[Messages] Ability to Unblock

In the new Messages tab (in v0.9.8+ which has rolled out to some users, if you don't have it yet it should make it out to you sometime in the future) it is possible to block people from sending you messages. When you block someone you get a confirmation window warning blocking can not be undone:
I do not find this a satisfactory solution, just like with Facebook I would like the ability to block and unblock people as I like. Just like relationships between people, blocking should not be a permanent undoable thing.

The reason i think they did that was that they may think that the Users are being blocked for only ONE reason, and that is probably that: the users who blocks don't want to have anything with the user to do

What happens to the iMessages a blocked contact sends you? Will recieve those messages once you unblock them?

Blocked users, where iMessages go

In my experience the Message will show as delivered at the senders end but on the device that has blocked the number the message will never be received, even if the number is unblocked at a later date the messages sent while it was blocked won't ever be received.

I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player, but the yellow bar with the 'Allow' button doesn't come up, so the programme is being blocked, giving me no ability to unblock it.

A bar is supposed to come up, when I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player. The bar is supposed to have an option to 'Allow' the download. The programme is being blocked and is not downloading, but the bar doesn't come up, so I'm unable to enable its download.

The instructions you are referring to are out of date and not the ideal way to install / update Flash.
Instead:
# Download (save to your desktop) http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
# Download http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
# Close Firefox
# Run uninstall_flash_player.exe, click through to uninstall any old versions of Flash

Is there a way to unblock html images in e-mail

we're using comexp (sun messaging server 6.2-3.04). When our users receive e-mail with html content, the images are blocked. Is there a way to unblock the images?
When the e-mail is forwarded to an external account that has the facility to unblock images, the images can be unblocked (e.g., like gmail). Just wondering if there is a way to unblock images when using the sun one messaging client.
Thank you,
Naveen

>
I will repeat my questions:
=> What version of Communications Express are you using (./showrev -p | grep uwc).
Saying "comexpress 6" is meaningless as it could mean one of 50 different releases spanning several years and hundreds of bug fixes.
=> Can you see the image if you view the email in Messenger Express?
The images are remote URL's that need to be downloaded by the browser. I have tried right clicking on the images and selecting Show Images in IE, but nothing happens. The images are still not displayed. => Does this problem happen in a non-IE browser e.g. Mozilla Firefox?
=> What type of image files are they e.g. JPG/GIF. Please provide an example URL.
When the e-mail is forwarded to another e-mail client that has the ability to unblock images, the images can be unblocked. I was wondering if there was a way to unblock the images using the Sun One Messaging web client. As I already said, Messaging Express / UWC/CE does not block images. You may however be hitting a bug with regards to downloading/parsing the URL correctly out of the html email.

Shane.

Setting for unblocking iTunes

I'm a Educational Technologist and our IT division is running a filter system called BlueCoat. I have the ability to unblock items in this system. When I put iTunes in the unblock section of the website I still cannot access the iTunes store, Podcasts, Radio stations or anything else that iTunes uses.
My question is:
What settings does iTunes use when accessing the store etc? If I know this I'm pretty sure I can get this unblocked. Ususally I would imput a setting such as www.apple.com to unblock the site.
Any help in this is greatly appreciated.

I put the domain names in and that did unblock the store, but the radio station still cannot be accessed.
When I tried inputing the Akamai ranges I got a invalid URL message from Blue Coat. Apparently it want only .net,.com or .org type of entries.
Any suggestions

Messages getting stuck in Queue

Hi All,
In my scenario data is coming from database into XI and creating a file in SAP. The messages are getting stuck in the Queue and in message monitoring the status is showing as 'waiting'. Earlier the messages were getting successfully processed but system was running slow for the past two days. Is this because of system speed or some data issue?
For testing pupose I have deleted the old messages from Smq2 and tried but every new message is getting stuck in the queue. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Aparna

