So, why no droid type phones without a camera?

So, now we are into year four of my asking why VZW does not want to capture a decent market share and start offering a droid-style phone without a camera?
Like many people working in certain fields, I like having the features of a smartphone, but I am stuck with a Blackberry because I can not have a camera.
Now, before some genius starts up with how to modify a smartphone- the requirement is to not have a camera; not a disabled or removed camera, a phone made without a camera.
Yes, there is a large population of people that would love any smartphone other than a BB- IF they could find one without a camera. We are talking 4000 plus just where I work, several thousand more down the road.
I have worked in a manufacturing environment before too- a line that does not install a camera, uses a solid cover plate, and loads operating software without camera apps is not a huge task to set up, especially when you consider the DoD, Scientific, Trade, Medical, Mental Health, Research, Legal, Law Enforcement, and Education workers that can not have camera-phones.
On the same subject, why have all non-camera phones (not just smartphones, but all) been removed from my local Verizon store? It is in a location where several facilities that forbid camera phones could be hit with a thrown rock- do you just dislike your store workers that bad?

Try to take this without being upset. Who asked for your opinion?
RIM does make a non-camera Blackberry, several other companies make non-camera phones.
There is a fairly large market of people that work in areas where it is a JOB LOSING OFFENSE to have a camera phone.
You knowing "..plenty of people in the field..." is so much nightsoil of the male bovine. The people I work with would rather not lose their jobs (as about six [new] people did last year).
I don't see you as a VZW employee on your profile- if you are, I pity them for hiring someone who just makes uninformed comments. I don't need opinions from the peanut gallery; I want a direct and straightforward answer from verizon.

C-6 Type phone without touchscreen features

Dear Sir,
I am a big fan of nokia E-series. I would like nokia to come up with 2 innovative aspects in the phone:-
1. screen size like nokia C-6 & slider open qwerty keyboard but without touchscreen because mass indian users still don't find touchscreen very confortable & in addition, assume fear of reliability, longetivity of touchscreen features phones.
2. motion sensor features to play motion sensor games.
Thanks

Hi,
I think it would be good idea to post your issue to here: PC Suite threads.
That forum is about PC Suite. There may be folks that have further experiences around your challenge.

Can i get a iPhone build without a camera

I work in a place where i can have a cell phone but it can not have a camera build it. I know that other brand phones come with options to have special build without a camera. Can the iPhone be build special order to not have a camera???

Docal97 its not that he don't wanna use the camera as if he didn't he could just not use the camera. Some jobs such alot of government jobs have Classified/Top Secret stuff they don't want you to take pictures of.. So no camera's allowed...
But instead of paying $99 to have a company take out the camera and therefore Voiding your phones warranty or scratching the camera lens therefore making the camera useless and/or voiding your warranty why not just do this simple alternative.
Buy a iPhone and use when not at work. Then buy a cheap second phone without a camera to use when at work then just swap SIM Card between phones.

If my phone be stolen the stealer can turn off the phone without security code. Why?

If my phone be stolen the stealer can turn off the phone without security code. Why?

Because that's the way it is designed. If you don't like it, don't purchase an iPhone, or tell Apple you don't like it:

EVO or HD2 type phone for VZW

when is verizon and htc going to come out with a EVO or HD2 type phone for verizon, because the droid and droid incredible (verizons "best" phone available) is not the incredible compared to those. were getting TRUCKED as verizon users now in comparison

yes...it happens with vzn. and yes....some sprint customers get great coverage. however, it's a fact that vzn has the best coverage....hands down. both of those phones are cool. but at the end of april, the incredible was THE BEST. like crystal said, with technology the way it is, just wait 2 months and EVO users will be asking why sprint doesn't have this or that. the incredible was the best when it came out (and the moto droid was the best when it came out).....and a better phone came out later. there is a device war going on this summer and you should keep in mind that vzn still has AT LEAST 2 droids to unveil this year. now i don't know what the other carriers have lined up, but i suspect that from now on all of the carriers will be periodically putting out new phones....and they will each get to have the "latest and greatest" for a few months (or weeks). i'd love a front facing cam, but not at the expense of my coverage.
if you are really thinking of going elsewhere, just test out your friends phones when you are in areas that you use the phone most often. if your happy with the coverage, then cool. i'm in the desert and can't tell you how many times i have to lend my buddies with iphones my phone to use. sprint seems a bit better though.

