C1000/3x00 General discussions / C1000 Sync With Cellphone?

Good point!  Will check for full BT functionality.

Bought a Nokia 6255i today.  It has USB, IR, and full Bluetooth connectivity.

C1000 should arrive some time between tomorrow and Tuesday (depending
on the efficiency of the post-holiday postal service).

The phone did connect fine with a workers Blackberry at the Alltel office.

if you got one from diceone, I'm assuming it includes the socket BT card.  You should be able to connect to a BT phone and transfer files or use as a modem.  Syncing PIMs is a different story and I can't help you there.

Hmmm.  The BT-equipped phones are more costly.  I was hoping to make this work with IR and if necessary a USB cable.  Will see if there is a BT-equipped phone with a camera that is affordable.

BTW you have to be careful on the BT stuff because not all phones have full BT capability.  Many US phone companies disable those features leaving only the ability to talk to a bluetooth headset.

I have a used C1000 coming from diceone and am wondering if anyone has
successfully gotten a IR or USB connection to work between their cellphone
and a C1000? (May also apply if working with the C3000/C3100)

I am looking at buying a Nokia 6235i but would consider other recommendations for
cellphones with cameras if they sync with the C1000/3000/3001, work with Alltel,
and are not hyper-expensive.

Thanks!  edoc

Sharp ROMs / Watapon ROM

« on: December 24, 2005, 10:49:22 pm »

Hi all. Back on watapon (at least for a while). Any update on 1.6.2 or 2.0/opie?

Wow!  I just read through all 20 pages and what a ride!  Made Christmas Eve exciting!

The only tech forum that compares to this, of which I am aware, is the Puppy Linux one.

It occurs to me that there may be a possible symbiotic relationship between watapon and Puppy as Puppy is also optimized for small, simple, effective, and quick while still providing a robust OS.  http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/

Puppy also has some parallel development and forked versions for specialized users, e.g. one for those needing an emphasis on graphics apps.

I am considering the purchase of a 5600 (I do have a little used 5500 I will then sell) and am very encouraged by what I am reading here.

One question I have never read on any of thr several dozen sites and threads I have read about the 5600 is re. printing.  Is there any way that a file may be sent directly to a printer from the 5600 or must it first go to a PC and then to a printer?

Thanks!  doc