Creating a QueueReceiver after sending message to the QueueSender

          Hi,
          I'm implementing a blocking system, sending messages to a JMS Queue.
          In a servlet, in the init method, I'm creating the QueueSender object.
          When calling the servlet, in the service method, if I need to create a new
          message to let users know
          that one primary key is blocked, I create a message with a:
               msg.setStringProperty("MyTablePrimaryKey", "PKValue");
          Then, I send it.
          If other clients want to update that record, he creates in the servlet's service
          a QueueBrowser like this:
          QueueBrowser receptor=qsession.createBrowser (myQueue, strFilter);
          where strFilter is "MyPrimaryKey IS NOT NULL".
          If the enumeration my QueueBrowser returns hasMoreElements(), the record is
          blocked.
          To unblock a record, I fetch the message from QueueBrowser with the with Enumeration.nextElement,
          and I set:
          message.setJMSExpiration(1);
          so the message is automatically deleted from the queue.
          I tried to use QueueReceiver to implement it, but as I don't know the filter's
          name in the init method of my servlet,
          it's not possible to read messages if the QueueReceiver is created after having
          sent those messages.
          Is my implementation correct? Is the behaviour of QueueReceiver logical?
          Of course, I'm thinking of doing all these things in EJBs to use transactions
          with JTA and JMS. Can be any problem
          with it?
          Sorry for the long question, but I've started discovering JMS a few hours
          ago, and it looks so interesting... :-)
          Best Regards,
          Ignacio

          Gah!! This behavior is not supported. Do not depend on it to
          be there in future releases or SPs. Any changes to an already
          sent message by a client should propagate to the copy that
          is on the server.
          In fact, I think this may have already been fixed. Can you
          tell me which release and SP you are using?

          If a QueueBrowser can see the message so should a QueueReceiver. They
          both use the same filter/selector mechanism. It is surprising
          that one worked and the other didn't. Or are you referring to
          the normal behavior that only one QueueReceiver can "see" the message
          at a time? And that once a QueueReceiver has a message the
          QueueBrowser will not "see" it?

Messaging problems with Nokia 6760

Hi,
I purchased my Nokia 6760 about 4 months ago, and everything was working perfectly until a week ago when it just stopped sending messages. All the messages sit in the outbox.
I have not made any changes to the Messaging Settings, this loss of messaging ability happened spontaneously.
Im sure there is no problem with the network, as when I put the SIM in other phones, messages do send.
Please help me fix this problem. Thanks.

I have just encountered this exact same problem as you! I have had the Nokia 6760 slide for approx 5 months and all of a sudden the sms messages are not being sent. Everything else works fine, and like you, when I put my sim card in other phones I can send sms messages normally.
Has your problem been fixed?? Any help/tips would be much appreciated! Thanks!!!

My Wishlist for WebOs Update 1.4.5 - ALL REASONABLE AND Somewhat EASY.

