Hey, That's my FAQ -- I wrote that HOWTO for using a BlackBerry as a modem for laptop. My experience is: 7290 -- about 40 Kbps (GPRS) 8700 -- about 150-200 Kbps (EDGE) Curve 8310 -- about 150-200 Kbps (EDGE) Bold 9000 -- about 1200 Kbps (3G -- broadband on a BlackBerry!!!!!) I love...

I love my BlackBerry, but I turn off vibrate 95% of the time now. If I need to look for emails, I take it out and glance at the screen like a watch. I don't use BlackBerry vibrate much anymore because vibrate controls my life too much. I can make it vibrate only for one person, too...

It's great too! But the Sony is smaller and with a better keyboard. I prefer usability over 0.27 Ghz difference. The screen is also higher resolution, at 1600x768 too. Who makes the smallest touch-typeable laptop? That's more important to me...

Hello, I think that this coat-pocket-sized laptop is pretty neat: - Run WINDOWS XP or VISTA - Builtin camera for video conferencing - Builtin 3G highspeed Internet and wireless 'n' - Very high resolution 1600x768 screen (can be switched to lower resolution or browser zoomed to 200% for...

You are a person who is able to make phone call but have difficulty fully understanding what other people say? Works great for late-deafened people. If so, www.sprintcaptel.com is much better than relay. It gives you closed captioning for your telephone without buying captioned telephone...

CC works on PC DVD, some software DVD players such as WinDVD and PowerDVD supports the closed captioning feature as a second method in addition to subtitles. If the DVD is closed captioned on a regular TV, it is possible to purchase a CC-compatible DVD player software package (i.e...

Exactly -- WebCapTel only works in 3G (highspeed wireless) mode rather than EDGE (slower speed wireless). In the times you're stuck in "E", you might be able to connect Safari over WiFi, and still be able to the phone over GSM/EDGE. Basically use two separate networks (talk over GSM/EDGE...

Dennis, I heard that you were were able to get WebCapTel working on the iPhone too! How did it work for you?

I was almost able to get WebCapTel working on a BlackBerry Bold. Not quite working yet, though. Hopefully new BlackBerry OS upgrade will fix the bug (browser AJAX issue). I will keep you all updated about BlackBerry Bold's compatibility with WebCapTel.

What about getting third-party voicemail? One can purchase a third party voice-to-text voicemail service (sold separately, not with Rogers or Telus) just use call forwarding to a third party, and they can be configured to forward voicemails to email -- you don't even need a cellphone for this...

Or one could get a remote TTY (Linux or MacOS computer with a TTY modem such as Ultratec Intelemodem, etc). You just use the cellphone to remotely connect to the remote computer that has the TTY modem, then make a TTY call that way. Then use the cellphone to remotely connect to the computer...

BlackBerry do not have native TTY abilities. BlackBerry just simply can accept third party software for U.S. services that turn the device into the equivalent of a TTY. I've even turned an iPhone into a TTY and Captioned Telephone, by running special software on it. Same goes for TREO...

That's only for people without a text messaging plan. Bell Mobility doesn't charge for texting if you're already on a "text messaging package" -- that is unchanged. No charges on Bell Mobility if you're already on "package". The 15 cent charges are only if you don't subscribe to a text...

I agree but the Verizon Unlimited plan actually has a 5 gigabyte softcap, and 6 gigabytes is quite plenty. And AT&T has a softcap now, reportedly, at 5 gigabytes. So US and Canada not too different anymore when Rogers cut the $60 down to $30 after consumer outrage, anger at Rogers, so Rogers...

I can imagine other applications of this: "Mobile FM System". 1. Get two phones (one being an iPhone, and the other one having a Bluetooth headset) 2. Initiate a Captioned phone call between the two. 3. Give the second phone to the professor, lecturer, or the other person who's...

Big news for Captioned Telephone users! Mobile Handheld Captioned Telephone is here to stay! (Thanks to Apple putting a nearly full version of Safari browser on iPhone) Here's the pix as proof: 1 Open Safari on iPhone 2. In Safari, log onto www.SprintCapTel.com (or...

It doesn't work that way, unfortunately... All modern cellphones have a TTY function to make it compatible with an external TTY connected over a cable... It doesn't let you use the keyboard to type directly on the device... I did, however, jerryrig a home-made Bell Canada IP-Relay system...

Good news.... Web Captioned Telephone works on iPhone! I posted instructions in this thread. I will also test this on BlackBerry Bold when it comes out, it is supposed to support Web 2.0 technologies such as AJAX that Sprint's WebCapTel requires, but will have to see if the...

WebCapTel works on iPhone! My instructions are bang-on correct... I will also test this on BlackBerry Bold at the end of July or early August, which is supposed to support AJAX (Web 2.0 technology), which WebCapTel requires. IMPORTANT NOTE: You must live in a 3G high speed...

Yes! Captioned Telephone WORKS on iPhone 3G (Sprint WebCapTel) Hello, Apparently, a friend tried www.SprintCapTel.com and it seems to load fine on their iPhone 3G. The website actually worked up to before attempting a call. Can someone with Web Captioned Telephone test this on an iPhone 3G...
