OT I wish my cell phone could....
I want a feature on my cell phone so that when I call it I can push
some buttons and change it from vibrate only to the loudest ring possible. PIN protected, of course. I'll bet a bunch of you are wishing for the same thing. (I used to have "Vib then Ring" but not anymore.) |

I wish mine had a built in flash drive that would store my information on it so that when I go to the dentist or doctor I could enter a pin number and set it on their USB dock and fill out my form information. |

Mine has a microSD card that can be placed in a USB adaptor that essentially
makes it a flash drive. But why not just use a regular flash drive? Of course that assumes the Doctor's system had the capability of uploading that data. "metspitzer" wrote in message ...

Why not set it up with a code that will just make it jump into your pocket? (even if it's under the seat of the car out in the detached garage, of course.) |

I want a feature on mine that provides the same range and sound quality as the US phones of 20 years ago, or of any third world country today. ----- - gpsman |

The microphone is too ****ing far away from your mouth, and if you talk in a normal voice, the squelch will kill your voice. Plus the amount of static and distortion on those damn things is almost unbearable a lot of the time. |

You hold the "*" key and it toggles between vibrate and whatever ring loudness you have set. I use it a lot to avoid annoying others. Based on observation I am sure you and I are the only ones interested in doing so. |

I believe that's Dad's objective. |