I just bought a Palm Pre and I love it far more than any windows or blackberry phone I ever had and far more than my old iphone. Its also, in my opinion, more of a draw for me than the android is.
And I am sure that even though I am posting this, many users have mentioned this and Palm is aware. But I figure I could voice my opinion and hopefully make these things more of a reality than not. Now basically the options I added would help me to work better with my Pre. But there are some items that just need to be there which are in almost all smartphones these days. I put two ** next to those items. The other stuff would just make my life easier as well as other peoples lives and would put the pre ahead of the competition. I know most of these can be used by adding patches. But its a hassle to have to add them and then remove them everytime an update comes along. So for now, I say go ahead with the planned 1.4.1 WebOS update. But I do think that by 1.4.5, it should have these features.
So here goes:
Contacts:
*Support for LDAP Syncing
*More than one photo
*Add videos of the person
**Categories
**Better search including the ability to search for categories or in general even in the notes.
*An option to link Contacts to their spouses and children.
**Add more options for anniversaries and dates and such and have it show up on the calendar automatically.
*Ability to add a different video and or photo to each type of phone number.
**Ability to Jump to a letter or category.
**A sorting feature to sort by companies, phone number, last name, first name, address, etc....
*Ability to add a middle name as well as a Maiden Name.
*Ability to add more than one note and child.
Calls:
*Ability to customize what details are shown on the call screen, such as what phone number they are calling from, multiple photos or even a video of the person.
**Ability to see Received calls, missed calls, placed calls along with a duration and timestamp. (I know some of these are there already).
*Add a fast dialing system for the first digits 1 through 0. Basically you can assign a number to speed dial. Holding that button will allow the speed dial to dial automatically.
**Before dialing from Missed calls or contacts, let it ask you if you want to call. Dont just call right away.
Verizon Specific:
**Support for Visual VoiceMail
**VZ Navigator 5
*Vcast Videos and music
Calendar:
**Ability to search calendar
**Ability to see colors on month view.
*Year View - This is possible. I have seen this on other devices with smaller screens.
*Ability to add a contact to the Calendar Event.
*Attachments from the calendar.
Messaging:
*Changing the theme of the IM screen.
**Seeing the character and page count as we type
*Automatically changing to MMS to add Video, sound and pictures.
**Ability to beam messages and conversations.
*Ability to not only view as conversations, but also individual messages.
*IM logins for MSN, MSN Live, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Facebook.
Camera:
**Add support for Panaramic view
**Add support for digital zoom in and out using the volume keys and multi touch.
**Add an option for Shutter Sound
**Support for Face recognition and light detection.
**Ability to set the resolution of the pictures and videos being taken.
**A menu option for all of this.
*Add features for Focus and Exposure.
*Image modes such as Black and White, Watercolor and other colors.
**Scene modes such as Landscape, portrait, Sunset, Dusk, Night time and Action.
*After taking a photo, let it come up with an option on if you want to save or discard the photo, while it shows you a preview of the image.
**An option to add the photo video to your contacts, facebook, google Orkut, Twitter, MySpace, photobucket and others.
**Ability to send as MMS after taking the photo/video along with an option to resize it to MMS size quality.
*Timer so that the camera can shoot after a specific time.
*An option to add backgrounds and scenery.
Browser:
**iPhone Spoofing.
*Ability to send page link
**Ability to remember passwords and logins
**Ability to type in a new web URL while on any page.
Messaging:
*Smiley faces
Device Settings:
*A setting where you can tell it to never shut off if its plugged in. This way the device is always on while being plugged in.
*Led Notifications.
Launcher:
**Ability to add new pages
**Ability to set how many items are displayed per row
*Ability to have page tabs and either name them or go by number.
*Ability to change launcher background or make it transparent.
**When moving an icon around, can there be a way of doing a cut and paste on the icon, rather than dragging it across screens? One option would be to hold your finger down, it cuts it, then goto the page you want to move it to and click on it and it gets pasted.
New Features:
**An on screen Keyboard
**Many if not all apps and features should support the accelerometer, landscape/portrait and instant flipping.
*An option to control the transitions when flipping with the accelerometer.
*On the launch bar, add an IM icon since a lot of people use that more than the E-mail Icon.
*On the launch bar, Add a speed Dialer contacts view which would display 15 contacts by photo and you can click one to dial.
*An ability to start with the launcher opened or with just a background,
Title Bar:
**Date and time with day of the week: Day of the Week mm/dd/yy hh/mm/ss/am-pm: EG: Mon 2/12/10 11:13:05AM
**Put the percentage of the battery next to the battery icon.
Music Player:
*Add an option for bookmarking.
**Add a scrollbar to move to a position in the song.
*Ability to create your own playlist.
*Ability to find Lyrics online
*Basically whatever the music player remix can do.
Bluetooth:
**Ability to sync with other Microsoft devices.
Volume Settings:
**Add from loudest to quietest to Vibrate to no sound at all. I miss the vibrate option on this phone as a setting.
Enhancements:
**Better battery life
**Faster loading (Even though I think it does well already)
**Bug fixes.
Possible features for programming:
*Support for Allegro
*Support for LUA
*Support for OpenGL (If its not supported currently)
*Support for QT (If its not supported currently)
*Support for AngelScript
If anyone wants to add or agree, go ahead. But please use the same format as I just did. Thanks for listening Palm.

