85,000 Cellphone Bill - High Carrier data Charges

Are you running a limited data plan? Are you sick of paying .. let's say a 3,400 phone bill ONLY because your Carrier allowed you to slide from paying the original cost, which was a whopping 85,000 cellphone phone bill. Most carriers here in the states and overseas are banking lots of consumers cash on limited data data plans. If you're a Blackberry owner for example you better be careful when using your Blackberry as a modem > Read a few testimonies about blackberry data charges.

Meanwhile on the other side of the world there happen to be an Intelligent Blackberry Application Developer Newbie. Yep! A developer at MINiMONI who decided to build an blackberry application that allows you track blackberry data usage. If you happen to be on your Blackberry now you can downlaod it OTA here

Notice: quoted from the MINIMONI site " Please note that I give no warranty on the proper function of this application. Neither I will take any responsibility for damages to your devices. USE IT ON YOUR OWN RISC! "

Does your Carrier charge you International data coverage cost when say you take a business trip over to London? You want to investigate that. Let us know your comments!

Blackberry - Growing in South America!

Face it RIM is launching around the globe. If there's people - expect RIM to launch. Interesting during our latest research it appears that RIM is doing very well in South America. Brazil seems to be picking these nifty handhelds at a outstanding rate. Let's keep our eyes on Blackberry Brasil Forums Although Brazil assumes the largest part of South America, their picking up the Blackberry at a much more slower rate than anothers. We expect this to change very soon. RIM has an aggressive Marketing Department and this went go on for too long. Interested in working for RIM in Brasil apply now

Mobile phone ringtones come in three different types. Types: polyphonic ringtones ,monophonic ringtones and true tones.

Most recent cellphone support the type of ringtones for example : The newer phones from manufacturers like Panasonic, Samsung, Siemens, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson, and LG, now have ringtones capabilities.

Monophonic ringtones / good choice if you are looking for a clear, easy to discern ringtone for your cellular phone. However it's not as popular as polyphonic and true tone ringtones.

Nextel Blackberry as a modem

Nextel Blackberry Users have been struggling to obtain a way to use their Blackberry as a modem. While other carriers have opened the flood gates since day 1 with their Blackberry users. Okay, so we created the Shark Modem - Blackberry as a modem application and it works for Nextel users. Most Nextel users complain about the speed. Well Nextel network is sitting at around 19.2kbs. Ok 19.2kbs is slow- but it works. Ever been stranded at the hotel or airport and didn't wanna pay the sky rocket prices but needed to get on? So there you have it stay at 19.2kbs or perhaps choosing another carrier. For all the "chirp" fans.. it's better that you to stay.

Using Lotus Notes and Sametime with The Shark Modem

It's been asked and NOW we are going to answer it.

Q: How do I configure my Lotus Notes client to work with The Shark Modem?

A: Make sure you set the proxy in the right place. Create a new location document (by copy/paste/rename of an existing one) Then edited the Proxy Configuration setting on the first page. Set the "HTTP Tunnel" field to localhost/3128 as well as all the proxy fields. You should then see Lotus Notes replication requests on the Shark Modem connection tab.
If you have problems with DNS name resolution (locating your mail server), you may need to set up a connection document in your address book to map the server name to a IP Address.
I also recommend that (with the blackberry shark location selected) you uncheck all except the most essential databases (your mail) so that you don't attempt to replicate other databases over the blackberry. Also, if you get sent a lot of large e-mails, you should change the replication settings for your mail database to only receive the first 40KB or similar. Replication settings are specific to the current location, so when you switch back to your normal location, they will revert to normal settings.
DAK.


Q: How do I configure my SameTime client to work with The Shark Modem?

A: I tested this with Sametime 7.5.1 and found that on the communities section of preferences you need to set the Proxy configuration to use "HTTPS Proxy" and point it to the Shark Modem at localhost/3128.
