Filed under: Sprint Screw the Pre — government contracts are where the real action is at, and Sprint’s got to be thrilled to know that it’s the first, the last, and the only carrier to be used by the US Census in its 2010 once-per-decade review of the nation’s denizens. We’ve known for some time that HTC would be supplying custom hardware to data collection folks in the field — a device cleverly codenamed Census — and indeed, Sprint’s press release makes mention of the fact that about 140,000 workers started using the Harris-branded devices with integrated fingerprint readers and GPS back in April of this year.

LG Xenon Sending Text Message to a series of numbers…
June 30th, 2009
jedwan I had to send a text message to 368266. When I typed the message and selected "Send to" put in the number and hit send, it says "no recipient selcted". So I was forced to create a contact for this number and then delete it after it was sent. Is there a way to do this without making a contact?  Thank you.
LG Xenon Entering Contacts Question
June 30th, 2009
jedwan Is there anyway to put a home number FIRST when storing contacts. You see, I call my mom at HOME more than on her MOBILE number and I’d like it to come up first when I select it through the contact list. I have entered it first, but it is stored under mobile, so when I am driving and use the "voice command" it is messed up and takes longer to get to the right number. Not a big deal, but would make it easier.  Thanks.
LG Xenon Text Message Question
June 30th, 2009
jedwan When I hit the "send to" it brings up a list of contacts and the ones I recently sent to are listed first. One of them was a one time text message and it keeps appearing on the list. How do I remove it. Another was a "secondary" number for someone that is stored in my phone but they asked me to text at their primary number and it keeps showing up with both numbers/names and sometimes I pick the wrong one.  I don’t want to remove the person from my phone, just from the top of the list when I hit the "send to" button.  Thank you.

Nokia N97 getting firmware 1.1 on July 1
June 30th, 2009
jedwan Filed under: Software , Nokia , Symbian There’s no shortage of complaints — some minor, some not-so-minor — about the shipping firmware in the N97s that are already out in the field (our wonky backlight comes immediately to mind), but fortunately, it seems that Nokia’s looking to tackle the issues perhaps more proactively than it’s ever done before. Nokia Conversations’ official Twitter account has announced that the “first variants” of the N97 (which we would take to mean the North American version, since the US got it first) will be blessed with firmware 1.1 starting on July 1, which hopefully will be available over-the-air without any Nokia Software Updater silliness. No word on what exactly will be changed in the new release, but honestly, if we can just get the LL Cool J startup screen , that’ll be good enough for us.