Holy crap your asking for a lot. Some of it I certainly agree with, but, some of it frankly would appeal to too few users or is so much beyond what the competition is offering in the price range that I wouldn't hold your breath. That said, you asked for a few things that are already there that you were perhaps either unaware of or maybe don't function the way you would like them to (in which case be more specific.)
**A sorting feature to sort by companies, phone number, last name, first name, address, etc....
-There are some sorting features available. When in the contacts main screen, press the menu bar and go to preferences. The top option labeled "List Order" is a sort function. Available options are "First Name," "Last Name," "Company & first name," "Company & last name."
*Ability to add a middle name as well as a Maiden Name.
-If you tap the menu bar while editing a contact you will see an option for "Name Details." This will bring up a screen with fields for Prefix, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, and Suffix.
*Ability to add more than one note and child.
-Not sure I understand the need for multiple notes, but each their own etc... As for child, the field is labeled "Children" I'm not sure why you need anything more than to separate multiple childrens names with a comma. Just curious as to why you want an individual field per child (not judging, just curious.)
*Add a fast dialing system for the first digits 1 through 0. Basically you can assign a number to speed dial. Holding that button will allow the speed dial to dial automatically.
-This is already there. When viewing a contact (not editing), press the menu bar. Second option down is "Set Speed Dial." Once there Palm has done you one better than 0-9 by offering you nearly every key on the qwerty keyboard. Caveat, best as I've been able to determine the press and hold only works in the phone app or home/launcher screens.
*Ability to send page link
-This can already be done. While viewing a web page, press the menu bar, then Page. One of the options is "Share." Selecting this will open a new e-mail with the link and embed a .png thumbnail of the page.
**Ability to type in a new web URL while on any page.
- Unless the system "carat" is in a text field of some sort at the time. Just starting to type will bring up the address box.
*Led Notifications.
- As someone else pointed out, this was added with 1.4.0. It's settings are located within "Screen&Lock" on the 3rd launcher page. I don't know what affect having a 3rd party patch addressing the same functionality would have if you played with the built in settings while the patch is installed.
**Add from loudest to quietest to Vibrate to no sound at all. I miss the vibrate option on this phone as a setting.
- Not really sure what you're asking for here. Volume keys can get you from loudest to no sound at all. There is also a physical switch next to the power button which depending on what you choose in the "Sounds & Ringtones" on the 3rd launcher page can be either silent or vibrate.
*On the launch bar, add an IM icon since a lot of people use that more than the E-mail Icon.
- If you're talking about replacing the e-mail icon with the messaging app, you can do this now. It's done the same way you move icons within the launcher.
*On the launch bar, Add a speed Dialer contacts view which would display 15 contacts by photo and you can click one to dial.
- This can be accomplished by a number of 3rd party apps. Check the App Catalogue.
Okay onto my soapbox:
Contacts:
Yes, LDAP is an old and useful early net protocol. But it's also one that has fallen largely into disuse. Not saying you shouldn't use it or like it, but you may be the first person I've seen even mention it in a good 6-8yrs.
I'm not sure why the need for multiple contact photos. Definitely don't see the need for video other than the play with it once "ooh nifty" factor. You acknowledge it's "gimmicky" and then expect Palm to provide it free as opposed to buying a 3rd party app. That's not something that many people are going to want let alone need. If you want it, and someone agrees with you and wants to develop it then you can pay for it. Personally, I'd rather Palm being a smaller company focus its attentions elsewhere including some of the points on your list.
Agree 100% with categories and better searching as well as the need for birthdays/aniversaries etc. showing up in the calendar.
Calls:
More details would be nice but again I disagree with mult photos or video.
I too would like it to be a little less quick to dial. I'm thinking a press and hold on the screen to dial rather than an additional confirmation prompt. In my mind that would be enough to guard against accidental dialing without being a nuisance when dialing is desired.
Verizon:
Visual VoiceMail would be nice definitely. However it's support may not be a Palm issues so much as a Verizon (and/or what ever subcontractor handles that for them) issue. No comment on VZNav and Vcast, have never and don't use them.
Calendar:
Funny thing about the adding contacts to events. The under-the-hood support for that functionality I've discovered is actually there. It seems there is just no way to access it when creating or modifying existing events. I recieved an mms with an event from a blackberry that had persons attached and when loaded into my calendar I was able to see and IIRC even modify attached e-mail addresses (which Synergy resolved to the appropriate contacts in my phone.)
Messaging:
**Ability to beam messages and conversations.
-Not sure what you mean by this. Beaming used to refer to IR transfers. Pre/Pixi don't have IR transceivers so I'm not sure what it is your asking for.
Camera:
Panorama wouldn't really be useful. The camera is fixed zoom with a physically determined aspect ratio. All Palm could do through software is crop the top and bottom of the image so that what's left is a panoramic looking image. It would not however be any wider a view than what you would getting taking a landscape oriented photo. Unless of course you mean taking multiple photos that would get stitched together which is another matter entirely.
As for the rest, I think your giving a smart phone camera too much credit and using to replace a purpose built camera. I've occasionally seen one or two of the other requests in smart/camera phones but never all. Being a full on camera is just not what they're designed for. Obviously you can ask, but I wouldn't hold your breath for Palm to add those features. The demand is probably not there among the majority of the userbase and targeted demos for the devices.
Launcher:
Everything you've asked for is available in PreWare as a patch. I've got several of 'em installed. The code to add launcher pages was apparently already within the OS and the patch merely enables this existing code. So I imagine much of these requests will be officially enabled at some point in a future webOS update.
Other:
I'm curious, in your follow up post you state that face recognition has been on every other smart phone you've owned. Which phones? I've never seen that on anything other than proper cameras (possible exception may be iPhone 3GS which I haven't played with.) Regardless, don't expect it on the Pre. It's a fixed focus camera so face recognition will do virtually nothing but take up processing power (well could be used for exposure but...)
Not trying to be critical but a lot (but not all) off the stuff you asked for is probably way to niche in terms of the majority of users or potential users for it to be worth Palm to devote resources to over other future features and bug fixes. Some of it might be nice to have (including much of your camera list,) but I'd have to call it low priority since much of it can be done in other ways (off phone) without much difficulty or potentially with 3rd party down the road.

