Newbie needs best non-phone internet tablet

I'm on a quest for the "right" device for my needs which are primarily music and movie viewing but I want a good browsing experience with some texting. Every time I think I've found a great solution it turns out to be either 2 years old or so bleeding edge I can' get my hands on it for months. I'm here to ask about the N810 WiMax (or other) edition. It looks pretty darn good but it's already a dead item. Have I missed the current iteration of it? They can still be found. Would you buy one now given what else is out there?
I do not want iTouch or Zune (don't like that they are proprietary).
Found Creative Labs and liked their Vision Wide which has a huge screen but is as old or older than the N810. Their newest item XFi2 has a 3" screen which seems a bit small.
Also considering something from Archos. I was looking at their 5 v 7 and decided while the 7" was lovely it was too big. Then I noticed they JUST released a 5" tablet with Android. It looks pretty HOT... but it's so dang new I can't get one in time for an October 24th flight which is what prompted my wanting a tablet for movie viewing in flight.
I'm open to all input be it Nokia or other options. Thank you.

The iPhone works fine over cellular. You did mention a certificate - I am going to guess that this may be the issue.
If you open Safari on the iPhone and connect to your OWA, do you get a warning? When you viewed the cert in IE, is it self-signed? If so you need to get it on the iPhone. The easiest way is to set up gmail or something similar on iPhone and email it to yourself.
when it come in email your iPhone will immediately recognize it as a file that you can import it. Select it and import it, then you should be able to connect to your Outside Exchange server.

WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL CELL PHONE AND TABLET/ULTRABOOK/LAPTOP COMBO?

I’d like to see what everyone here thinks is the best CELL PHONE and TABLET/ULTRABOOK/LAPTOP combination to own this year now that the CES show is coming to a close. So post up what you think is the ideal combination from what has been announced. Maybe, just maybe, Best Buy will listen and insure they carry the products we want.
My vote goes to:
PHONE = Samsung Galaxy Note LTE (unlocked - carrier independent)
TABLET/ULTRABOOK/LAPTOP = Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 with Windows 8 and its’ IPS touch screen
(Posted this in the Cell Phone AND Tablet forums)

Blackberry 9810
efficient keyboard for quick access to functions. How many other phones have 26 quick keys to dial a number?
convenient one handed operation on the bus because it has a trackpad
great battery life with the slower processor
user replaceable battery. You can change a battery for the cost of a good dinner. Other phones have sealed batteries that force you to get a hair dry to rip the battery out. Basically they force you to get a new phone....SCAM
durability..... seen too many cracked Apple screens. Takes a lot of punishment without needing a THICK "bumper"
brightness.... notice how dim iPhone screens are on bus compared to other phones?
data compression.... doesn't rack up my data plan. Doesn't have Siri. Blackberry uses 1/3 or 1/6 the data compared to other phones. Very important, especially when travelling
BBM saves me money when texting with other international BBM users.
the 9810 sliding mechanism means the phone is compact when not used, but grows in size when needed
the 9810 keyboard does not shrink my viewing area when I'm typing
Blackberry Playbook
plays flash websites.... i got tired of Apple forcing websites to create an App to work (scam)
fits in my purse and pocket
dual speakers without a dock..... it's amazing the audio quality
stereo microphones
smart bezel where the frame is an added touchpad functionality
With the upcoming OS update next month, Blackberries can take remote control of the Playbook tablet.... HOT as the phone keyboard can be used as Playbook tablet keyboard and phone screen become a mouse!

I have Verizon FiOS service for phone, internet and TV but I only have one TV hooked up for it for just basic cable service with no DVR and no need for widgets. Can I use an Airport Extreme as my router and not use the FiOs router?

I want to use an Airport Extreme as my router. I currently have a Verizon FiOS router. I have Verizon for phone, internet and TV. However, TV-wise, I just have a basic service for one TV with just a regular box. No HD, no DVR. Don't need access to a menu, widgets, on-demand. Can I eliminate the FiOS Router and just use the Airport Extreme and still have phone and internet?

I know that it will increase my wireless coverage in my house but will it increase the speeds?
Not sure what you are asking here. The AirPort Extreme is only going to be as fast as the Internet connection that it receives.....which is 75/75. It cannot take a 75/75 connection and make it go any faster.
If you locate the AirPort Extreme in an area where you need more wireless signal coverage, the AirPort Extreme would deliver 75/75 in that area. But, keep in mind that the AirPort Extreme must connect to the FIOS router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
If you are asking if the AirPort Extreme can wirelessly connect to the FIOS modem router, and extend the FIOS wireless network, the AirPort Extreme would not be compatible with a FIOS product for that purpose.

I need a new phone and ipod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod only and not have to buy the internet data plan?

I need a new phone and iPod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod, without having to purchase the internet date plan?

You cannot do this. iPhones have to be activated with a service plan before any of the features, including the iPod features can be used.

I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features. Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!

