I have an old cell phone and need to upgrade with my Verizon service. I was ready to get the Blackberry Storm, but in order to log in to my work system from remote access I need to have internet explorer which is not included in the Storm. So I need to have Windows Mobile 5 or 6 operating system but I still want to get a phone that has as many bells and whistles as possible. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
My verizon phone quit working and a friend gave me an Amp’d Mobile phone which is now owned by Verizon. I have already switched the service, but it still has the Amp’d Mobile operating system. Is there anyway I can change it without having to go to the Verizon store? The account is not in my name and I really don’t feel like having to take my mother-in-law just to get the to change it.
I own a Huawei u7517 mobile phone that I got from my local phone provider. I understand its the same as Vodafone 840. I’ll like to know what is it’s operating system, how can I add or remove items from the default menu, and use non-java applications.
Do you know your mobile phone has an operating system? Which one do you prefer?
i Have the Samsung impression and the OS doesnt work right.
what i was wondering is: is it possible to Wipe out the Operating system on the phone and Reinstall a DIFFERENT operating system?
EX: format the phone and install Windows Mobile?

It says I need to buy an authenticator and generate a key before I can login. Do i need to? I’m thinking about calling my subscription quits.
Grand Central is Google’s new free phone operating system. It is currently in Beta mode and I think is only open to users by invite only.
My computer has been acting funny lately. It’s an HP and I didn’t load the OS XP: Pro, it came this way. When I log onto my computer in Safe Mode to fix a problem, There are suppose to be the accounts are ready on the computer and a free-will admin account. I have none! Just blank. What happened? How can I get them back? Do I have to load the whole operating system again? Can I load the OS from a disk from someone else, *I paid for the software already; they did also, can I just use it without problems? Are there any solutions? Do I have to make that phone-call just to hear reload the OS? Any help with be appericated and best will be rewarded.
I am in a Nigerian university, and they (we don’t know who, because there was no information preceding this- NONE) just installed some sort of terminal in my department, which we have been seeing across campus.
It has a keyboard, a screen and a phone handset.
Presumably we can use it to make phone calls, or browse the Internet, and we are informed that we can buy special cards, or use our ATM cards to access its services. This raised an alarm with me.
First of all, this contraption seems connected to the regular Internet we use in school, that serves the whole campus. I remember this movie (the one with Travolta, Jackson, and Berry), where they showed that it was a really big deal to get into a bank via the Internet- that if you wanted to do stuff with accounts, you had to get into a bank that was connected specially. Or does that only apply to mega-accounts?
I also remember a story in a business magazine, about some enterprising crooks in America, who industiously made their own ATM machines, looking and weighing just like the real thing- only these don’t dispense cash- they plead "out of order," while they ave recorded your ATM card details, which will then be used to rob your account.
Can this new gadget be on the level, or is it a new fraud being snuck in? It will take a while before we can check with our administration. In the meantime, I am warning everyone to be careful about what they put into them- namely their ATM card and Internet account details.
This thing booted with what looked like the regular XP Operating system, and I saw the usual icons when they were installing it.
Dear DUNBAR PAPPY, thank you for your advice. Now I am really alarmed.
I am attempting to upload a picture of what this unit looks like.
http://www.geocities.com/christiantensegity/playtm.jpg
Here is what the machine looks like.
Is this what is in use in America, Europe, or Asia? Is this what it is used for in other countries?
We could be looking at an enormous disaster, if people are being tricked into entering their ATM card details, and Internet Mail passwords into a terminal that can be used to steal them!

Dear Tech Support,
Recently I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed that the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting software, severely limiting access to wardrobe, flower and jewelry applications that operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalls many other valuable programs such as DinnerDancing 7.5, CruiseShip 2.3, and OperaNight 6.1 and installs new, undesirable programs such as PokerNight 1.3, SaturdayFootball 5.0, Golf 2.4 and ClutterEverywhere 4.5. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and invariably crashes the system. Under no circumstances will it run DiaperChanging 14.1 or HouseCleaning 2.6. I’ve tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix Husband 1.0, but this all purpose utility is of only limited effectiveness. Can you help, please!!
Sincerely,XXX
Dear XXX,
This is a very common problem women complain about, but it is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 with no idea that Boyfriend 5.0 is merely an ENTERTAINMENT package. However, Husband 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and was designed by its creator to run as few applications as possible. Further, you cannot purge Husband 1.0 and return to Boyfriend 5.0, because Husband 1.0 is not designed to do this. Hidden operating files within your system would cause Boyfriend 5.0 to emulate Husband 1.0, so nothing is gained. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program files from the system, once installed. Any new program files can only be installed once per year, as Husband 1.0 has severely limited memory. Error messages are common, and a normal part of Husband 1.0.
In desperation to play some of their "old time" favorite applications, or to get new applications to work, some women have tried to install Boyfriend 6.0, or Husband 2.0. However, these women end up with more problems than encountered with Husband 1.0. Look in your manual under "Warnings: Divorce/Child Support." You will notice that this program runs very poorly, and comes bundled with HeartBreak 1.3. I recommend you keep Husband 1.0, and just learn the quirks of this strange and illogical system. Having Husband 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults [GPFs]. This is a wonderful feature of Husband 1.0, secretly installed by the parent company as an integral part of the operating system. Husband 1.0 must assume ALL responsibility for ALL faults and problems, regardless of root cause. To activate this great feature enter the command "C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME". Sometimes Tears 6.2 must be run simultaneously while entering the command. Husband 1.0 should then run the applications Apologize 12.3 and Flowers/Chocolates 7.8.
TECH TIP!
Avoid excessive use of this feature. Overuse can create additional and more serious GPFs, and ultimately YOU may have to give a C:\ I APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal operations. Overuse can also cause Husband 1.0 to default to GrumpySilence 2.5, or worse yet, to Beer 6.0. Beer 6.0 is a very bad program that causes Husband 1.0 to create FatBelly files and SnoringLoudly wave files that are very hard to delete. Save yourself some trouble by following this tech tip!
Just remember! The system will run smoothly, and take the blame for all GPFs, but because of this fine feature it can only intermittently run all the applications Boyfriend 5.0 ran. Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. Consider buying additional software to improve performance. I personally recommend HotFood 3.0, Lingerie 5.3 and Patience 10.1. Used in conjunction, these utilities can really help keep Husband 1.0 running smoothly. After several years of use, Husband 1.0 will become familiar and you will find many valuable embedded features such as FixBrokenThings 2.1, Snuggling 4.2 and BestFriend 7.6.
A final word of caution! Do NOT, under any circumstances, install MotherInLaw 1.0. This is not a supported application, and will cause selective shutdown of the operating system. Husband 1.0 will run only Fishing 9.4 and Hunting 5.2 until MotherInLaw 1.0 is uninstalled.
I hope these notes have helped. Thank you for choosing to install Husband 1.0 and we here at Tech Support wish you the best of luck in coming years. We trust you will learn to fully enjoy this product!
