Dell Webcam Central did not come with P3 or was on Dell Support site. It look Purple uninstall it off netbook when add P3 and ship out.

That why I struggle to find it today then found and put Webcam Central back on Netbook and finally pop up Dell adjust camera better than P3 own adjust camera.

Maybe so but it did not automatically pop up when I start P3. Webcam Central effect and setting menu will auto pop up and will overide block P3 camera setting.

Before install clean XP only can use P3 camera settings to change but still was too dark. Nothing automatically pop up Webcam Central when start P3 and I never saw Webcam Central in Start Menu.

Maybe I am blind overlook it.

Now after clean XP and added Webcam Central, when start P3 Webcam Central automatically start same time with P3 and disable P3 camera setting so have to use Webcam Central to change settings which much better than P3 camera settings.

Plus my friends laughing funny I use Webcam special effects adding long hair or cat face etc smiles ...

Has anyone had trouble with the d-link router? It took all day to set up, it would not let me connect although the netbook said it was connected. My husband tried, now it says another name, not handsonvrs like it used to.

Does it work with a ethernet wire from netbook to router? If yes, then it is the wireless settings that need adjusting. If no, then .... you need someone there who knows how to set it up.

LDNanna · 09-12-2009, 10:41 PM

It does work now, but the settings seem different. Where do I find the specs that it came with? Does it really matter as long as it connects?

cinncook · 09-13-2009, 03:14 PM

There seems to be no mention about using a bb as a pam. Is it possible to hook up my blackberry via USB for the P3 Purple netbook to pick up the network via my BB? I use my BB on my laptop (regular PC laptop --- not a netbook) to get onto the internet when I am on the road. I have data only plan so why not. Can I do the same for the netbook? has any one try it?

Thanks.

cinncook · 09-13-2009, 03:16 PM

I mean sometimes there would be places where no wifi access is found so using a bb as a pam would be handy.

cinncook · 09-13-2009, 03:44 PM

what is the maximum default size of RAM available on P3 Netbook? And there is no limit to how much I could plug in my memory card or flash drive to the netbook, correct? And is anything downloadable? Where will they have to go? to the memory card/flash drive? No hard drive on the netbook, correct?

thanks again...

Netbooks do have a hard-drive, just no optical or floppy drives.

Getting a discontinued Dell Mini-12 next week. Wee!

That's impossible to answer without knowing the specs. If you got the router from Purple then call them to find out.

Yes it will work. Video was slow on my P3 through an 8703e BB. Don't know if it is faster with a newer BB. The text relay works fine through the BB too.

RAM up to 2 GB on Mini 9 version, on newer netbook it is not upgradeable.

flash drive=any size

memory card= I don't know

Hard drive = SSD (Mini 9) ; HDD in Mini 10 I think.

because cellular wireless has high latency than DSL and some of dial up so not good for video chat, I believe that Sprint WiMax maybe has better latency.

Yes. Sprint 3G/4G USB modem is better bandwidth than BB. But data plan is costly.

That's incorrect, 3G in BB and USB stick are not difference, only 4G WiMax USB stick is huge difference.
