I agree... unlike Apple's products... the motorola v3 especially is style over function and a bad user interface. I returned mine and got a T637 and EVDO service with Verizon. Here's an updated pic of my new babies.

now thats what im talkin about! SE phones seem to work best (seamlessly) with isync and dont have any problems. i'm a HUGE nokia fan (i owned a 6230b) but had to part ways b/c the lack of support on isync. i'm currently using a k700i and lovin the synccing...

btw how is the verizon EVDO service and how much are you paying... i REALLY REALLY wish the 12" had a pcmcia so i could drop in the card and use that service...

cheers!

Nokias do work fine with iSync. The 6600 is pretty painless and its other Series 60 features blow most other phones out of the water.

Now, if you could get (well, actually if I could get) a Nokia with Series 60 software in a Razr phone (with MMC card also, for my N-Gage games), that would be the ultimate phone.

sorry but ur wrong, MANY of the newer series 60 nokia phones are not supported (ie 6620, 7610, 3230, 6670, 7260, 6260 and so on). the latest nokia series 60 supported is the 3660/20, which is to my tastes much too large and shaped like a dildo. my handset was a series40 albeit a wierd version of it, and i prefer basic feature phones with bluetooth support.

I've had a 6600, which is not dildo-shaped, and haven't had any problems with it, so I'm not sure where I'm wrong.

haha! no no the 36xx series look like dildos, the 66xx series look like hand grenades to me, the 6600 is actually a wonderful phone, if it werent so wide.... i just think apple needs to get on the ball, or nokia needs to make stuff work better...

The EVDO service is really a dream come true for me... the mobility freedom s amazing. It's completely switched the way I use the internet. Its with me on the road and when i come home... i just hook up the G5 to the powerbook and share the internet connection. The speeds are really broadband speeds... on speed tests I regularly get above 400kbps.... the tops i've gotten is 690kbps.;.. the upload is limited to around an hundred kbps... the tops I've gotten on speed tests is 104kbps. The cost is $80 per month and $200 for the pc 5220 card with a rebate of $150... the money that I save from not having a regular landline for DSL anymore is well worth it. PLus before I had DSL and Tmobile and the cost was about $90 per month for both... so last week both those serviceswere cancelled. Wireless is the future. I'm just happy to be having the future now...

you mean u had tmobile gprs right? (slow slow, i use it as well) is there anyway to use verizon without pcmcia card?

Jstein,

I got the wallpaper from this site http://www.pixelgirlpresents.com/ <--- this site is a great wallpaper site... I'm sure you will find lots that you like.

Crazeazn,

I had Tmbolie hotspot service for $30 a month... I tried out the unlimited GPRS service but as u said it was really really slow... slower than dialup.... lol... so I definitely cancelled that service after discovering how slow it was... they pro-rated my account.. so that testing which was done mostly on the razr should only cost me about $5 max. As of now i think EVDO on verizon is only pcmcia accessible. If you find out different... let me know... plus are you in a major city? The serive is only available in about 20 major cities and a few airports. Lets hope they build a bigger grid soon.

i'm in dallas and houston and occasionally austin, san antonio... dallas is guaranteed service for anything mobile, its one of the few select markets that support att's '3g' service albeit not as fast as verizon's, do you know anyone who has used sprint's data services?

[trancepriest]

Crazeazn,

Cool! Your in Texas... I lived in Dallas (Richardson) for a few years before my family moved to South Florida.

I was with Sprint before but unfortunately never tried out their data services. I do know that Sprint is in the process of building their EV-DO network. So it seems EV-DO will be the technology driving high speed wireless data connections

Here's an article on Sprints plans to adapt EV-DO:

Here's another one on speed trials of EV-DO vs. UMTS:

Here are the cities and airports that are covered by Verizon's wireless broadband.

Cities:

Atlanta, GA / Austin, TX / Baltimore, MD / Dallas, TX / Kansas City, MO
Las Vegas, NV / Los Angeles, CA / Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL / Milwaukee, WI
New Orleans, LA / New York, NY / Philadelphia, PA / San Diego, CA /
Tampa, FL / Washington, DC / West Palm Beach, FL

Airports:

Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport (DFW)
Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL)
George Bush/Intercontinental Houston Airport (IAH)
Houston William P. Hobby Airport (HOU)
Jacksonville International Airport (JAX)
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY)
Orlando International Airport (MCO)
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)