Birthday Reminders in Calender taking from contacts.(As like anniversary)

Thank you nokia for the recent release of v30. Below are what nokia is still missing and still need work on for nokia x6.
Messaging
-Ability to select multiple messages with ease (Check boxes)
-Ability to search within the messages without having to use a Search app
-Ability to predict text in Qwerty mode, correct typos
-Allow users to set the preferred connection to sync emails (Currently it doesn't allow users to choose during first email configuration wizard)
-Remove "show open apps" from option menu (Redundant, this option is already available when holding middle key)
Home screen
-Ability to display notification like older nokia smart phone models (received messages, missed calls) and able to integrate with facebook app to display facebook notification.
-API to be improved to allow apps to integrate with it, allow tweeter notification, facebook, friendster. (Must have option to select/disable)
-Widget support
-Allow adding of more app short cuts (Can use the readily available technique used to display contacts)
Music player
-Ability to search music within player
-Improve music player performance
-Allow music player to update music contents (album art, album info)
Connection manager
-Allow users to disable a specific type of connection from taking place
-When a connection has already taken place especially if its WIFI, all other apps (browser, ovi store, music store, ovi contacts) must not ask what connection to take. This improves user friendliness
-Link to connection log (remove connection log from the "Log" application
-Allow a type of connection to be set as default: (Example I set WIFI as default) this makes all application to use WIFI or search for WIFI to begin connection
Log
- Log should be broken down to sub categories : Call log, Internet log, System log, Messaging log
-New feature to display system logs which is able to display error messages, crashes, hangs, and background apps that has performed something successfully (eg, successfully Connected at 12.00am)
-Allow security module to prevent access to all logs and allow users to choose to password protect their logs
Menu
- Allow users to move menu items easily (Ability to select multiple objects eg icon is highlighted to show that it is selected) and move items to another location in one go
- Responsive UI, increase speeds of opening folders with large amount of files
- Improve logic of screen taping: [single tap to select, double tap to open]. Currently this is not uniform throughout the system. Some functions require double tap some opens in single tap
- Display available RAM (Random access memory) so that users know how many tasks can run or can be opened.
System
-Improved CPU management
-Improved RAM/memory management
-Ability to isolate hanged application and display "App has hanged, end task?"
-Allow rotation to be locked from Options (Userful when on bed or in car )
Browser
-Tabbed browsing
-Allow users to hold screen on a link or anywhere on the screen to open a sub menu which displays : "Select text", "copy", "paste", "open new window"
-Better web rendering for big websites so that "Memory full please close some apps" is not displayed.
-Better flash rendering
-Improved flash player
-Extension support, allow community developers to create extensions
-Improved buttons :
Remove the Options and Stop
Replace with specific buttons/symbols that serves one function. (Currently Stop is able to change to Back, change to Close)
Buttons should be placed on a tab that hides when finger moves away and neatly slides up when finger comes close to the bottom
Camera
-Allow settings to be saved example (color type :normal, vivid) so that it is available when camera starts up again
Bluetooth
- Allow users to choose where a file is to be saved
- Separate received bluetooth files from Inbox.
- Dedicated inbox for receiving bluetooth files (In a case of receive multiple files)
- Battery saving mode : Caps speed and range in this mode
Gallery
-Improve the zooming speed
-Improve loading of large image files
-Ability to search for an image from the gallery itself
-Ability to create folders in the image gallery
Video Player
-Ability to support codes that can be downloaded and installed or purchased
-New supported formats for commonaly used videos like dviX, rmvb, mkv
Ovi store
- Improve loading speed as it is such a small app
- Integrate with TopApp
Games
- The games folder is unlogical as users can place anything in that folder
- Should be a "Game Centre" which integrates it self to Ovi Store and ability to download games from there, and install together
-Sort games based on type :Action, Adventure, Sports,
-Support for more API to allow creative developers to make better games
Some ridiculous logic
Ovi store, ovi music follows the internet settings of the browser. This confuses new users. Ovi store should have independant settings so should ovi music.
Thats all for now. You see nokia, if you improve these features you are allowing millions of customers to be at peace. We buy your product because we still have hope.
The creation of Nokia X6 has dissapointed many customers because of its instability, uniform features, speed. Functionality wise nokia lacks its "smart" as a smart phone. All the features I suggested above is "possible" to be worked on. Improve this features so that more customers will have faith on your future models.

