i have an audiovox 8900 and a usb data cable. i was wondering if i would be able to use my phone and plugg it in to use it as a dial up internet. it is possable to do that? i have a free dial up account from school so i was just wondering if this would be possable.

Not sure, but I've heard that you can. Then again, I also heard it was possible with the 8910.

Since you have the cable, once you connect it (assuming you have the drivers installed), dial up networking should detect the phone as a modem.

Try dialing up your isp with it and see what happens.

Well, you did already start a new thread (look here).

Regarding the logo, which one do you mean? The one on the exterior LCD, the screensaver, or one on top of the wallpaper?
