Audiovox SMT 5600 / SPV C500 (HTC Typhoon)

I'm looking for some advice on what mapping software to purchase for use on my SMT 5600 smartphone. I've ordered the bluetooth GPS rcvr already, but not sure on the software. Anybody have any thoughts on this, or using software they love (or hate)? I will be using this set-up mostly for "on the fly" driving directions to locations around the State of Michigan. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on this phone and switching from Verizon to Cingular (mainly because of this hardware). I played with it the other day at my local Cingular outlet, and really liked the way it felt & operated.

One issue that's real important to me is the ability to use the phone as a modem for my PC. It's not frequently needed, but when I have downtime in an airport (one that doesn't have free wireless), or get stuck in some hotel that doesn't provide service, my phone must be my link with my PC to email, etc. I don't want to do email on the phone - I need to use it as a modem for my notebook PC.

I've searched thru this forum, and there was one or two refernces to doing this, but I need to be sure. Can it act a...

how do i make the phone discover the bluetooth headset? i have the headset that matched the motorola V600. is that headset compatible for this phone? thanks

I just got a 512MB mini-SD card for my SMT5600 because I can't getting the low-memory alerts. When I synch to my Outlook, it just absolutely clogs up all the memory. Does anyone know if the Outlook Inbox can be directed to the storage card and NOT the internal memory? Thx.

Has any one got a good car charger for their 5600? I brought one online but when it came it was label MPX200. I plug it in and it didn't charge. Any help would be appreicated.

anyone found any good themes for this phone..i've tried a few 'trial' themes and they didn't really impress me. That and any picture I take really dosen't look that good with the ui over it...any thoughts would be apreciated.

I just bought my phone yesterday. Overall, very pleased with functionality...

Two questions, your help is appreciated:

1) I've paired by phone with a BT headset (Motorola). It works great, as long as I set the phone's BT setting to "ON" or "DISCOVER". Do I have to have BT on to get the wireless headset to work? I'm wondering of there is a way to program a hotkey or shortcut to enable BT on the phone, so I don't have to go through the multiple keys to enable BT everytime I want to use the wireless headset.

2) When I open Internet Explorer, everything works fine. I get a small icon in the upper-right corner of the screen (where the signal strength is) that also shows a small letter "g". The manual says the "g" means that the GPRS sess...

How do you send a contact, picture, etc. via bluetooth? For instance, when viewing the picture there is a send option. Within the send option there is MMS, email, and beam. Shouldn't bluetooth be an option in there? Similarly, when viewing a contact there is only an option to beam a contact, not to send via bluetooth. I used to have the Sony Ericsson T616 and these bluetooth options were very easy to perform.

Anyone know if there's a way to put this into airplane mode? I don't think the whole FAA/FCC relaxing thing is going to be done with by this August when I'm flying to Washington, so I'd really like to use the mp3 player in my phone.

Does the Pocket Outlook support a calendar, contacts, notes, and tasks as the regular Outlook does?

I just got an SMT5600 as a replacement for an MPX220 and think it is great. One thing that is driving me crazy though is the flashing LED. Is there any setting or registry edit I can use to stop it?

thanks
Spencer

The phone is great. I paid my 38 to have it unlocked. I would like to get the internet functioning. If i can't get it working then I have 30 days to return the phone to AT&T and I am just out my $38 for unlocking it. I think we can find the right settings... Your help and knowledge would be appreciated.

Thanks Mike Cunningham

How do use the alarm on this phone? I can't seem to find it and no longer have manual. Thanks

I've seen posts verifying that the 512Mb mini SD cards work with the 5600. I'm tempted by the 1Gb. Has anyone tried it?

im trying to get my bluetooth to work but it doesnt seem to work. i can recieve files from my friends mpx 220..but i cant send. i go to what ever it is that i want to send and click send but the only options i get are "email" and "beam" the file sends just fine via beam and via email but how the hell do i send it via bluetooth? i have my bluetooth set on "on" can someone please help?

I just got an unlocked 5600, and it works fantastic, except that I can't figure out how to enter punctuation. On my other phones, when I would cycle through text entry modes (abc, 123, T9, etc), one mode would be punctuation, but that doesn't seem to the case on the 5600. So how do I enter punctuation?

Thanks,
Erick

So I ordered my Audiovox SMT5600 from Cingular and am receiving it in the mail tomorrow morning and I was wondering a few things about the internet on the phone. I had the Motorola MPx220 before and I know that the phone has a full HTML browser and all of that good stuff but I was wondering about pricing.

From Cingular you have to get the Unlimited PDA data package for $40 a month for all PDA/Smartphones to get internet access, but I was wondering if you could get the $20 Unlimited MEdiaNet package and have it work. I work for Cingular and from all the data meetings I've went to they've told me no, but I don't see why it won't work. Has anyone tried this or is anyone doing it now? I'd much rather pay $20 a month then $40 for the same thi...
