Dialing to special numbers

Posted on 2010-01-22 02:01 UTC by kevin serrano. Status: Under consideration, Categories: System, Devices.

In my country there are  some numbers to which we dial, for example:  (HONDURAS)

#123# (send) and the service provider send a special message (not sms, just like a pop-up windows) with your prepaid balance.

Also if we want to give money from our balance to another user balance we dial

*327*the-phone-number-to-which-we-want-to-send*amount-in-numbers-that-we-are-sending#(send)

then a message appear confirming our request, we send 1 for yes as text message or 0 for no or just cancel.

 

 

Java Support

Almost every new phone support java, how come is it we can't handle java in our N900

AT&T 3G (WCDMA 850/1900 MHz) frequency support

Dear Brainstormers,

I was referred to this forum by bugs and Nokia themselves (for whatever that's worth). Anyway, I understand the hardware is finalized and it would be difficult to change but I am trying to get some sort of project going for the WCDMA 850/1900 MHz range support for 3G on US AT&T and the majority of South American, some Canadian, and some Australian 3G users. I believe this would greatly increase the sales of N900's and certainly make the experience for many users much better. I understand it supports the EDGE 850/1900 MHz range but how difficult would it be to make this WCDMA? Is it a huge hardware issue or can it be done through a software/firmware change? The provided PDF pictures should show the GSM chip somewhere, I'm not sure what it looks like.

 

Lyrics support in the Media Player

The N900 Media Player actually lacks of lyrics support: it should be definitely implemented.

SMS capability with Skype Conversations

The Skype integration for N900 is heavenly, works out-of-the-box. Skypeout quality and latency is superb even over 3G connection.

 

One thing I found missing is the capability to SMS with this integration. The PC client can do it, I believe that this functionality can be integrated as well.
