Holy crap.

This phone is more awesome than I has envisioned.

The only knock I have is that I used Outlook Notes all the time on my Blackberry and it auto-sync'd with my MS Exchange account.

Droids do not.

This may be a problem with me.

My data guy was the same way.... lol

Funny how everyone has the same issues.

I don't know if there is anything to help you with the built in Email program.

Have you thought about the app Touchdown? It syncs with "Tasks". That is what he used to create notes in both places. Not the same.... But it's close.

Did anyone see the new Data pricing tiers launched by AT&T This week???

It is unbelievable how bad their network is right now.

$30 unlimited data packages are a thing of the past...

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010...ited-smartphone-data-announces-cheaper-rates/

Ladies and Gentleman, unlimited smartphone data from AT&T is a thing of the past. Or at least it will be as of June 7th. Starting that day, AT&T will introduce two new data plans to replace its current $30 unlimited smartphone plan. Without a bunch of preamble and crying over the changes, here’s the skinny on the plans that AT&T says will make it possible for “more affordable for more people to enjoy the benefits of the mobile Internet.”

Verizon will be right behind.

Actually, VZW is ahead.....

They announced on 5/27 that they will have tiered pricing when 4G (LTE) launches.

My guess is that they will keep their competitive advantage until then as a way to stick it to the death star.

Anytime...... you need to give it up on your pimping out of your employer verizon. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinion and not everyone shares the same deep love and passion for verizon that you evidently have, although something tells me this also has to do with the name on your paycheck

I love my Iphone and just ended a bad experience with Verizon. I will stay with AT&T even if Verizon gets the Iphone. My plan was to switch to Verizon when they got the Iphone, but no more. They have shown their true colors. Verizon is great customer service until you really you really need them. If you want to pimp Verizon because you work for them, go for it. But not everyone agrees and it is our money and our choice to make. I have made mine. This whole thread is you pimping Verizon. I love my Iphone.

What exactly happened? In most cases we are committed to a common solution.

How about you PM me the details to keep it private. I can actually look and see what happened. And I promise to give you a non-powder-puff answer.

:shrug:

And of course I am pimping them.... I have a pile of proof that they are better. lol

Nothing wrong with that.

No thanks, I am done with them. You think they are better, I don't. Your pile of proof means nothing to me. I have my own opinion. You have yours It is no better than mine, I am just more objective since I don't work for them, or pimp for them. I am cool with my Iphone and service.

That's fine dude....

I just don't think you can be objective if you have a personal grudge. You said they didn't help you when you "really, really, needed it". That seems mighty personal to me, and it just happened to be Big Red that you were talking to. It could have been the Death Star just the same IMO.

But your entitled to your opinion.

That's why I am posting third party stuff. I even said that my opinion means very little. Analysts, and investors are pretty much in agreement with the title of this thread.

Try canceling your Verizon service and see if you think they are better.

They basically blackmailed us into paying an extra fee, it was cheaper than taking them to court and fighting and they knew it.

They charged our Amex and when we questioned it they wouldn't respond to us or Amex so Ame canceled the charge, then there threatened to send it to collections after and still refusing to explain why we owed them.

They permanently lost a customer that day rather than temporarily lost one.

Verizon Landline and Verizon Wireless are to completely separate companies.....

With that being said, I have a few personal things that happened to me that made me refuse to shop or give someone my business.

I understand that.

Since I have worked for three (AT&T 7yrs, T-Mo 2 yrs, & VZW 3yrs) of the big 4 companies I can safely say that the billing issues you detailed, and the customer service response you received, could have come from any one of them. It just so happened to be big red.

Sounds like you had a bad experience though.... I don't fault you for having those thoughts and feelings.

No clue.... I would think the newest phones will be out by September. Unfortunately, VZW has made a huge tactical mistake with these KIN phones. Man do they suck. Windows seems to be building everything around them at the moment.

Once they decide to retreat, Windows 7 will follow IMO.

Do you have to have a Windows mobile phone for work??

I love the Zune service but I heard the same thing about those Kin phones that you said. What I want is a Kin that's not a piece of junk.

Must Haves: Zune music service, wi-fi, nice camera, possibly sync to outlook calendar and email, interested in sharepoint.

Droid X..... Wow.

iPhone 4...... ehhhhh.

I played with the Evo a week ago. It was a pretty nice device.

Anyone notice that Slingbox Mobile came to android this week??? AWESOME APP!!!!!!!!

"We increased both the graphics and processor performance by over 80 percent," Carlson said in a phone interview, adding that the new process along with chip design tweaks allowed TI to also lower power consumption between 30 percent and 50 percent, depending on what the user is doing.

Nice....

TI also supplies the silicon that enables the built-in Wi-Fi hot spot, which allows the Droid X to connect up to five devices, much like the portable credit-card-size Verizon MiFi access point. This is a "killer" feature also found in a few newer high-end phones such as the HTC EVO 4G and obviates the need for a separate device like the Verizon MiFi.

Another marquee feature TI includes in its silicon is support for DLNA, or Digital Living Network Alliance, which enables the Droid X to stream video to a home consumer electronics device, such as a TV. "With a high-definition video recorder, HDMI output, and with wireless (DNLA) streaming directly from the device, this is going to change how these devices are used," Carlson said.

The Droid X is going to be another special device......
