Safely Remove Hardware???
My wife and I both have new ZINE's and I am having all kinds of problems getting them to interface smoothly with my PC. The most irritating is that I'm able to plug each one in, download the pictures no problem, but I do not get a 'remove hardware' icon in the quick launch bar. This problem is typical on BOTH phones. I've simply resorted to shutting the computer down and then unplugging the phone, hoping this doesn't screw them up.
Does anyone have any guesses where I might be going wrong?
I have the same problem. I looked all over the place for that little icon, and couldn't find it. Finally, I just figured I'd go for it and unplug the device without shutting anything down. All my pictures were safely saved on the computer, and there w...

Sorry about the battery door, but you do get used to it.
Shame the site got closed, I would have liked to say we will do better next time.

WiFi How Too?
So I got my new phone took awhile to get my preexisting MyFaves to work. Support people had to change the names and re-sync. Then they finally loaded and all I had to do was change the names back.
Now the WiFi!
It picks up my home signal just great! But, how do I access the internet without it costing me. Can this be done? On one of the reviews here someone else stated they had done it. Also can you download your pictures to your home computer over the WiFi. I had to tell the salesperson that it is supposedly possible. He thought the WiFi was only for Web to Go.
Thanks
It seems you've gotten pretty far in the process, but for those that haven't, I'll explain the whole thing here.
Assuming you haven't rearranged your menus, go to Settings => 1. Wi-Fi => Wi-Fi Power On.
After Wi-Fi has been turned on, go Back to...

Flash player
Is there any way to get flash player on the ZINE?
Without it, for me at least, I can only watch youtube, and there are way more sites than youtube that I would rather watch.
Thanks for any help!

ZN5 Extra Capacity Battery
Anyone know if ZN5 can take the Motorola BX80 Extra Capacity Battery? At present, it takes the BX50. RAZR2 V8 also takes BX50 and BX80 with larger capacity door.
Thanks
I'm quite sure you can but if it needs a bigger battery door how will it fit inside the Zine without a extended battery door they dont make? Thats the only problem I see.. I've done with nokias and it does not mess up phone but you wont have a back do...

ok
Sweet camera same old slow Motorola OS.
plus it's only on EDGE. How friggin long is it going to take to send a picture message with a photo from a 5mp camera without 3G?
SLVR look alike
..and I like it!
I pretty much want this phone. 🤤
Carrier
Okay, So who do you think will get this phone? Do you think it will be offered in the states? I'm thinking Cingular... They always have the best camera phones.... Wishing Tmobile would step it up anyday now!
It would seem like AT&T. But, that's just my hunch. T-Mobile doesn't ever seem to get cool phones like these.
AT&T would probably rather it have 3G. AT&T also doesn't seem to be terribly interested high-megapixel camera phones.
Them again, no US carriers seem interested in high-megapixel camera phones... unfortunately. ☹️
