N or Eseries recommendations needed

I'm looking to replace my N70, but I'm having trouble deciding which to go for.
I need a phone that will read word documents exactly the same way as my N70 does with quickword.
None of this scroll along the line, then scroll back to begining of line and down to next line.I need to be able to read documents just by scrolling down.
I also need for the camera to be good.
Other than that I just need to be able to make calls and send texts.
Can documents be read easily on the N85 or N96? These are the two that I prefer. Although am I correct in thinking the N85 is superior in most regards to the N96?
Having had the N70, I also need a bit of reassurance:
Are there any major/irritating software flaws in either.
Thank you,
Sen

@senka
I can only really comment on the N85, as it is my current phone. If I had to sum it up in a few words, "Phone with fantastic potential as the Swiss Army Knife of SmartPhones, but underachieving at the moment".
The reason I say this? It is plagued (as are many N series phones), with software bugs and manufacturing flaws. It could truly be great but for its "minor" shortcomings. I won't go through every issue it has, there is more than enough said in this forum about the N85 problems, but one thread in particular you should read if you're considering the N85 is:

How do you host your external videos for good interactive PDF playback? Recommendation needed.

I'm trying to find out a good solution for adding externally hosted video content to an interactive PDF.
I understand that Vimeo/YouTube is out so I'm hoping to host content with a dedicated (payed service) video host.
Does anyone have a recommendation of a good video host for this purpose or indeed any tips/pitfalls in doing it this way?
The document needs to be lightweight so I can't embed videos.
Thanks!

I use iDefrag.
http://coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php
The also have a program called iPartition that does non-destructive partitioning very well. Coriolis Systems seems to do an excellent job writing their software in a way that respects OS X. Check out their website for a demo and a list of features.
I use the online defrag (it's quick and easy) once a week or so, and every three weeks or month I run a full defrag. To do a full defrag you need to either start up from another drive with iDefrag on it (I use my external Firewire drive) or burn a CD using the included utility to start up from.
I've been very impressed with this software and have found it invaluable for installing BootCamp on some laptops that had fairly full HDs where otherwise Boot Camp would say it couldn't partition.
iDefrag also optimizes the order of files on the disk and places metadata at the start of the drive for quick access. You can specify or create custom optimization algorithims if you have particular needs that vary from the norm.

Printer Recommendation Needed

My husband needs a new low-end desktop Mac, and I have a MacBook. We share a printer connected to his desktop now, but he is unhappy with his inkjet printer and wants something better with his new system.
Any recommendations for a laser - black and white or color - to connect to his new iMac and to wirelessly network to my MacBook? Both will be using 10.5.x.
Thanks!

I have a Samsung SCX-4500, a black and white laser printer that works well with Leopard. I've been able to connect to it also over my AEBS. You can probably get the same functionality out of their lower end model that doesn't include the scanner. Both are available on the Apple Store on line.

Docking/Charger station with speakers--recommendations needed.

I am looking for a docking station/ charger with speakers for my son. He has an iPad mini and an iPhone 4. I need a station that will charge even with the case on. Any recommendations?

The iPod 4 and iPad Mini use different connection types, so its unlikely you'll be able to find a dock with both types.
Perhaps your best bet is to find a dock tha has 2 or more 30 pin connectors and use the Lightning to 30 pin adapter from Apple for the iPad Mini.
Or find a Universal powerd USB Hub and use that to charge the devices.
As it stands there doesn't seem to be a device that can charge both types of devices and then have speakers.
http://www.quirky.com/products/113-Converge-Docking-Station
Thias for example will charge both of them simultaneously using each of their included USB cables, but has no speakers.

Replace HD -where and who? Recommendations needed

Well, since my earlier post, installed Tiger in hopes of fixing problem but looks like HD is dead. Got tiger installed, transferred files/apps/settings from backup HD and started updating software.
Now HD making all sounds of scratching and squeaky noises and won't boot.
So, anyone recommend third party to replace HD. Don't need anything fancy, 60 gb 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm will do. And estimated cost?

You didn't say where you are located. If in the US, use this link: http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ Outside the US the country Apple sites have a similiar link. This will tell you where Apple and Apple authorized service providers are near you. Note if you go to an Apple store, they will keep your old drive, however, since you have it backed up already, and can still erase it, that shouldn't be a concern.
You might as well get a slightly larger drive, as 5400rpm 60GB and 80GB, depending on brand, are about the same price ($50-$60). 7200rpm version would be around $20 more. If you have a choice, people seem satisfied with Seagate and Hitachi. Avoid Toshiba. Installation of course on top of HD cost. You may not have as many HD choices at an Apple store versus using an Apple authorized service provider.
It may or may not be cheaper for you to buy the drive and take it to an authorized service provider for installation. Newegg at http://www.newegg.com and OWC at http://www.macsales.com are two good sources. You'd be looking for a 2.5" notebook drive, with a parallel ATA attachment, not serial ATA or SATA (drives are well marked in the descriptions). If you buy it yourself, regardless of who installs it, you'd get the manufacturer warranty, so, for example, Seagate has a 5 year warranty. If Apple sells and installs it, you get whatever Apple warranty provides.

