Tell that to my Blackberry Storm Verizon. I do a lot of travelling to rural areas, and your 3G service has been less than stellar. I'm not exactly thrilled to have to rely on my Pre for data and tethering when my damned company-paid Blackberry storm is roaming on US Cellular.

Get bent.

I'm not quite sure what it is about that interface that makes me say... wow. It's quite slick. I'm not seeing much for third party support, though, and that's all that matters these days. :/

I see nothing misleading or confusing about these ads.

lulz... My FastMac battery did the same thing. I have been waiting for a replacement now for 8months. I've got a picture of it somewhere. I duct-taped it shut. I probably shouldn't be using it anymore, but... I gets me by for those short 20 min sessions. I've gone through 5 batteries in 3 yrs. Needless to say, I think the 15" Macbook Pro 1,1 had a battery-raping bug defect that never got resolved.

It looks like the Nokia Surge..

This totally should've qualified for a "CE-Oh No He Didn't" title.

The question should read: How would you change Windows Mobile 6.5 for smartphones? Our DC uses scanners running Windows Mobile 6.1 and they work great. I use a Pre a Storm, and I used to use an iPhone 3GS. At the end of the day, the consumer friendly phones work great for non-business applications, but when you REALLY NEED TO WORK, Windows Mobile and Symbian are the best, hands down.

Add support for multiple exchange accounts, make IE better, and for the love of god, can we get an updated version of Pocket Outlook?

For $30, I'd just invest in a copy of PDANet. Screw that horse honkey. At the same time though, I can appreciate Verizon giving the *option* to tether. *cough* Sprint just canned theirs.

Wow what a bunch of optimists. I don't know about you guys, but I'm I'll be waiting for the Fark article about some drunk bumpkin ruining the whole thing with his F-150.

I love my Hero and Android... and there are many great apps, but until we see bigger companies developing the same kinds of apps for Android as we see for the iPhone, I'm not celebrating yet. This is a great step in the right direction, though.

A friend and I were comparing our phones this afternoon, talking about the things I can do on Android that he can't do on his iPhone 3GS, and vice versa. Then he slaps this one on me:

"my starbucks card was empty and i save like 60 cents when i use it over cash so i opened up my starbucks app hit the reload button and was done all while standing in line to order my latte. try doing that on a preblackwindowsdroid phone."

My first thought was, oh whatever. But then it occurred to me that while people make fun of the crappy app store apps (and believe me, there are plenty) I don't think enough credit is given to the good ones. Granted his situation isn't one I'd experience, but the idea of having such a converged experienced like that makes me slightly envious.

Now this doesn't speak for everything, but it made me think.
