| | Shawn you are my hero! I'm so astounded right now that I didn't have the pniaetce to register but will shortly so that I can thank you personally. Just the same, I owe you an enormous debt of gratitude why? Briefly, I had been looking for a new phone for some time (previously using a Sony/Ericsson T610 with T-Mobile (as phone and with unlimited data plan). I had been considering a convergent device such as the SE P910 or the upcoming Treo 650 (as I won't consider any device that isn't Bluetooth enabled). However when the Razr came out, Cingular offered it unlocked and with 30 days to try it out, I couldn't resist! Like yourself, I use a Mac (Powerbook 17 ). To me at least, the Razr is the Powerbook of cell phones; sleek, capable, elegant (except I fully agree on the address book weak point as well as my other nits being the lack of a to-do list, no Edge support and the rather sparse 5MB of memory) but these facts are well offset by ite2€™s design elegance and ability to pull in great signal strength. Simply put, I loved the phone, especially considering that it fits into my wallet! BUT, after many hours tinkering with settings, provisioning my account for Cingular's rather expensive data service (and then eliminating it after repeated failures to make it work), being on the phone with Cingular tech support (which knew far less than I seemed to), Motorola tech support (completely useless), and even Apple tech support, couldn't get my Razr to function as a GPRS or DUN modem or dial-up device. I even had already downloaded the Motorola scripts after exhaustive research online. Still I couldn't get past the authentication protocol. Nonetheless, I took the plunge and committed to the Razr with the feeling that someone would eventually ferret out the right combination. Low and behold, you did it!Shawn, I don't know how you deciphered the correct combination, but I'm in your debt for making my holidays bright again! I now have my cake and can eat it too By the way, if you need to set your Razr up to pull in mail from any of your POP accounts automatically, I did decipher those settings and was prepared to live with that until your wonderful solution! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES!!One last thing, like you I too own an H2, and truly appreciate where technology and design meet! If you haven't done so already, check out the Roku WiFi music bridges. They work seamlessly with your Mac (as well as PC's) and iTunes to bring your music library into any room in your home (it's my newest toy). Also Best Buy has the Roku Soundbridge 1000 model on sale for $200 right now (a savings of $50).Sorry for the extended diatribe, but I felt compelled to tell you my tale of woe until finding your holiday miracle of a post (at least for me).Happy Holidays Mate,Mark |