Smart Phone Internet Charges

Does anybody else have this problem? I have a family of five. All of my kids are of the age to have cell phones and want and in some cases need the smart phones. My husband and I need the smart phones for work purposes. So, all of us are wanting the smart phones which means the higher monthly internet charges attached to EACH phone PER month! Our cell phone bill is about to put us in the poor house!! They (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc., etc.) keep coming out with better and better technology that helps us in and out of the office, in and away from home or school, don't you think it is about time that Verizon gets up to date with their plans?
I think it is about time that they come out with a plan to help larger families that have this many smart phones on one plan. GIVE US A DISCOUNT VERIZON!!!!! I don't want to go to another provider!! You say you're the best, and I believe it! I've heard about the other providers! Reward us for our dedication to you!
Does anybody else have this problem? Is so, let's flood them with comments, maybe in numbers we can get some change!

children dont NEED smartphones, if they do they are usually old enought to be working part time and can help with the bill
teaches them responsibility

if you need smart phones for work have work provide them

Can a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet link with a Sony E...

Can a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet link with a Sony Ericson K750i as a Modem?

Did a little more digging and found that quite few people have problems getting this phone to do dialup with anything other than a laptop and SEs own software.
reason is that SE use some funny command structure, instead of *99# they use *99***1#
The number 1 there is important, it is the internet profile to use for the dialup, there will probably be several settings in
Menu->Settings->Connectivity-> Internet Settings -> Internet Profiles ->
In the phone, and so the number will need to match the one that is configured for Internet access (and not Wap or MMS)
Also the N770 will need to be configured to send *99***x# (change the x to the number of the connection). I have never used the 770, but looking at the user guide you need to go to
Control panel > Control panel > Tools > Mobile operator setup wizard
Create a connection as described on page 27 of the user guide, the settings will be network operator dependent, but the key thing will be to configure the Dial-Up number to be *99***x#

Today I deleted a gmail account using my computer. I also added a new work gmail address. Now I want to sync my phone and tablet with the new email address. I've looked all over and can't find out how to do it.

Hi there T&P63385!
Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks,

Can non-Phone features be used w/o signing-up with a wireless plan?

Q1. Is signing-up for a wireless plan (with AT&T) a requirement for using non-Phone features such as Music, Video, Mail, Safari, Address Book, etc.?
I am not interested in the Phone feature, but am very much interested in using all the other features and using a Wi-Fi connection for Internet. Will I be able to use these non-Phone features without registering with AT&T (and paying $60/mth)?
Q2. Is USB 2.0 a minimum requirement, or can I sync with USB 1.1 (albeit at a very slow speed), since I have an old laptop that does not have USB 2.0?
Thanks,
Raj

Yes, the device will not operate without an AT&T service plan. You will not be able to use the iPod, iCal, etc. features without a plan. Even if you never intend to use the voice or EDGE data features.
From my direct experience, the device may or may not work with USB 1.1 ports. Of the 7 computers I've dealt with via a customer or in-person only 2 even recognized the iPhone and neither allowed a sync/activation.

Phone and Tablet versions are too small

When using a phone or tablet to view my website www.elrocco.com.au the pages are too small.
The desktop version is fine.
I use GoDaddy for domain management and forward to elrocco.businesscatalyst.com
When I use the url elrocco.businesscatalyst.com directly on the phone or tablet, everything is fine.
Is threre something I need to do on GoDaddy to ensure the phone and tablet versions display correctly?
Thanks in advance for you help.

It appears you were able to figure this out as the site looks just fine (and identical to the BC's system domain) when viewed through an iPhone.
Thanks,
Vinayak

How to change photo size settings on cell phones and tablets

I've worked in graphic design for many years, but I just encountered a new situation for me.
In the past, whenever I got photos from a digital camera or even a cell phone, the default pixel settings were more than sufficient to work with. For example, the default pixel settings on my digital camera are 4608x3456.
But in this situation, I'm getting photos from technicians who know nothing of computer graphics. I need to crop their photos to 640x480. But some of them are coming in smaller than that (one is 234x420).
I believe they are taking these photos with their cell phones or their tablets (but they could be using different brands).
So I've been asked to instruct them in how to take their photos so they come out big enough for us to crop to the appropriate size.
But I always thought that the defaults for all devices that take photos are pretty huge, like my own digital camera. I don't understand why any would come in so small, unless the techs tried to edit the photo themselves before sending it to us.
So is there a way to change the photo settings on smart phones and tablets? If so, is it pretty similar for different brands, or will I have to research and give instructions for every brand they have?
Or, do you agree that they might be trying to edit their photos themselves before sending them?

Best non-BT Router for BT Vision Use

Just a question thats been going through my head...
Was the best Non-BT Router (Not HomeHub etc...) for giving a decent connection for BT Vision use??
Im guessing it would have to support this QOS thingy..
has anyone had any positive experiences using a Non BT Router over a longish line while not getting any BT Vision C01/V04 Errors??
JC

same as above I have used both netgear and Dlink routers with bt vision without any problems and have used a netgear router configured as an Ethernet switch (asdl and dhcp turned off ) connected to the homehub to extend the number of ports available.
i am using a white homehub at the moment simply because i want to use the hub phone