Extender and networked hd recommendations needed

Hi all,
Looking for some recommendations. I'm using more and more devices at the far end of the house, away from the one cable connection coming into the modem (old house, and we rent, so not changing that). I have a 500g elderly seagate hooked up as a network drive to the time capsule, but just got a 2tb raid LaCie. What I'd like to do is to leave the LaCie in my office (NOT by the seagate and time capsule in the living room), and to, at the same time, repeat the wireless signal from the office back to the house's dead zone. I'm running a WPA secured network and would like to stick with tried and true (preferably apple) products.i have a MacBook In the office, but it's not always on. Need to run an Xbox, iPad, 2 iPhones, and MacBook off of this repeater (preferably on the inexpensive side). Does airport express fit the bill, or do you all have other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

An airport express will work as a repeater and the ethernet port still work.. but the range is not great. And wireless repeating halves the throughput at least and often worse.
If you cannot run ethernet which is fair enough in a rented place.. then try using EOP adapters. That gives you a link which is reliable and since it isn't wireless will not slow the connection at the other end. Then you can use an AEBS or even another TC in bridge and setup for roaming. This is easy and will give full speed at the other end plus give you 3 gigabit ports to attach stuff.

Recording Headset Recommendations Needed

Hi everyone:
I currently use Captivate to record CBT's, complete with
recorded audio. I have been using a Plantronics headset (very
similar to the Plantronics Audio 650 USB Multimedia Stereo Headset)
and while it has been a great headset, the quality of the
microphone is slowly fading away.
In my building, we have a significant amount of "white" noise
from the air system, causing a "buzzing" sound throughout the
building. While you cannot directly hear the buzzing, you can
distinctively hear when you stop a recording and start another
one-the recordings are not 100% quiet in the background so when
users play the CBT back, they can hear when the tutorial starts and
ends due to the background noise.
Does anyone have a headset they recommend with a good
background noise silencer that also records the voice in a clear
manner, avoiding the dreaded "p and b" sounds that sound so abrupt
in the microphone?
Thanks!

To avoid the 'pops' (like on b and p), you definitely want to
1) ensure
the microphone has a baffle (the little sponge surrounding
it) and to
move the microphone further away from your mouth. That may,
of course,
mean you will need to enunciate more clearly.
I use an old Logitech headset. I don't recall the model but
it works
well. I do have to run a couple short tests first to get the
mic setup a
proper distance and angle from my mouth (I usually have it
angled down
by my chin).
Most often, we just have a professional narrator do the
voiceovers then
integrate them separately, ensuring quality.
For your ambient room noise, not much you can do about that
regardless
of the mic. In fact, the higher-quality a mic, the more of
that noise it
may pick up!
So, best case, you find a room where you can shut off the air
ducts, or
one that doesn't have any air ducts.
But another interesting approach I think I saw mentioned here
was
someone who constructed a box insulated with packing foam
that they put
over their head! Sounds funny but with a large enough box,
perhaps
fitting over the monitor and yourself, you could probably
cancel out a
lot of the ambient noise.
Be sure to post a picture if you do that! ;-)

Java Book - Recommendations Needed.

Recommendations for a good BEGINNERS book please.

If you're completely new to programming then I'd suggest checking out some of the older books on first principles that they'll have available in your college library.
This kind of foundation will massively reduce the learning curve for any language.
Then hit the 2nd hand bookstores and find an earlier edition of one of the books mentioned above. All the marketing crap claiming that a new edition is completely updated is irrelevant to your needs. The core language has changed very little in about 6 years, (since the abortion that was the 1.0 event model was justifiably taken out behind the chemical sheds and shot), so anything 1.1 and onwards will suffice as long as you can get access to the errata pages on the web.
Of course, the best approach is simply to use the free resources on this and other sites because the programming manuals aren't overly useful to students entering the field for the first time. I say this because you'll probably be looking at two types of task:
1) Practical programming (probably so simplistic that you'll be able to solve with reference to the API docs)
2) Theoretical stuff (Better to look to academic books, trade journals, etc.)

Phone Recommendations Needed!

Hey everyone,
So, I'm looking for a new phone! I've got a Nokia 3330 which though long-wearing is starting to look super dated. I'm basically looking for advice from anyone here - I need any recommendations to have the following features;
1) Works with iSync - either it can be properly added as a device, or it is at least recognised as a phone and contacts can be synced,
2) Is a flipphone - because I like them,
3) Photo caller ID would be nice, but not essential,
Cameras/MP3/etc doesn't really bother me either way, especially if it affects the price. So, any takers?