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

Can I use an Android phone without a data plan?

Please read all of this before responding. You will not be helping when you show a clear misunderstanding of my question.
I do not need a data plan. Everywhere I go has Wi-Fi, and I am perfectly content to not have internet connectivity in the event that I don't have Wi-Fi. What I want to know is if I can buy a phone from a store (not from Verizon or a contract renewal) and replace my current phone with it without needing a data plan. There is NO software/hardware reason why I couldn't, and the only reason I would need to is as a Verizon requirement.
As an additional question, if Verizon doesn't allow it, is there any workaround?
I want an android phone not to have ubiquitous connection to social media. I want an android phone to have platform to run software on in addition to making/receiving calls and text messages. I would not utilize a data plan and it would be a waste of money.
Additional info:
Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data? There's no hardware or software reason why I need a data plan, and there IS a point to having a smart phone without a data plan: Wi-Fi. I don't need to have redundant internet access. The only reason conceivable for why I'd need a data plan is because Verizon wants more money for no additional service (I wouldn't USE connectivity provided by a data plan). I don't want to have a mobile platform for running software and a phone filling my pockets, I'd like it to be in one. All the connectivity I need is for calls and text messaging.

I stand corrected!
Here's an article on the subject with a good discussion and a somewhat dodgy suggestion for non-Verizon service: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57555091-94/can-you-ditch-your-smartphone-data-plan-for-wi-fi/.
Here's a discussion on a T-Mobile forum laying out the options (as of last November): http://support.t-mobile.com/message/198200. It sounds like it would meet one of the OP's desires: "Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data?" Not on Verizon, but probably on T-Mobile.

How to Transfer vids to Phone without Bluetooth or Connector?? Don't tell me to go buy a connector and don't ask me why not. I just want to know how to do it without those two.

Vids, i suppose you mean videos....anyway, there is a way to copy files (menu->applications->home media) from pc through wifi connection by sharing your media files from your computer on the network and sharing center (Win Vista). If you want to transfer files that are not media (mp3,mp4 etc.) like .sis files then you need to change the extension in a media one (xxxx.sis.mp3) and after copying it, delete that extension you placed in the end of the file.
What i would want to know is if there's a way to copy files from the phone to PC via wifi ... !? like making your phone a workgroup computer in the network.
You didn't write what phone you have but you can set up a VPN connection for Intranet on some devices. It's not a simple task though.

HT1414 why wont iphone4 download ios6 without saying the software was corrupted during download

why wont iphone4 download ios6 without saying the software was corrupted during download what do i do n how do i resolve this i jus need an update as it is on ios4 still and *****

im having the same problem. i talked to a friend of mine who is basically a genuis and he said it probably is Apple's server...that so many people are updating and its causing this. i havent found a true answer yet, i tried to call apple support, but that was hopeless. i thought maybe restoring my phone or something, but i dont want to do that and then realize that if i waited til tomorrow or so that i didnt have to. but im stuck just like you guys!

Today my daughter could download 2 aps on her phone without my permission. We are part of family share and her settings show that she needs my permission to download anything.

Today my daughter could download 2 apps on her phone without my permission. We are part of family share and her settings show that she needs my permission to download everything. How could she download the apps if I did not giver her permission. I thought that was the point of family sharing in the cloud.

Yes, Family sharing is almost not useable this way. Once you activate it you won't be able to load some of the best/essential apps even though they are free. But they are blocked by the Patriarch of the Family. :-(...
I do not understand why this issue does not get bigger Attention? Does noone use familiy sharing yet? Or do they activate it right after they have loaded all those essential apps beforehand?

Why was my question deleted without being answered? Broken screen want to erase internal memory

Why was my question deleted without being answered? I thought this was a help board.
my droid razr's screen is broken and not responsive. I want to delete the internal memory, passwords, pictures, ect before sending it back to verison in exchange for the warranty replacement.
Thanks

Hi mountain444!
Sorry to learn of the fate of your RAZR. No worries, I can help you erase the device. You would simply do a master reset. I know you can't see the screen, and this is why there is a Preferred Method for this, as well as an Alternate Method. Please follow the steps for the Alternate Method listed below. Thanks!

