HI ALL, MOVING TO LEBANON AND WOULD LIKE TO TAKE AN UNLOCKED BB WITH ME.
WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST MODEL TO PURCHASE. WILL BE USING IT FOR WORK ETC.
THANKYOU IN ADVANCE.

Honestly, any of the newer devices, like the 9700, 9780 or 9800Torch.
You will need to have the device unlocked first, either by the retail seller or another trusted unlocking service like BlackberryUnlocks

Switching to AT&T Cingular - best phone for use with Mac and iSync

Dear Friends,
I am finally about to be free from Sprint's poor customer service. I will be switching to AT&T / Cingular. (Not quite ready to buy an iPhone, but don't want to be locked into a 2 year contract with another provider).
I want to use Apple's iSync. I have reviewed the list of compatible devices and scanned the forums for related topics.
I'm still left wondering:
What is the best phone to get with AT&T for use with iSync?
I would like to sync contacts both ways. If possible, syncing cal events and to-dos would be nice, but not as important as contacts.
I prefer small flip phones. I don't plan to buy the Media pack service that includes text, web, etc. Instead, I will use the phone for calls and occassional text messages.
Sound quality and the ease of use are the most important features for me. I prefer raised keys to the flat keypads, but could give on this if need be.
Finally, using the phone as a modem with my laptop would be nice, but is not essential.
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.
David

I am facing the exact same question regarding, e.g., the Nokia 6126. There are several references:
1. Go to the Nova Media web site and look at their new product, Fone Link. Or their iSynch Plugins
2. One of the forum threads references, http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060915154526806
3. Another link I found http://soapbox.co.nz/past/2007/4/9/nokia-6126-and-isync-revisited/
But what I don't yet understand is whether or not any of these suggestions/solutions are affected by the carrier. My understanding is that the 6126 is the North America Version of the 6131. But I talked to ATT/Cingular support yesterday and they make some modifications to the phone software. They don't know if the ATT 6126 will synch with a Mac. Of course they know the answer if synching with a PC (!!)

Black Fri -- best phone for Flash 10.1 'touch'

I've really been 'chomping-on-the-bit' to try some of the touch programming features of the next release of flash, but I haven't got a phone for it yet. Flash 10.1 doesn't come out for a little bit so I've been putting off doing any research on it. But I glanced through the fliers tonight and I'm seeing some REALLY good deals. So the big question is, which phone would be the best for a touch screen programmer. I'm not looking to dazzle my friends, but I am looking to have a piece of equipment that will suite my needs as a developer. I understand that the iPhone doesn't use Flash, so that one is definitely off of the list.
Any thoughts from developers who might know.

Thanks for the link.
If I'm understanding the info on Adobe Labs correctly, apps built in the new 10.1 or CS5 can be run on the iPhone if they're converted from the .swf to the iPhones .ipa, but it still won't play flash streaming video such as what you would find on Hulu -- if I'm understanding this correctly.
I'll be honest, I don't understand the situation completely, but I'm a little miffed as to why, by in large, everyone seems to play OK with Flash except Apple. I look around and it seems that any designer/developer worth their salt has a Mac, so why make it dificult for iPhone developers? I'm confused.
Like I mentioned before, the iPhone seems to be the benchmark for all other handhelds, but I'm not inclined to go that route if the majority of the other handhelds will work directly with 10.1/CS5. Processor speed and data transfer will only ever increase and because of this I believe that streaming video will be a big part of the future for hand helds. In my opinion, Flash has the best platform for this. Apple has distinguished itself by standing apart, but I'm inclined to go with the mobile platforms that work with Flash directly.
Thanks for the input

Best phone for whatsapp? [And cheap!]

I own a Nokia Asha 201(qwerty) which came with a whatsapp, but I couldn't use it because it caused the internet to always be on. It doesn't have the option to switch the internet off, due to which I had to get rid of whatsapp. Otherwise I didn't really have any problems with this. I didn't really think not having whatsapp would be a problem, but since everyone's basically breathing through the app, there are so many things that aren't really easy for people who don't have it or can't use it.
So my main question is, what are the best Nokia QWERTY phones(if there are better non qwerty phones, please do suggest them as well) for whatsapp that allows you to switch the internet off? Wifi doesn't really matter either.
My budget is Rs.4,500. It would be best if it's under Rs.4,000, though.

