I'm seriously tempted to buy one of these devices, as my MDA Pro is abit big for work.

Has the Missed Call Issue (http://www.extrememhz.com/qtek8500-p4.shtml) been resolved yet?

As far as I followed the discussions on various boards, the "Missed Call Issue" has only occured with U.S. carriers, I haven't seen a complaint by someone outside the U.S.

I am using my 8500 for the last three weeks, and I never had a missed call....

Additionally there seems to be a workaround!

hi i m really interested in changing from prophet to startrek, i would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out on the following:

1. battery life - mp3 + bluetooth (2 hours), calls (30 minutes), PDA (1 hour). would i have to recharge it everyday?

2. dust problem - will dust slip in between the display and the phone?

3. the ringtone - is it too soft? what if i change it to MP3 ringtone would it help?

4. AD2P - is it just mono sound using bluetooth headset and is there AD2P?

Thanks in advance guys!

From my experience:-

1) No, every other day.

2) No, the screen is sealed.

3) I use the oldphone ringtone from the PDA's and it's pretty loud.

4) A2DP is stereo, but you have to set a reg key to make it that way.

Bonus question: Yes, you can active sync your stuff.

Yes it syncs well however, I have had a few conflicts as I have a QTEK S100 sync'd with 2 PCs and wanted to also sync the 8500. I first needed to upgrade from activesync 3.8 to 4.2 which was supposed to be easy. Bl**dy microsoft, no way was it. Had trouble connecting and also 4.2 seemed to think my phone was never ever connected.

Got it sync'd now and all seems well. Problem for me was activesync 4.2 syncs more information and this didn't help. It now sync's contact photos which is nice.
