PROBLEM SOLVED! I stumbled, headlong, into using the Nokia N800
file manager, with the bluetooth still paired to the ROKR, to
look at the ROKR's microSD card over the Bluetooth FTP. IT
CONNECTED! The ROKR's 2GB card out of my Sansa MP3 player was
displayed on the N800's file manager. I could even copy and move
files both ways. N800 treated it like a Bluetooth external disk
drive...(c;
Well, lo and behold! The instant the phone connected to the N800
file manager, the phone beeped and connected the DUN call to the
net! The phone was set to ignore the DUN call, but it seems to
have had a change of heart, now that its pregnant with my Nokia
tablet's data baby via FTP. Ever since stumbling onto this
phenomenon (oversight? bug?...etc.), when the Nokia is booting
up with BT to PHone autoconnect set to on, the ROKR responds
instantly to the call, even before the N800 has booted up past
the initial picture screens! By the time the home page appears,
we're ALREADY on the net....with MUCH BETTER EVDO access than the
E815 EVER provided.
I also noted the phone says [EV] on its status display, not the
1XATT icon with the little antenna symbol the other phone did.
Streaming and viewing webpages at the same time doesn't break up
the stream at all!
ROKR Z6M, once you get over this initial hurdle, has really
gotten my attention.
Now that I have a more stable EVDO platform, I've repurchased
AXcess TV from MobiTV but am quite disappointed with its software
on the ROKR. The camera software, by default, goes into FULL
SCREEN landscape mode to take pictures on the 2M pixel camera.
MobiTV's ROKR version DOES NOT! The picture is TINY! It only
has ****trait mode with the picture taking up about 40% of the
available screen space. I'm calling MobiTV tomorrow to find out
if there's a way to get it in FULL SCREEN mode to fill the nice
widescreen display the camera software shows clearly that
landscape mode IS available....Mobi just doesn't sup****t it.
NEXT BATTLE IS JUST BEGINNING!.....(c;
I'm much happier with the upgrade today than when I posted my
anger. "NO" has never been too acceptable to me.....
