V525 Questions
Posts: n/a replacement but was sold on the V525 which loolked a pretty good phone. I bought it, but before I did asked the salesman two specific questions: 1. Does it have T9 text input and 2. Will it sync with Outlook on my Windows machine His answer was 'yes' to both. Having got it home it seems the answer is 'no' to both. Am I correct? Many thanks Ted (P***d off)  Responses to "V525 Questions"

I have downloaded 'Motorola Mobile Phone Tools' V 1.23 and the update to 2.16 but the initial installation on V1.23 always fails with en error message 'Error Number 0x80040707 - DLL function call crashed: PbkInstall_GetBookNames' so I don't get a chance to apply the upgrade. I am using WinXP Pro SP1, have tried a re-boot, disabling virus checker etc.etc. with no luck. Is this the right software and/or am I doing something wrong? Best wishes Ted

It offers to complete whole words when you haven't finished typing them, it handles punctuation very well (though this is poorly documented) and learns fast which word you are most likely to be trying to enter, not always offering the same word by default for the same key presses. It has the same failing as T9, it's too stupid to know that i on its own means I! Yes it will synch with Outlook via bluetooth and the Mobile Phone Tools It's a lovely phone with a solid feel and a great keypad. It's interface is also endlessly customisable

Try one of the XP groups eg alt.os.windows-xp (but beware Kadaitcha man!)