Off-Topic: Open Source Wiki/Forum/Knowledge Sharing?

Did not really have another forum to post this to, so I thought I would so here. We are looking to set up a mini-portal accessible on our intranet. The idea would be to share best practices, standards, designs, results of continuous integration (testing coverage, maven build results, etc.) and a number of other documents.
My first thought was to put in a Wiki (easy to edit and publish content, keeps track of revisions, allows attachments, etc.) Then after thinking about it, some of the features of a forum were also nice (threaded messages, ability to watch topics, etc.)
Does anyone know of a good hybrid that would allow both sets of features? Ideally, something in Java that we could simply drop a WAR onto one of our lower environment app servers. Integration with LDAP would be a huge plus (would not have to administer security separately).
Much obliged.

Perfect. More than what I was looking for. Thanks Navy. I would give Dukes if I could, but those days are no more. So, please simply accept my gratitude.
Accepted :)
I think that part of the reason that the distro is so huge is because it includes three or for app servers with it (jboss, tomcat, glassfish and maybe one or two others).
Anyways - glad I could help.

Before there's a new iPhone model...

Is there a chance we can get basic features that continue to be left out included? To me, it seems crazy to keep revising the iPhone and still having some of the most basic features left out, unless there is some good reasoning for doing so! Is there?
Features like:
Copy/Cut and Paste?!?
Ability to receive pictures in text messages
Ability to attach pics to an email from within the mail app?
Switchable battery (Apple could be selling so many extra batteries to iPhone users!)
Ability to shoot video with the camera (they used to say this was strictly a software feature that could be added later...even my old Palm Treo did video!)
A small LED flash for the camera? Even cheap flip phones have that
A two sided camera so we can someday have video chat?

I am a LONG time Apple user, possibly longer than you....
Maybe or maybe not, but so friggin' what if you are? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? BTW, my first Apple computer was an Apple IIe, which didn't have a hard drive - operated with a 5&1/4" floppy drive, and I had two of them. That was in the early 80's - so there.
There is nothing wrong with providing constructive feedback, but by posting it here you are providing it to fellow users only.

