Recommendations for a Bluetooth iSynch-capable cell phone Not Motorola

Hi all,
I am in the market for a new phone that willl enable me to interact with iCal and Address Book. I have always hated the Motorola menu systems, currently have a Sony Ericcson Z500, and had great success a long time ago with Nokias in the Wintel environment. I really want something that allows me to use whichever device (phone, MBP) is appropriate in the moment, without risk of screwing up the synching, etc. I'm betting there's tons of experience on this list, and I'm confident that you people will send me loads of advice and tips, all gratefully recieved!
Best regards, and thanks in advance!
2GHz MacBook Pro, 2Gb RAM, 100GbHD & 800Mhz G4 iMac 512Mb Mac OS X (10.4.8) WinXP SP2

upto a few weeks ago i would have also recomended a new sony phone however if you do a search here for M600i one of the new phones you will find that it does not work with Isync and there is confusion as to if it ever will, before considering a new sony please check if you can sync it first otherwise it could be a very expensive mistake,
i have heared good things about teh nokia phones but i have never used one - but agree anything but Motorola,
hope this helps

Recommendations for a Bluetooth/wireless mouse that is not a MIghty Mouse

I'm tired of having problems with my Bluetooth mighty mouse, and want to know what other people are using for a Bluetooth or wireless mouse. IMO, the trackball on the Mighty Mouse is a major design flaw, that is easily clogged with dirt or dust, and the frequent cleaning is either time consuming, or not very effective. I've tried pretty much everything ever suggested in these forums to fix the Mighty Mouse, and I'm to the point where I'd just rather something else, preferably a traditional two-button design, with a scroll wheel.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I give the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 five stars. Yeah, I know, how can MM from Apple be so bad, and anything from MS be great. The 8000 is a full 5-button mouse, 4-way scrolling, programmable, rechargeable, bluetooth mouse. Pairs easily with the bluetooth on my iBook or iMac. You can find it for around $60, but get this. You don't need the BT dongle, so sell it on eBay and recover your $60.
Microsoft doesn't officially support the 8000 on Mac, but Mac drivers come on the CD. You install the CD drivers, then download Intellipoint 6.1 and install only the mouse for full functionality.

I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business. I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time. How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone. The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted. This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.

How do I get pictures from my cell phone (not an Iphone) on to my ipad mini?

Is there any way to get ohotos from my cell phone (not an iphone:() on to my ipad?

Best way would be to transfer your photos from your non Apple phone to the computer you normally sync your iPad to. Then organize the photos on your computer and sync them to your iPad.
If there are only a few photos your could email them to yourself.

Recommendations for a bluetooth mouse?

Hello,
I've been looking for a Bluetooth mouse for a few weeks now to go along with my Macbook and after coming on here and reading some of the troubles that come along with them, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? I've never used an Apple mouse before, never really understood how the one click deal without the "right-click" worked, so i've been looking at other brands mostly. Would you even recommend the Bluetooth mice as opposed to a wireless one with a USB connector? Thanks!

I have the original wireless mouse (one "button") and a Logitech MX 1000 which is not Bluetooth but uses it's own wireless connection to a USB base station. The separate base station probably leaves this out of what you would be interested in for a laptop. However, my comments:
Both Mice work reliably and are accurate pointing devices. The original mouse uses the red laser. The Logitech mouse uses an infrared laser so its working is not obvious from the light of the mouse, although there is a combination activity/battery level LED that let's you know its working.
The Apple mouse is small, about the size of a bar of soap. The Logitech is a large lumpy affair that is molded to the shape of your right hand and fills it up. Some hate the small size of the Apple mouse. Some hate the large size of the Logitech mouse.
The apple mouse has one "button" (no discernable button, but you push on it and it clicks). The Logitech mouse has two buttons on top, a rocker button (3 switches) under the thumb, a scroll wheel, and a 4 way button run around the scroll where for a whopping 9 buttons plus wheel up/down/button of control.
The Apple mouse runs 2 to 3 months before needing to swap its 2 AA batteries. The Logitech mouse recharges itself in its cradle, which it needs about every 2 or 3 weeks depending on use.
My opinion is that mouse choices are very personal things. Some would pick solely on size/confort. Both are reliable. For gaming one-button mouse doesn't cut it, or leaves you at a severe disadvantage depending on the game. The infrared mice are more accurate based on product specs. The Apple mouse is an elegant lump of plastic sitting on your desk. The Logitech mouse is a big lump of Borg technology looking like a kid's toy sitting on your desk.
Hope that helps.

Best Compressor settings for HD720 16:9 to cell phone OTHER than iPhone?

Hey there,
Does anyone know a good set of compressor settings for exporting HD720 16:9 29.97fps to a cell phone compatible format other than iPhone? Do most cell phones use an MPEG format? I guess I should start there. New to this one.
Thank you,
ed

There are different MPEG flavours and compression for DVD, mobiles or web often means creating some flavour of MPEG file. Even H.264 is an MPEG file. One of the most advanced.
Go to Compressor settings and look for a folder named Mobile devices then do a bit of your DIY (test, test, test).

