viewing the world through a phone
I finally got the phone working with viewing things on the internet - turns out the recommend procedure to get it online was:
1) turn off the phone
2) take out the battery
3) remove the SIM card
4) let it sit for 5 minutes
5) put the SIM card back in
6) put the battery back in
7) turn on phone
Viola!
I love it when rebooting the system solves the problem. Heh.
Not sure how useful this whole “browsing with phone” thing will be - the RAZR didn’t seem to work looking at my blog, so I guess it has a pretty limited browser mode (WAP or something). I did manage to mail a picture I took with the phone to myself though. Not too bad. Its not nearly as good as the digital camera I keep in my pocket, but it’s reasonably acceptable. And it looks like it’s pretty easy to use. I still remember Jeremy sending my pics from Byron’s wedding since I couldn’t be there. I thought that was pretty cool.
I guess I’ll have to find some a few mp3’s and set up ringtones and such now. All the good fiddling that you can waste hours with - the best kind! I’ve already sync’d the phone to the iBook, and that worked pretty well. I do wish it hadn’t created a separate contact for EVERY phone number - I’ll make a more limited list and sync that in the future I think.
Enough for now - back to my sunday fiddling.

Crazy Frog Axel F is the best ringtone! Let me know if you want me to hook you up.