Who on earth do you think you are addressing this to? This is a user to user help forum only for technical support issues and questions. You aren't directing anything to Apple here, and Apple certainly won't respond to your questions here or anywhere else for that matter.
I'm not protecting anything. If the iPhone didn't include my most important needs and wants - especially a list of 5 what I consider "basic things", I would not have purchased one.
Just last night, I had to endure a stranger putting his cheapy LG flip phone in my face, that had a flash, ability to receive and send MMS text, shoot video, etc.
You had to "endure"? Give me a break.
So according to your arguement, I should buy one of those instead?
That is correct. I'm a firm believer that you should purchase and continue using a device or any product that meets your most important wants and needs so that you don't have to "endure" any strangers putting a cheapy or otherwise device "in your face that includes your most important needs and wants or includes what you consider "basic" things. I'm not such a long time Apple user that I purchase any and everything Apple puts out unless it meets my needs and wants. If the iPhone didn't include what I consider "basic" things, I would not have purchased one - especially if there are other devices that do. How is that protecting Apple - telling people to purchase another device instead? Protecting and defending would be giving you suggestions to explain to a stranger the reasoning for your iPhone not being able to match the features of all these cheapy flip phones, etc. along with giving you reasons why you and others don't need or want those "basic" things. I can't give you good reasoning or otherwise why Apple chose to not include what you consider "basic" things, nor will you get any from Apple - especially here. Do you believe all Apple employees who were on the iPhone development team had never owned or used a cell phone, or didn't know anyone who did, and Apple didn't do any research whatsoever? Apple knows about the features other phones include, and they have chosen to not include certain features - why is anyone's guess. At the end of the day, you should purchase a device that includes what you consider "basic" things and that meets your most important needs and wants, not just blindly purchasing the iPhone because it is an Apple product and you are a LONG time Apple user.
If I am to defend my iPhone, how do you suggest I explain to a stranger the reasoning for my device not being able to match the features of his crappy phone?
I don't need to defend anything, so I don't have a suggestion for you to explain to a stranger why you chose to purchase an iPhone when it doesn't include what you consider "basic" things.

Weird: Can't Make or Receive Calls with Full Signals

Got an unusual one for you. For the most part, my iPhone has been excellent. Just about anywhere I go (in NY Metro area) I have had no problem making and receiving calls. The one major problem I have is that it does not seem to work at my desk at work. The wierd part is that I have FULL Antenna Signal and FULL EDGE signal at my desk (3rd floor of a 7 flr bldg) yet calls can not be sent or received. Incoming calls can not even be sent to voicemail, they are simply not connected at all (just two beeps after dialing). However, I do have internet access(although limited) and no text messaging ability. If I walk around the floor of the building and go closer to a window, the calls can go through, texting works and the internet is blazing. I called Apple who routed me to AT&T. ATT was so wrapped up in indicating that they do not guarantee reception indoors that I don't know if they really even considered whether it was a service issue or an iPhone issue. Either way the rep said that they have been dealing with this issue where full reception is identified but there is no service. They also indicated that the issue is predominantly found in large buildings. Any ideas on how to solve this??? Oh yeah, the guy in my office 8 ft away has Verizon with no phone calling problems at all. Thx 4 the help.

I went through the same with Verizon at my house. I had been a Verizon subscriber for my personal cell phone since the summer of 2001 until 3-4 months prior to the iPhone being released. While a close friend of mine was visiting for a few days who is an AT&T subscriber, he had much better reception at my house - not 5 bars but much better than the 1 bar I had with Verizon. I contacted Verizon technical support who told me the very same - they are not responsible for reception inside any building - too many factors with building materials, etc. Verizon updated the software on my phone, replaced the battery, sent someone out to my house and neighborhood to check reception, gave me another phone to use as a test but at the end of the day, nothing changed so Verizon let me out of my contract with a year remaining without charging me the early contract termination fee. I use my personal cell phone in place of a landline so reception at my house is important. I have much better reception with AT&T at my house - both with my first subsidized phone and with my iPhone.
Somewhat different from your situation with having full reception but not being able to make calls but since this only occurs at your desk at work, I don't believe the problem lies with your iPhone. There is probably a Verizon subscriber that may have the same problem at another location in your building. There are differences between CDMA and GSM networks which probably has a factor in this. This is relative by provider depending on location. There are some areas that I frequent often where I have reception with my iPhone but I didn't with Verizon.

