM Bing installation on the Touch Pro 2?
How do you update Bing on the TP2 under Verizon WinMo 6.5? Bing Mobile 4.6 is preinstalled on the phone . The version available from m.bing.com is 5.something, but when you install it, the start menu link still runs the OEM 4.6 version. No way to uninstall the OEM version, either. Thanks in advance, -E

TP2 – Keyboard Stops Working
This issue has happened to me a few times in the last couple of weeks. Occasionally, the physical keyboard on my TP2 just stops working. When I reply to an e-mail or SMS, I slide out the keyboard and the screen flips over to landscape, but I can not type.(On screen keyboard works fine) It comes back fine after a power cycle. Has anyone else experienced this? My TP2 has: WM 6.5 VZ ROM SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.3 S2U2 Thanks, Carl

Samsung Rogue and Audio Books / and the browser
I understand this is not exactly a smartphone. I moved from T-mobile to Verizon because of friends that have it and they seem to have better phones. I am simply flabbergasted by the level of security Verizon has to lock down their phones from letting users do what they want with them. After hours and hours of research I finally found how to do most of what I wanted to. There is one thing that I either do not know how to do, or for some reason they do not have as a feature. The V-Cast music player will read M4a and M4b audio book files, but will not save playback location in either Mp3, M4a, or M4b files. This means that the audio book that I put onto my phone will not save its location and I have to write down where in the book I am every time I exit the player. Even my 4 year old Nokia 6133 flip phone will remember where you are in an Mp3 file. The other concern I have is about the browser. Youtube says it will no longer be supporting this browser, and considering the phone just came out not long ago and I just bought it a few weeks ago, something has to be in the works for getting a new browser onto the phone. Also, the mobile flash is out of date and a lot of the videos will not play because of it. In regards to the media bookmarking. If it will not do it I assume they will probably release an app to get you to pay extra for the feature, as it seems Verizon likes to take your money any chance they get.

Thanks To Verizon
Thanks to verizon for this great date package plan. Im using a old old old LG flip phone, just when my plan was over and its time to get new phones. verizon came up with this lame 9.99/29.99 per phone a month, Very Great. All i want was a droib, for calling, texting, listening to music, go on the web whenever i feel like it. but now i can't even do such thing, no way im going to pay 30 buck a month just for one phone. no way im going to pay 30 dollar just to use to web 1-5 time a month. r u kidding us verizon? get it through ur head there a thing call internet at home. 4 phone will be like 40 buck a month more. thats how much i pay for my fios internet. and ur talking about a phone here. a phone with 3-4 inch of screen? its like forcing US to use the mobile web. right now im paying 150 a month for 4 lines. with the new shiit, ill be paying 150+30+depends on what phone my family pick. that's over 200 a month. all im saying is, come up with a better family date plan or im off to Sprint. 30 dollar a month for a family plan wouldnt hurt or 15 dollar for singo plan.

Time Zone Changes Every Time Weather Updates
I've had an HTC Touch Pro2 for about a week and I'm slowly getting accustomed to WIndows Mobile (flashed it to 6.5). There's only one significant annoyance with the device. Despite being in the Eastern Time Zone (Atlanta, GA area), my phone is constantly switching to the Mountain Time Zone. Through various troubleshooting efforts, I've narrowed it down to the Weather function. It seems every time I get a weather update, the phone changes to Mountain Time, even though the weather is set for (and is displaying) my local city. I don't even have a city in Mountain Time listed. The phone just prefers to set itself there. In order to get Eastern Time to stick, I've had to disable the weather updates. Has anyone else had this problem? I suppose I have two options. I can either shut down the Weather function or move to Denver.

Tethering / Alternatives to the Droid
I kind of wanted a Motorola Droid but tethering is not yet supported for that. So I guess I need to look at alternatives such as the Blackberry or HTC Touch Pro. Any suggestions? I want the new phone to tether and replace the air card I now use for telecommuting. My 2-year renewal comes up on 5/17/2010 so I was considering upgrading my Palm Centro ( in 700 minute family voice only plan now) to a Moto Droid. But it would have to replace the USB 727 air card I now pay $60/month for -- that is used heavily for telecommuting and averages 4GB per month. I was willing to get 2 data plans on the Droid as long as it didn't exceed the $60/month I now pay on the air card. I emailed VZW and here is the response: "our Droid devices do not support the Mobile Broadband Connect feature at this time. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. However, our other Blackberry/Smartphone devices do support this feature. The Mobile Broadband Connect feature provides Internet access utilizing your handset as a modem by tethering it to your laptop via a USB cable and VZAccess Manager Software, which is available for download at the following website: VZAccess Manager Mobile Broadband Connect offers 5GB of data usage for Internet browsing, e-mail and intranet access, downloading, uploading or streaming of audio/video and VoIP. If you exceed the 5GB allowance, you will be billed 5 cents per each additional megabyte (MB) used. Airtime does not apply when using Mobile Broadband Connect.
