My co-worker has a T-Mobile PDA phone. If he recieves a call while using the net on the PDA it will ring and he can answer it, but any download is put on hold until he hangs up. Still a ton better than my situation though.

Are you saying you have the same thing with Sprint? What do you mean "it wont ring"? That sounds like not being able to accept incomming calls to me. If your does work like my co-workers T-Mobile, it must be phone dependant because it definatly doesn't work like that with any of the Sprint phones I've tried to use (including their newest PDA phone). What phone do you have?

on the newest pda phone (my ppc6700) You need to reprivision your evdo settings or some jazz along those lines, but I haven't done it yet. I can vouch that I don't get calls while listening to shoutcast radio.

Ok, well if you do figure out that reprivisioning "jazz"

...post here to let me in on it. I would love to be able to drop the net in order to answer an incoming call.

Thanks.

"Get your MSL MSID and MDN from sprint. Do a RTN reset and reprogram your phone. Then start the IOTA process found in settings>phone>services.

You shouldn't have a problem after that.

my first post so excuse me if i sound wayyy off. but here's what im thinking:

#1. You'll need to write an app that will take the GPS data from the PC, and send it to your Cellphone via Blutooth. Most software that comes with cell phones will allow you to do that, and for automation of this task, look into AutoIt (windows scripting lang)

#2. Write a second piece of code, most probably a Java app (since phones will support that) that will take this data received from your PC GPS and send it to a designated number/IP over SMS. This app will have to run off your phone.

#3. Another app on the server side, the # or IP that receives the SMS will have to take the co-ordinates and Google Map the info. I know Girder (software used mainly for IR Remote to PC communication) can handle SMS receiving upto a certain extent, and do custom actions based on it.

I know, its all in theory, but #1 & #2 seem very do-able. The only one I'm sceptic about is #2, but that only 'cuz i have no experience with writing Java applets for phones.

Let me know what you think, and Good Luck!
