Is there an easy way to send a txt to a number you don't want to save in your "People" (contacts)? And (tongue in cheek) does saving a phone number for a corporation in "People" make corporations people too? LOL Can I change the name of "People" to read "Contacts"? Do others have problems...

Thanks. Hoping to take my Excel and DB stuff and make some apps - and possibly through Wi-Fi I can control and monitor some machinery. For now I am trying to set up automated quoting as attachments for email (happy fathers day). Lots of possibilities but first some frustration at unmet...

You are correct about missing the keyboard. One problem when purchasing these phones from a store like Sprint is the tech person bypasses setting up the keyboard - and this is a big disservice on their part. I went back and did this and it helped a bit. Thanks for letting me rant - I guess...

I paid for it I get to rant about the shortcomings. If complaining is crying to you, then why did you reply?

Another reason for purchasing the phone is the up facing speakers. I thought the phone would be loud but my kids iphone is louder, and in fact my old Communicator is louder. Plus, being 6'4" I find the headphone cord too short to carry the phone in my pocket while listening to music. Not a...

Sure I compared phones and found this one to be easy to write apps for. Plenty of online stuff for that. I learned that others don't like the on switch location, or the home button, or the power consumption before I bought it. Apple products are even more of a toy - engineering apps are...

You didn't catch that part where I mention they didn't keep the Communicator line going? Sure make all the snarky comments you care to - and not directly answer the obvious shortcomings, the biggest shortcoming being that this is a toy for a narcissistic child and not a tool.

I'm really not here to ask questions or get answers. As I stated I've had "smart" phones before they were called that. I'm considering writing an app to help with some of my tasks, and have been in computers since Unix days. But quite obviously the way the phone comes it is meant merely as a...

Coming from having a Nokia Communicator over ten years ago (when flip phone owners laughed at my "brick) I am disappointed with the phone, and the Sprint service. This is a toy compared to the Communicator and nothing more. I need to use these for ACTUAL work and not to post whatever I'm...