Why all the ugly upper case? You do realise that NO programming standard, ranging from Java and .Net, to C/C++ and Ada (of which PL/SQL is an implementation of), use upper-case-for-reserved-words as a standard.
The easiest and simplest way to address your requirement is as follows:

WHY DOES MY i PHONE CRASH iTUNES

Why does my I phone Crash I tunes

Alright so mostlikely its going to be 2 things, Either the Apple mobile Device Service, or the Driver that is installed..
Disconnect phone- close iTunes
If you open up your services program - WIndows 7 = Click Start , Type Services, click the gear icon that says services, Locate apple mobile device service -click on it, then click stop service on the left side of the screen, then wait 20 seconds, now click Start service.
Reopen itunes - Reconnect phone - does it work? if not its gonna be the driver.
You will want to open up device manager - Click start - Right click on my computer -click properties - Click hardware tab -click device manager -Check under Universal Serial Bus controllers, Imaging Devices, Portalble devices, and Human interfaces - for anything that says "Apple" iPhone" iPhone Recovery" anything along those lines.
If you locate it Right click on it - click update driver -
Select "Browse my computer for driver software."
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
Click the Have Disk button. Note: If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and then click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.
Click the Browse button and navigate toC:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Note: If using a 64-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7, navigate toC:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Double-click the "usbaapl"file. (This file will be called"usbaapl64"if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see" usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers instead).
Click Open in the Have Disk window. Then, click Next and then Click Finish. Windows will install the driver.

Powerbook 1400 bus error (with extensions) error type 10 (without ext.)

i have a powerbook 1400. bus error (with extensions) error type 10 (without extensions)
no cd. floppy is dead
the computer i put os 9 on it was a friend's 3400 witch is dead. i will see if i can get his hd.
there are no pc cards in the slots and it has os9 so removing all the ram possable including the factory ram (i only have 16 mb noram in the expansion slot eather) it will not boot. (sad mac)
the 1400 is my favorite computer
I only have a dead pb 165 (no video only sad mac sounds) and a dell (i dont like pcs so i really need to get the 1400 working) and the dell has a very bad keyboard. it likes to repeat keys alot
powerbook 1400cs/117 Mac OS 9.0.x i want a newer mac

macintosh lover
It isn't what you believe that you need in the Mac so much as what its ROM tells the 1400 that it should have. Its software is integrated with what the Mac 'thinks' of itself as being, whether you use video mirroring, HDD spindown, persistent RAM Disk or any other feature that applies to PBs rather than to DTs. Why handicap the machine by omitting parts of its persona? It will be less stable, be given to unpredictable episodes of petit mal, and be downright unreliable as a result, especially if it also lacks the physical parts of its person that you mention. That is why it needs a System for its kind of PowerBook.
Grant has outlined the best method of getting a handle on the PB, which will be much aided by its having a working HDD, a functional trackpad and so on.

Can I delete E-mails from my GMAIL account on my Verizon Phone without deleting them at the samem time from my computer?

I use GMAIL for e-mailing. Can I delete gmail messages from my Verizon Phone WITHOUT having them deleted from my computer at the same time?

you can do it, but how to do it depends on how you have email set up on your pc and on your phone, and what type of phone you have. for example, i use outlook on my pc for all of my email accounts. i have it set in the options to leave a copy of the email on the server when i delete an email. i also have an option on my phone the is NOT checked, that says "delete mail on server." this way, i can delete emails from the pc or the phone, and they stay on the server and the other device. to delete them from both, i have to actually delete them myself from both, the pc and my phone. different email clients and different phones are set up a bit differently, but they should all have some variations of a setting to leave a copy on the server after deleting it on the respective device.
edit: one other box i left unchecked on my phone is "sync deleted item from server" (this also removes messages from the phone when deleted from the server, the next time it syncs).

So, why no droid type phones without a camera?
