Does AvantGo work on this phone?

If you get an unlocked version of this phone, it looks like it should run fine on Cingular. Is that a fair statement?]]>Apr 19th 2006 3:34PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/nice phone]]>Apr 19th 2006 4:32PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/I got mine from T-Mobile when it first hit the streets.

I should work if unlocked with cingular or other GSM carriers just fine.

The problem is when I plug it into my HP notebook with USB all wifi devices in my network (802.11b/g) disconnect. This goes on until I disconnect it (USB) and reboot my pc.

I say this issue in the review of the phone on the Wallstreet Journal and they mentioned it too.

Cummon guys fix this please!

The phone could use a faster CPU too.

Other then that best smart phone I have owned. Much better as phone then my now broken Treo 600 (GSM).

The buttons aren't a big problem for me - and I've got fairly big fingers. I dunno if years of gaming and typing have helped, but I find most of my mistakes with the keypad are my own fault. The media center buttons do become annoying, and I think they would be much better at half that size. But what can I say? That's not gonna change in firmware, though you can reprogram them (MoDaCo forums have the info).

The screen is great, too.]]>Apr 19th 2006 5:15PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/

Also, do you need to overclock the CPU for Skype to work?

I'd also love to hear experience with these phones and the Missing Sync alpha. OR you could do what Guy Kawasaki has done, and dual boot into Windows. (Kludgy solution, and requires an Intel Mac!)]]>Apr 20th 2006 8:46AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/
I knocked it accidentially off of a desk and the headset speaker stopped working. Later that week, dropped on sidewalk and outer case split in 2.

No way near the build durability of a SE or Nokia handset.]]>Apr 20th 2006 2:48PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/Apr 20th 2006 6:13PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/
For those Mac users, instead of waiting for MssingSnyc or whoever else, I've gone with 4smartphone.net which is an exchange server service. I pay about $80/year ($6.50/month) to have a syncing service. I love it. My Powerbook and 2125 are always communicating. I love it.

The buttons of the 2125 are a little better than the TMO version, FWIW.]]>Apr 22nd 2006 11:13AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/
My Workaround:

If you want use your USB port to charge the phone.

I uninstalled the network adapter when the phone was plugged in via USB. When Windows prompts that it has Detected New Hardware, select Cancel and you can charge the phone with the device not being installed.

For Synching:

Buy a $20 USB Bluetooth Adapter. It is a serial connection and allows you to simultaneously use 802.11x on your computer and allow your phone to access the internet via the synch.

Works very well... the only problem that i had is that the wifi would turn off automatically after some time when talking .... Can solve 2 ways - change your wifi settings so it doesnt turn on (edit profile) or move the cursor once in a while when talking.
Yes Skype requires overclocking the processor. - I dont see any change in how the phone operates and neither did anybody in online forums. Plus the processor is only running at 240 Mhz WHEN Skype is on, then restores back to normal.

ONLINE TV RADIO: IT will play any Windows Media Streaming file (audio or video) Just browse to it and click. Im not sure that you can find any cable channels online...(maybe you can stream your own) - i watch foreign channels. But for radio - internet is the place to be. I listen to di.fm and sky.fm etc radios - they have many channels.]]>Apr 24th 2006 5:56PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/
Now on my second phone the joystick is starting to act up! Very discouraging. In addition the head gear that came with the phone did not last long. And finally I really miss the Treo/Palm Calandar function. I also wish I could contol the home screen more.

On the other hand, the speaker phone function is great. Size is great. In terms of dropping the phone I find it very durable. WIFI works well. Predicive text is also very good.]]>Jun 26th 2006 2:03PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/But learned to use now..especially wifi internet and started loving it
Would be great if the device's folder would be shown up as a usb drive in My Computer
Anybody got software that can do that?]]>Jan 11th 2007 8:56PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/Jan 19th 2007 8:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/
The camera is abysmal and the video is nearly worthless. Don't let the 1.3 megapixel spec fool you! It only means you get larger lousy images. VERY s-l-o-w exposure (blur), wash out and JPEG artifacts abound. Utilitarian at best.

Absolutely no reason for the media keys for all the reasons mentioned in other comments and the review.

I've never noticed the Wi-Fi capability do anything 'cept drain the battery at an alarming rate ... Then, I've got a data plan so I suppose one could surf the Net and such using Wi-Fi at a free hot spot. It's definitely not a "blazing" fast experience.

The Email functions do work well and much better than my previous "smart phone" ever did. The Web Browser is OK, too. I get good use out of the device, but it's only after having tackled the SDA/WM5 agility course required.

If I had several hundred dollars to blow and a much better choice I'd get a new phone and not look back.

PS: Wow, I sound so harsh ... I guess it's all the great/glowing reviews I've read that leave me thinking this thing is definitely Not All That. ]]>Jul 23rd 2007 5:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/19/t-mobiles-sda-reviewed/
