It will be next year before they release the proper version. When droid came out people found out flash did not work on it so adobe began working on an updated version to make it work. Except that you needed a newer version of the OS for the phone, which would not be availabe for another two months or so. |

Download Bitpim, see if it will install, if it does see if it detects the phone or if you can enter the model number. I've ****ed around with trying to get past Verizon's software limitations since there has been a Verizon. First phone I was able to hack Brew's seem to allow outside access to the ringtone folders was the first RAZR. Wasn't easy to do having to download Motorola Phone Tools from a French site and the pre- seem hacked phone's operating system from Germany. Finding all this stuff took a couple days of research. -- Live Fast, Die Young and Leave a Pretty Corpse |

You're right when you say that it sometimes takes a couple of days to find out how to do it and accumulate the right software, but it can generally be done. As for the Motorola RAZR, when I got one, it actually came boxed with a Phone Tools CD, complete with USB drivers. -- "En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no hace mucho tiempo que vivĂ*a un hidalgo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocĂ*n flaco y galgo corredor." -Cervantes, 'Don Quixote' |

I meant the factory service tools that the Verizon outlets used to upgrade the software. It's not called Phone tools and i can't remember the name but it was from Motorola. Maybe called Motorola PRS or something like that. Unfortunately it's not on my storage server these days. -- Live Fast, Die Young and Leave a Pretty Corpse |

I must have used it (or something similar) to de-brand, unlock and flash the firmware on the RAZR (or some combination of any two of the three). > Maybe called Motorola PRS or > something like that. Unfortunately it's not on my storage server these > days. Just out of curiosity, I might take a rummage round the intawebz to see if I can find it. Not that I need it. :-) I just realised- the RAZR is sitting right in front of me, under a messy pile of DVDs and CDs. -- "En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no hace mucho tiempo que vivĂ*a un hidalgo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocĂ*n flaco y galgo corredor." -Cervantes, 'Don Quixote' |

I bought an LG eNV3 for my son. qwerty flip open keyboard, has an 8 GB mini-SD card in it (I bought that) and you can make your own video and audio folders on the SD, then transfer via computer to mini reader. But you may have screwed yourself with this phone backing out of the contract so you can get a phone you like. -- Live Fast, Die Young and Leave a Pretty Corpse |

The EnV3 has the best camera for a low cost texting phone I've ever used. 3.1 megapix. Lots of modes to use for your shots. I don't text much but when I do I like the clamshell keyboard. Plus it's got a 2.5" screen and a lot of bells and whistles. I paid around $29 for mine with a 2 year contract. -- Live Fast, Die Young and Leave a Pretty Corpse |

That appears to rule out the Samsung ( Same ****, > different day ). Why is your selection limited? I don't blame you for not wanting internet but 250 messages/mo is only 5 bucks. And if you text another Verizon phone it doesn't count against the balance. Might as well have it hell you want a freaking laptop in your dashboard! Back to the question, why the limitation in choice. -- Live Fast, Die Young and Leave a Pretty Corpse |
