HTC 3125 / Smartflip / 8500 (Star Trek)

I am purchasing the 3125 and wondering if there are mini-SD card compatibility issues with any of the brands of mini-SDs. The Qtek Manual says Secure Digital but I'm finding other brands at better prices.

This will be my first phone that uses external memory... I know some SD brands won't work with my Dell PDA.

Any gotchas I need to be aware of before buying a miniSD? e.g. I've found a Ritek Ridata 1GB 150X Pro III mini SD for $21.89.

THANKS!!! Great to find this forum!

When I first got the phone, pressing the Enter key from the Homescreen would bring up Comm Manager, which was very convenient. Now, pressing the Enter key does nothing. Any ideas on what I did? For that matter, is there a way to assign shortcuts to the navigation pad, as there are on most phones?

Thanks in advance...

Anyone know, can I just cut into the headphone cord and splice it into an auto cable? I want to use the phone as an MP3 player for my car also...Anyone know, or does that auto cable have more connected to it that goes into the controller that is on the cord?

Does the 3125 contain any mapping software which will tell the location for directions, etc? GPS or A-GPS?

I'm trying to decide between the Sony 810i and the HTC 3125?

can anyone tell be what E at the top of the screen means. its not one of the signed denoted in the back of the book.

I'm having a problem downloading my email (I onlyget the headers). curious if these two are related.

thanks

is there a way to have more than one calendar item displayed on the main page?

I'd like to see my calendar for the whole day.

if you can help pls email me at ralph.verrilli@vistagy.com as well as posting here as I don't read this all the time.

thanks

The guys a phone scoop dropped my last post thinking I was trying to advertise but that is not what this is.

If you don't mind being on a research panel, a company called IMMI pays $50 a month and gives you a 3125 phone for 2 years to be a panel member.

No one makes any money here, they just pay the monthly servie fee and the phone samples audio every few seconds for research companies.

You have to be in the right demographic area/age and so on to get the phone, but it's worth a try.

I got a 3125 this way and I have not had any problems with it.

Now phone scoop please let this fly. I am not affilated with them in any way other than using the phone. This could be a good deal for some people who like this phone.

Has anyone tried connecting a bluetooth keyboard to the 3125 smartphone? Typing using the keypad is just very painful.

Thanks!

If you want to see streaming video on your smartphone I suggest doind a search for streaming video in googoe or yahoo on your PC. Once you have it streaming in Media Player on your PC select FILE>PROPERTIES and copy the streaming video location and paste it into an email to your device and send it to your device. You can now click on the link from your text message inbox and the video stream will start on your device.

I hope that wasn't confusing. Just remember that your device is not broadband and some streams won't run as smoothly as they do on your home PC.

If anyone knows of any good webcams/streaming video sites please post them. Gotta love unlimited data on this device. I'm streaming all the time. I can't wait to see my data usa...

Please reply with any cool sites you know about that are cool for windows smartphones.

I did an experiment today with the Cingular 3125. I downloaded and installed "Bluecast" for my device. It is an app that claims to be able to stream all your handsets audio (mp3's streaming audio, etc) to a standard bluetooth headset. This is great cause I hate those stereo headsets. I tried it out and it works AWESOME!!! Well worth the $10 to get the full version. I also listen to streaming radio using mindows media player (www.thestreamcenter.com/pda). I wanted to see how long my battery would last streaming audio to my device and to my bluetooth headset. Starting on a fully charged headset and phone I was able to stream for a full 2 hours. This doesn't seem too bad considering the constant data stream and the constant bluetooth stream. I'...

How is the reception on this phone? I have an LG CU500 and the reception is great, but I miss having a smartphone and am considering this phone. Reception is the most important factor to me.

Thanks in advance.

Just curious. I am considering upgrading from my terrible V3 ASAP. I am torn between the 3125 and the 8125. I really like the feature set in the 8125, especially the built in WiFi, but I don't know if I want to pony up an additional $40 a month for the data service. The 3125 doesn't have WiFi, but the unlimited data plan is only an extra $20 a month. I guess it's going to come down to how well each handset handles internet browsing. Anyone able to offer any help?

W just got price tags in today on this one. It's going to be aprox $100 more than the 2125.

There are a lot of rumors about this phone being released by Cingular. I had a new phone credit coming up, and I want this phone, but I don't want to wait for a phone that isn't going to arrive. Anyone have any good information on when it's going up for sale through Cingular?

I was just on Cingular's website and they have it for $149.99 with a 2 year contract!

South Jersey and Pennsy.

Does anyone know if it will support this?

This should become an active topic I hope. The Slingbox is now compatible with Windows Mobile devices so you can watch your TV on your phone now. Heres the magic question...How does it look? I can see it looking very good on 3G devices but the Cingular 3125 is only EDGE. Has anyone used Slingbox on an edge Windows Mobile device? I think the Cingular 2125 or Audiovox 5600 would be perfect examples as they are EDGE and have the same processor as the Cingular 3125. How cool would it be to be able to watch ALL your channels that you see at home and even DVR if you have it, ALL ON YOUR CELL PHONE!!!