In a Nokia Series 40 phone like the Nokia 210 with disabled mobile data, WhatsApp continues to try to go online which drains the battery. In a Symbian/S60 phone like the Nokia E6 or Nokia 700, WhatsApp can be disabled via LeStartStop and CloseWhatsApp. Windows Phone is outside of your price range. Mhm. What about enhancing your contract to include a small data volume?

Best phone for Sync-ing with iCal?

I'm due to upgrade my mobile and wondered which is the best available handset for Sync-ing with a mac. At present I have the Sony Ericson K750i which was working fine up until I upgraded to Tiger.
Any ideas?

Has anybody had any experience syncing the Motorola
KRZR with iCal?
I own a Motorola KRZR K1m (Sprint), which is supposedly supported by iSync 2.4. This seems to be a troublesome phone in regard to compatibility with iSync. If you read the iSync discussions, you will see many problems. Those that do get iSync to accept the KRZR as "supported" seem to still have problems with iCal in particular. Evidently, there are some system hacks available to force the sync to work with iCal. If you are not comfortable with getting inside files and re-writing code, then you may not be a happy camper.
Naturally, if you have access to a Windows machine, you will have no problem. (... Getting ready to duck, since that last statement will draw out all the Apple apologists and Apple-employee-wannabes ...)
Personally, I have had no success getting iSync to recognize my KRZR at all. While I can transfer files via bluetooth, the iSync issues make me wish I had some other phone. In fact, the iSync/KRZR issues are probably going to lead me to change to another (known to be supported) phone. Since I'm stuck with Sprint, that won't be easy.
Good luck!

Best phone for syncing with Office for Mac 2008?

I'll be getting a new phone in a few months and I want to get one that syncs perfectly and effortlessly with Office for Mac 2008.
I currently use a Motorola Q and a Macbook Pro and have to go through isyncing Office with the Mac versions (iCal and Address Book) and then syncing using Missing Sync. It works, but it's slow and not very elegant.
What's the smoothest solution?
- Mike

Just be careful if you use categories in Entourage for your mail, calendar and contacts and determine whether those categories will move with your contacts and other data to the iPhone when it syncs. I doubt that it will if sync services works the same way between Entourage and iCal because it doesn't support the category capabilities in Entourage which is why people had turned to Missing Sync for the 2004 version of MS Office 2004
FWIW

Nokia E52 BEST Phone ever used, but come on Nokia ...

Hi there,
Nokia plz listen,
The Nokia E52 is the best phone i have owned, in fact it is one of the few phones I bought directly from Nokia rather than via contract etc. Perfect SIze, excellent build quality, good screen, oodles of features, great battery and the best feature is the great well set out keypad.
The E52 is now getting on 2-3 years old, and although its great to use with the nice weighted keys, screen and features, I wish Nokia would bring out a newer E52 with a few subtle upgrades which I am sure will get Nokia sales back up to where they should be.
Most businesses still prefer keypad phones than touchscreen, and the E52 is a massive hit in the UK for example.
Nokia, add some features like this to new E52 successor:
1) Joystick navigation should be the same but with touchpad controls (same as E72)
2) Faster CPU- e52 feels sluggish
3) More memory
4) SYmbian seems to no longer be supported, so not sure if a newer symbian or WM/Android software is needed.
5) DO NOT make it touchscreen, I want a phone that has a good battery and does not need charging everyday like Touchscreen phones.
6) Better camera with autofocus features.
Nokia, this is the perfect phone, just add the above features and the people who still love keypad phones will come to buy the handset, I know I would....
Does Nokia even read these forums and feedback to the developers?
Anyone else share the same view?

Yes I am also waiting for a successor of my E52.
I had an E51 before and now the 52 .... both the best phones for my kind of usage.
As many others I tried touch-phones but it just does not feel 'right' for me. I know it is up
to taste but I like to have a telephone, if you know what I mean. Also phones like the Iphone
etc. do not have any kind of 'want-to-have' effect on me, and it might be by (a big?) part that I
associate these phones more and more with 16y old teens using them ... well actually
the biggest part of the grown-ups seem to want to do the same
Sadly the market for businesslike 'real' phones is becoming smaller and smaller. I still like
my E52 a lot but I would like to see some changes on my wish-successor.
- As mentioned: Better processor. All programs should start fast. Menus pop up instantly etc.
-Would love a phone like this with a high-res display, 640*320 .... with a deep dark. One is allowed to dream ;-)
- Keypad-light done more sophisticated build, maybe single led for the different keys, well I am no
ingenieur.
-Scroll-Pad: I'd like a scroll function like in a blackberry. Could be useful with Emails, websites etc.
- Better OS: I know this will be the killer for that phone as Symbian will only go so far anymore and
sadly everything new developed is touch centered. I do not know how far Windows Phone etc. could be
incorporated.
Well ... let's see what will come in the future

It is certainly not a virus. There are none.
Try the basic troubleshooting steps.

