While the motorlola and many other phones can sync with iSync, you need missingsync for windowsmobile/smartphone. PS- file transfer over bluetooth is faster than on other devices I have! |

| "If one thing didn't work quite right, I might call it a bug - However, the software has some fatal flaws that suggest it was released prematurely. Using VC 1.6 with the Samsung Blackjack (SGH-i607) - SP 5.0 - has very limited functionality. No problems if the command is to show a contact or start a program; however, any command that requires the device to verbally respond (e.g., asking for the time, verifying next appointment, or dialing - where the device is supposed to ask for confirmation) simply doesn't work. Further, with two different bluetooth headsets (Moto HS820 and Jabra JX-10), pressing the headset button accomplishes nothing to activate the software. I used to use VC 1.5 on a PocketPC, so I have some experience with how it works (absent bluetooth) when things are running correctly. 1.6 SP just isn't there yet." |

Rename them the actual names of the station and throw them into a folder. Put the folder on your storage card and have windows media player on the BJ make a playlist out of it. Now you have all your favorite radio stations preset on your phone. Works flawlessly! Happy Turkey, Evan |

I now have the PDA connect unlimited plan and everything works fine. I was able to adjust my rate plan down about $20 a month by swithcing to a family talk plan so i have no additional expense for me at this point.

| I do have the smartphone unlimited working fine and I do not have a subscription to cingular video but I can access it fine and it will work if I pay a premium. All I said was is the premium included in the pda plan which cost more than $10/month more because for me to pay for the premium to have video with my smartphone plan its on $2.99/mo. |

Please clarify if possible. |

Ditch the Blackjack Startup & Shutdown Screens/Sounds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you find the startup and shutdwon screens on the Blackjack to be annoying, you can get rid of them with a registry change as folows: HKey_Local_Machine>system> -under system there are two entries: Shutdown and Startup -under each one you will find an entry named 1 -under 1 there is a value name of Dll -the default value for both entries is OemAnimationDll.dll -change the default value data of each of those files (startup and shutdown) to the word none (I suppose null would work also but I know the word none does for sure) -after changeing the value to none, back out to the main menu - wait a couple seconds and shut down and then restart, and you will find the annoying shutdown and startup screens and audio are gone. When you shut down, hold the on/off button down for the normal 2-3 three seconds and release. At that point when you normally would have seen the shutdown screen and audio, it appears that nothing is happening, but just be patient and wait the few seconds a shutdown normally takes and the screen will go blank as the unit powers off. On startup, you will immediately see the standard blue Windows Mobile Screen which will be there until the home screen comes up and loads. Just remember that it still takes the normal time to shutdown and startup. I guess all the startup and shutdwon OEM .dll files did was run in the foreground while the normal o/s functions ran in the background. |

If so, does that go into the GPRS - GPRS - Media Net settings where DNS is currently 0.0.0.0 or someplace else? 3) Anyone have a good navigation program that works on the BlackJack?

It seems the issue is that the sling player doesn't properly support the native resolution of the BlackJack's screen (320x240) (TriNe0 figured this out because I could see the video when TriNe0 pressed the menu button...). Here's what you need to do: 1. Launch sling mobile player but do not connect 2. click on Menu > Player Options > Encoding 3. Scroll down, and uncheck "auto resolution mode" 4. Change the video resolution to "160x120" 5. Hit OK...and you're set! The downside is that, unless you view in full screen, the size of the image is real small... But watching it in full screen should be fine... and hopefully the picture quality will improve if Sling can get this to work in 320x240... Tested and it does work and allow you to get a full screen ( a little blurry) but a bigger screen nonetheless. |

Call Carrier or log-in to your account on their website and make sure it shows you have either a MediaNet or Unlimited DATA account active... then, alas, you can go to settings/security.. and do a total reset of the phone.. many BJ's start showing the 3G video after you do that if they did not do it before. |