Kin Twom Verizon and Microsoft are missing a great opportunity

To my mind the Kin Twom is a great feature phone with only two problems that really need correcting. First and foremost contacts need to be able to be saved away from the phone. Kin Studio needs to opened up to the latest Kin phones and not shut down at the end of January. Zune software needs to be modified to save contact information. Verizon needs to make My backup assistant work on the Kin phones. One of these things needs to happen in case your Kin is lost, stolen, etc. and to make moving to a new phone in the future easier.
The second problem with the Kin phone is the inability to organize contacts into some kind of groups. If you have the capability to store 1000 contacts in the phone, you need some way to organize them. Feature phones far less capable than the Kin already have this. How hard can it be to program this feature in.
I recently went looking for a touch phone that I could use without a data plan. It came down to the Pantech Crux, LG Cosmos Touch and the Kin Twom. The Kin Twom was the obvious choice for me. Where else can you get a feature phone with Wifi, touch screen and an 8 megapixel camera with flash and zoom, and music player?
Sure the interface takes some getting used to. But it is miles better than most of the Verizon feature phones. Those interfaces have not changed in years. The Kin is a windows interface (not quite Windows phone 7, but still good). People should stop comparing it to a smart phone. That's not what it is. It lies somewhere between a feature phone and a smart phone.
I also liked the original Kin phones with the social networking features. Some of these features were really unique. I read all the reviews that said the phones failed because the data plan was too expensive. That's not the phone's fault, it is the fault of Verizon marketing. A social networking phone with the ability to save photos and contacts info up in the cloud was really unique in the feature phone market. Both Verizon and Microsoft have really screwed this up. They have a product that could truly impact the feature phone market for years. Frankly there a lot of people who don't want/need a smart phone. Instead those of us with Kins are having the come up with workarounds for the contact problems and watching the unique features of the phone being stripped out by Verizon/Microsoft. Sad

What everyone said here is right on the money. Simple fixes, none of these are new to phone technology, nor are they absent from any other feature phone, but they would do wonders for the Kin phones. Like technobody said, the exact 3 phones were in my considerations, and for the exact same reasons, i didn't even hesitate to snatch up the Kin Twom. There are so many things you did right about this phone, the actual phone is a gem. It just has a few issues to be addressed.
For me, it boils down to 4 or 5 major issues that weren't addressed either in the beginning, or during the original to M model transition, that if they were fixed, 90% of its problems would be fixed:
contact transfer/backup (backup assist is verizon's own program, but because of the original loop, wasn't needed for this phone, and when re-writing this phone's software for feature phone release, somehow this slipped through quality control/testing)
volume keys locking upon phone lock
groups for contacts: ability to make and select contact groups, especially for mass texts, or easy access to contacts when the contact list gets very large and bothersome to scroll through. also to be able to select both the entire group, or go through and add 1-by-1 contacts from within the group (in other words, not exiting the select 'menu' until it is user-commanded to do so)
Messaging: ability to select individual messages and manage them, such as delete, forward, resend, view details, etc, as well as ability to select emails from contacts when adding to a sender. Additionally, being able to send quick-texts (user-saved, like in other feature phones), and having the keypad on the touchscreen appear as a slide-up/down functionality (think, cosmos touch design), so you can at least type when the phone is closed, for quick replies (w/ added predicative text). Afterall, the Kins were designed as messaging phones..so how does it not have predicative text (T9, iTap, etc), and not have any ability to text with the phone closed?
ringtone rename/deletion/organization into default groups of melodies/alerts/alarms, as well as a vibrate only setting for sounds (along with fixing the alarms to vibrate when phone is set to vibrate)

N96-factory settings error

secrity code was changed by me again n again, i forgot it, then tried restore factory settings and kept trying the different codes.
finally i got a message:-
code will unblock in 5 minutes.
what does this mean??
What's Worth Doing, Is Worth Doing Well!
All "N-series" are incredible!

It means you've entered an incorrect security code too many times in a row. You now have to wait before you can try and unlock the phone again.
