U1000 Questions....Pls help...

[sectorlord]

I will be getting it tomorrow with 40% discount...

1) I planned to get rid of the keyboard and just use the Virtual Keyboard...anyone tried that ?

2) I tried to dial with one hand ...and it is possible (maybe coz I'm 6.2" man ?)
Anyone tried it ..is it tiresome ?

3) The size is big for a phone.... I wanted to use a BT with mono earphone but I could dial ...referabbly with 30 phonebook?

4) Is it really big in your normal levis pant ?

Thanks

1. It's up to your preference, but I'm sure it's absolutely doable. It would be just like any other portrait mode PDA, but much bigger.
2. It's easy enough, but I don't do it. Much better/convenient to voice dial and/or use the keyboard.
3. Not sure what you mean. There are BT headsets with contact lists.
4. If you have deep enough pockets it would fit but it will not be comfortable, just doable. I realized that using the leather case (with the keyboard) and carrying it like a filofax is much more convenient. You also have the benefit of immediately flipping it open if there is a notification (phone call, sms, reminder etc). Brilliant when using public transport. Hop on, sit down or lean on a wall, and start using it.

Lastly, if you are just looking for a phone, the you might be better off selling the U1000 and getting something smaller. The U1000 was made with "a bit more" in mind. ;)