Sometimes all that is required is to restart the iPhone.
The final step is to restore it. Always back up your iPhone first.

What is the best family plan option. Currently have one smart phone with 30gb of data and 3 basic phones. Also have home phone for $20/month. Current plan is 700 shared minutes and unlimited texting. My bill is close to $200/month, looking to lower if possible.

On a tablet- pse forgive typos....
Great Advice given earlier by SuzyQ - I believe the question not asked of you is ---what do you want to pay for the services that you need. I think that it would narrow the groups suggestions if you could narrow your needs.
For example: I need talk and text on 4 phones and some data say, 2 Gig, on only one of the phones. what plan is the best cost for me? You may also need to ask what the cost may be to switch to a different plan. I suspect that there will be no cost within Verizon-but ask anyway.
I do not think that you can have a smart phone on any Verizon plan unless you agree to buy data for that phone. Also, you said that wifi is often available-however, I do not believe that Verizon allows talking over wifi without consuming airtime minutes-only data over wifi avoids your allowance to be impacted.
As most here already know, several other service providers offer wifi-friendly service (talk/text/data) that will provide home/business/restaurant service without impacting your allowance- just not here.
After getting some suggestions here, call 611 and confirm availibility and price.
Best of luck in your research.

Best practice for phone number column data type

Hi,
I hope I have posted this in the right forum, if not just notify me and i will remove it to the correct area.
What would be considered best practice for storing a phone number.
Number of Varchar2.
Ben

Well I was thinking that Number would have the following disadvantages,
1. Users entering phone numbers into a form may be tempted to pre format with spaces, thereby throwing up an error.
2. Mobile phone numbers may have leading zeros
3. Calculations are not carried out on phone numbers.
I was leaning towards a varchar2 type.

I PURCHASED A IPHONE 4 IN SAN FRANCISCO FROM BEST BUY FOR USD 650 WITHOUT CONTRACT. I WANT TO UNLOCK THE PHONE TO USE IN INDIA AS IT IS LOCKED AT THE MOMENT

i purchased a iphone 4 in san francisco from a best buy for 649.99 usd without contract. the phone is however locked and i want it to be unlocked by apple officially. please help

Apple does not unlock iPhones, only the carrier that it is locked to can do that. Contact them. If you were sold a phone that was supposed to be unlocked when you purchased it (which is what it sounds like) you should contact Best Buy.
Best of luck.

Best option for a 'sim free' phone in the UK

Can anyone recommend a best option for getting a 'carrier free' 3GS for use with the Orange network in the UK?
Anyone out there who has bought one from a suitable 'sim free' country can give me any recommendations?
Thanks!

Why would a warranty not apply just because the phone ends up in a different country? If an Apple product is defective, then surely they have a legal responsibility to put the product right. It would be interesting to see how it stood up in a court of law. As consumers we all have rights regardless of what any manufacturer puts in their warranty information. In the UK the Sale of Goods Act means you are covered for up to six years if a product is defective because of an 'inherent fault' no matter what the manufacturer says.
Not true. I used to work for a company down in Berkshire. One of their products bought through official channels over here was covered.
Try buying one in the states because it was cheaper tho, and you'd suddenly find you had no warranty.
The Sale of goods Act is UK law not international law. It might apply to products bought somewhere in the EU but it wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on in the US.

What's the best phone app to use on iPad for uk users to make calls with

I know there's a few apps out there to use and make phone calls with, but which is the best one for uk users/callers.
I would prefer not to use Skype but if that's the best on the market, that's what I will use.
As you can probably guess I'm new to the iPad, so all the help I get is appreciated loads.

Cheers for that, looks like I will have to use Skype then. Unless someone else comes up with an answer.
