Uncategorized 0 Minutes

For those of you who are buying the new Cingular 2125 phone (the one I have) you might want to save these directions on how to use it as a GPRS/Edge modem in your references file for when you need to get on the Internet but no Wifi network is nearby. Thanks to Mike Poulson for doing the hard work.

He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble?

Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV.

  1. I want that phone so bad I can taste it. Unfortunately Cingular is one of the more unreasonable carriers when it comes to upgrading phones, and it hasn’t been 6 months since I got the smt5600. I can’t decide if I want it bad enough to buy it from ebay.

  9. I was going to flame you on you being an MS-guy-not-using-MS-products, but I happened to read an earlier post on how ur mantra is digital-lifestyle and not constantly blowing Microsoft’s horn. Honourable objective :)…though it is kinda hard to believe that such noble thoughts actually emanate from Redmond…haven’t they got to you already? 😉

  15. I am pissed, I can’t add storage to my phone (cingular 2125). I bought a 1 GB miniSD card, that didn’t work, exchanged that with another one. Same result. exchanged it for a 512 mb, that doesn’t work I got two more coming in the mail so hopefully I just picked up another bad product and maybe I can be complete in just a couple of days. But this, I must say has been a very disappointing holiday season for me, a far as gadgets are concerned.

  19. Why does Windows still not support these devices properly? I can plug in a land-line modem and I don’t have to enter cryptic AT commands to get it to dial the internet. But if I want to use a GPRS modem connection, I have to deal with instructions like that. It’s nuts; half the planet have phones with GPRS modems in them, but Windows has precisely zero real support for them. Whoever is responsible for this stuff at Microsoft must have been asleep for the past 5 years. Is there any plan to have support in Vista? Or are hundreds of millions of potential users not important?

  21. I’ve been using my V551 as a modem on medianet for over 18 months and have never been charged for data. But when I bought my new laptop I connected without putting anything into the extra initialization commands line in modem properties and it worked fine. The number I dial is *99***3#. T

I’ll try the string you posted. Thanx, Gmantwo

  25. Is it possible to connect to Internet using Cingular 3125 (just like 2125 with a better package)? I would like to use USB instead of bluetooth.

  29. If your phone can’t read larger SD cards such as 1GB yuo need firmware update on your phone, if there is any.

    When you use phone as modem or SD card reader with PC you can’t receive calls.

    Has anyone got confirmed way to use BlackJack SGH-i607 as modem?

    Thanks