Motorola E815 has all of the above, but it's probably already been replaced by something newer--I got mine about several months ago when it first came out. There is a list of phones that are Bluetooth enabled and Mac compatible someplace on the Apple site, but I've forgotten where. And the E815 is a Verizon version; different carriers, different phones.

Recommendations needed for PDA

Hi,
I wish to evaluate xMAM for Utilities 7.0 SR1. In that I specifically want to look at
1. GIS/GPS integration.
2. Push messages.
3. RFID capabilities.
Based on my understanding I have realised that I need a device which has
1. Windows Mobile 5.0 (Arcpad which is required for GIS is not supported on Windows Mobile 6.0)
2. GPS receiver
3. Minimum 64MB RAM (128 MB is desirable).
4. ARM/XScales/Samsung S3C processor.
5. Minimum 2GB flash memory.
I had shortlisted on the following series of devices
1. HP iPAQ hw6940/hw6945 Mobile Messenger
2. The Hp iPAQ rx5900
Please help me with the recommended devices/comments on the devices I mentioned above.
Helpful answers shall be rewarded.
Thanks in advance,
Nakul Rajurkar

Recommendations needed for portable hard drives

Looking for a recommendation for portable hard drives -
1. I'm buying a new 2TB portable hard drive to use with my iMac for my Time Machine backups.
2. Additionally, I am buying a second 2TB portable HD for the iMac for SuperDuper back ups (I'm adding a second layer of back up and bootable clone protection to my life).
3. Finally, I need to also purchase a 1TB portable HD for SuperDuper back ups for my MacBook Air.
I'd just as soon keep life simple and buy the same brand for all 3 drives. I want things easy.
(I have Mavericks on both computers and don't want to worry about Western Digital software inadvertently being installed without my knowing it, possible causing me to lose data on my computers. So maybe it would be simplest all around to avoid WD?)
Simple and easy and reliable - that's all I ask.

Information.
Best external hard drive?

Good physics engine recommendation needed.

Could anyone of you guys could recommend me some good (small and fast)
physics engine with functionality like 'traerAS3' (Traer.physics).
What I particularly need is object repulsion and problem
with 'treaerAS3' (https://github.com/sqrtof5/traerAS3) is that
it is converted from JAVA and it is not working well under AS30.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Dryer recommendation needed

Q: I need a recommendation for a cheap dryer (under $400) that has decent resell value.

There are plenty of good dryers for less then $400, I would look at Whirlpools, or Maytags. Unfortunately, in my experience, there is no such thing as decent resell value in any appliance. Once it's been used you would be lucky to get half of what you paid.

Recommendation needed on: Locking Down BW Client / Object Changeability:

Hello Experts,
We recently had a problem on our production box and we found the need to lock down the environment with scc4.
We further used object changeability to control the environment and it has been hell ever since. Users have had difficulties running queries, etc.
In a typical BW production environment, what is the approach and what is the common practice?
(Please for each recommended approach include any command you mention)
For example, what transaction do we use to see various users and their authorizations, etc. Who made modification on which object, etc.
Thanks.

Hi Amanda,
In SCC4, you should maintain following values.
Under
>Changes and transport for client specific objects
no changes allowed
under
>Cross client object changes
no changes to repository and cross client customizing
objects
Under
> Protection : Client copier and comparison tool
Protection level 1: NO OVERWRITING

Recommendation needed for VOIP phone and apple extreme

I have been with Packet 8 phones for a few years, but they say their phones have problems with Apple Extreme which I just bought.
So I need to change companies. Anyne have some good recommendations so I don't have to go through this again? Torture. thanks!

I'd like to "piggyback" on this question. I have the original "family share" plan, (almost 10 years now) I had the only smartphone going back to the Blackberry Curve when that was the "thing" many years ago, so I still have unlimited data on my Razr Maxx. I recently got my wife her first smartphone, with the 2GB plan, last month she used it mostly at home on wifi so she used 0GB my bill which includes a standard phone which was used by my daughter and I'll cancel to reduce my bill, which is now $183. As I look at the shared data plan for even 4GB, (I'm a pretty heavy user with no wifi at work) it would be $180 plus tax. Seems like I'm better off where I am canceling the odd phone will save me what $30 a month?
Less than I could get on any shared data plan that would cover my usage and her minimal data use. BTW, I have unlimited taxt, she has 250 for $5 a month that she never goes over, and we hvae 700 shared minutes which we haven't come near even when there were 3 of us calling. Any suggestions will be welcome!
thanks,
Joel