Tips For Choosing the Best Samsung Cell Phone Battery

It is difficult to imagine the world would be like if you do not use a mobile phone! We have become so dependent on the use of Samsung mobile phones, we will be panic, if we mistakenly forgot at home. The Samsung mobile phone is a key part of most people's lives, and get them up every minute of friends, family and business partners.
Taking into account a new Samsung mobile phone purchase, but also consider the Samsung mobile phone battery. Here are some suggestions to help.
More standby time and talk time, you should choose a Samsung cell phone battery with high capacity. However, when you select a high-capacity Samsung mobile phone battery, there will be a heavier weight. A bigger Samsung cell phone battery, cell phones can not enter the cell phone pocket, or protectors. If you plan to travel a lot with the phone, which could lead to a problem, your phone may not be easy to carry.
Select the Samsung cell phone battery, lower cost, and may not be the best choice, quality. Make sure you ask if you buy a new battery or refurbished one, which is a key issue! Tips to find a renovation is the incredibly cheap price. Refurbished batteries may have old parts, it may not work as effectively as a new battery.
Buy a new battery, you get a guarantee that if you have any questions? Remember, some just do not work, as long as expected. Usually Samsung phone manufacturers will provide a new battery only when it is purchased in a specified amount of time.

Hi Dave5252,
I know that with smartphones that are associated with carriers you must first "unlock" the phone to make it work with a different carrier. I don't know if this applies to your situation, but I have worked with Apple phones a lot, and this is always the case with them. So Bell, the people you least want to speak with, may have the answer for you. And if not, then hey! You don't have to talk to them!
Best,

Email issue - not downloading to Outlook and email on cell phone not working

Anyone know what is causing this? Not working since 1030AM today.
No verizon email downloading to MS Outlook and cant send out emails on my cell phone (Verizon network)? When will this be corrected?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, the issue resolved itself. This happens every once in a while and lasts for 30 min to an hour , then it works again. I get that strange error code message from Outlook Express with the 0x000 etc. No one knows why. Just one of those things you have to deal with. Next time i wont waste time calling and sitting on hold for hours and hours. Not worth it.

Recommendations for a Bluetooth trackball

I much prefer a trackball (scroll wheel, multiple buttons) to a mouse , but would like to get one that doesn't use up a USB port. Most of the wireless ones use a transmitter that goes in a USB port, so are no better than one that is hard wired. The Kensington Slimblade looked good, but several people complained about dirt getting in, with no way of cleaning it.
So, do any of you have positive recommendations?
Thanks

Recommendations for Bluetooth GPS for N95

Has anyone got any recommendations for a Bluetooth GPS receiver (to improve the dire performance of the inbuilt one) available in UK?

I bought the Nokia N95 8GB for its 'all in one device 'convenience.
I bought an external Bluetooth GPS, not because the inernal was no good, or not accurate enough but because I did not want to destroy it with vibration and rain, strapped to the handlebars of my Yamaha XT225
I want to create tracks (kml?)that map out the roads, lanes and footpaths of Cebu, Philippines using my Motorbike, in places the car could not go.
I decided on the Wintec G-Rays2 (WBT-201). This is more than just a Bluetooth GPS, as it has a 'logger' function also (collecting up to 131,072 waypoints). It is also much quicker at acquisition than the internal GPS (34 seconds or if data is still in memory 4-33 sec).
Even in a car, the WBT-201 G-Rays2 unit, can be positioned on the dash, whilst from anywhere in the car, the N95 receives the NMEA0183 format data stream giving position, speed, altitude and time, together with estimated error and satellite status.
'Sports Tracker' works very well with this for receiving the data stream 'live'. Once 'captured' it has many 'export' formats of the captured information. Test 'Tracks' of the same 'Route' using the internal GPS and another time the WBT-201, show the external unit to be more accurate. Having said that, the internal GPS is actually pretty good at capturing the same track.
The only real 'negative' of the WBT-201, is the 'TMXTool' software (for configuring the settings, on the go, rather than connected to a PC), is for PPC, and not S60. However the 'TimeMachineX' software is OK for 'Windows' use.

Driver for AnyData EM lll Dual and Dataremote cell phone modem

Where I can find driver and others things for AnyData EM lll Dual cell phone modem
and for the CDS-9060 from dataremote company?
thanks...

Hello:
The best place to look for instrument drivers for LabVIEW and CVI is www.ni.com/idnet. I have already done a few searches here and have not found anything for the AnyData EM 111 Dual modem or the Dataremote modem. You might also want to contact your device manufacturer. Sometimes they have developed drivers in various languages that they may be willing to share with you. Unfortunately National Instruments does not have any drivers specifically certified for these two particular devices.
Thank you for contacting us!

What cell phone/mp3 is compat. with my iTunes files

I need help in choosing a new cell phone/MP3 that is compatabile with iTunes downloads. Has anyone done this? None of the major carries claim to support iTunes.

I transfered an mp3 file via bluetooth, however the cell phone will not play the file unless it is stored on the memory of the phone. I recieved the file, but the cell phone prohibits me from playing the music or storing it. The phone manual says that files can be stored on a micro memory card. Where can micro memory card adaptors or file exchange chords for micro memory be found? What is easier: (1) to install a cell phone compatible music player on my computer or (2) look for a way to install it to a mirco memory card. any suggestions?

Cannot send jpeg pictures to my Motorola cell phone

I cannot seem to get my MacBook Pro to send jpeg pictures to my cell phone (Verizon/Motorola). I can send jpeg pictures from the phone to the computer. When I attempts to send the file to the phone, all things connect and the phone asks if I want to accept the file, then the MacBook delivers a message: cannot send file: Internal Error. Any ideas???

FYI: I figured it out. The jpeg files were too large to send to the phone. Exporting pictures from iPhoto (file>export) allows you to select a file type (jpeg for phone) an image quality, and a picture size. Once the photo is exported, bluetooth can send it to the phone without problems.
