VZW and DUN

Dude, seriously, VZW is starting to piss me off by disabling OBEX on all non-PDA phones… I didn’t care about this until I got the pink RAZR v3c for Sherry and found out the latest .03 VZW firmware had OBEX disabled. I compared the .02 and .03 images and looks like VZW/Moto ripped out the OBEX code completely in the image. Not a big deal, I will just have to flash the .02 image on her phone, but still, they should stop messing with Bluetooth capabilities on their phones or they will see exodus to GSM providers. Too bad all the GSM providers in the U.S. still sucks…

Verizon gives in, allows DUN from cellphones – Engadget

Verizon Wireless has given in to consumer demand, and will now allow customers to use most compatible cellphones as broadband modems.

Verizon is,
however, keeping at least one restriction: DUN via Bluetooth will still be officially
off-limits; the only way to legally connect will be via USB cables.

Cool, no need to upgrade my Mac til 2007

Like I said in my earlier post, Photoshop users shouldn’t upgrade to the Intel-base Macs until Adobe releases a native version. Looks like we now have a year to save up the pennies for the MacBook Pro. 😉

AppleInsider | Adobe may not deliver native Intel Mac support until 2007

Adobe Systems on Wednesday said it has no plans to re-release its current applications as Universal binaries that can run natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based systems, and instead will focus on delivering native support for Intel Macs along with the next major versions of its software.

Hard to take this review seriously… Amazon.com: Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset – Magenta: Cell Phones

Was looking at Bluetooth headsets to go with Sherry’s pink RAZR v3c, and came across this review at Amazon:
Amazon.com: Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset – Magenta: Cell Phones:

The sound quality is very good for both incoming and outgoing calls.

Huh? Am I missing something? Why would it be different for incoming and outgoing calls?
