Yes I have the apex QT 32! Aside from keys not always working
the first time I pressed them I haven't had any issues thus far.
I don't have any problems with down loading email. I know people
talked about it before but what again is the reason for support
information mode? The only thing I have been able to check has
been the memory with function o and read with i twice. Oh and
does anyone know what happens if you do a jkl reset on the apex
if you have the dictionary, nemeth code tutorial and the gps
keys? If I need to do this at some point I don't want to lose my
authorizations.

Subject: [Braillenote] Few miscellaneous things...
Hi folks,
Well, congradulations to Malaina and Carol for getting their Apex
-
especially to Malaina for getting the QT version (is it
32-cell?). Thought I
should write quite a few observations and notes - mostly due to
low list
traffic:
* As for my Apex, it's at home, but I need to send it back to the
closest
dealer (and, eventually back to HW) to see if there is a
possibility of a
repair over there.
* As for Bluetooth, Robert's works and Alex's observations tells
us quite a
few things: Even though the company does not say anything
publically here,
the users' responses and active research by some people deserve
some merit.
I personally agree that more company presence could have enhanced
the image
and communication efforts by the company; however, I'd like to
point out
that most of the "hacks" and problem fixes comes from users'
research, thus
telling me that users are the driving force behind the livelihood
of this
list. In connection with Bluetooth discussion, I'd like to point
out that
the presence of this feature (at least in words) is a right step
forward in
implementing it in the future.
* Quite a few misconceptions I believe need to be addressed
before
continuing on with other things: KeySoft 9.0x is essentially
KeySoft 8.0 on
a new operating system layer. In other words, we are dealing with
an mPower
that looks like an Apex. The "hidden things" that people are
starting to
discover now could set the stage for true product differentiation
between
and mPower and the Apex in the near future. I expect the next
version of
KeySoft to point out the differentiation more clearly. Also, just
because a
product is new and looks more techier does not mean all the bugs
from
previous software is gone - fixing those require time and effort,
as many
people said. This is the chief reason why HW cannot really
"guarantee"
release time. But with the hopes that the new framework is here
in fixng
bugs faster, I expect the company to deliver on time updates -
unless a
serious flaw is discovered right before the firmware is launched.
* As for user and company communication: I see trends that
suggests the
response from HW are slow at times; that is expected, which is a
normal
thing for this time of year. Despite this "lack of response," we
have
"researchers" who are willing to investigate things that a
company rep would
do, such as testing new hardware and software and even going so
far as offer
assistance over Skype. My opinion, then is this: Don't bive up
your
confidence - if the company does not respond to you, perhaps do
believe in
users' posts because I'm sure at least one company rep is writing
our
concerns and at least one user is researching your problem (for
you and
others).
For those who have XP machines: I got a small request/favor for
you - and
that's up next. Sorry if my wording may seem harsh - if that's
the case, I'd
like to apologize.
Cheers,
Joseph
