The tow biggest issues is that it does not have spell check for email (yes you can get a app) and it does not delete the emails from the server. It is no BB with regard to email.

We will see what the 2.2 update archives but if your phone is working I would wait until 2011 for a I-Phone with Verizon.


how did you setup your email? you probably went with the default to never delete your messages (pop3). on imap, by nature you are working on the server so its sync'ed realtime. if corporate email, Good does an amazing job of corporate pushed email that is secured very similar to how BB BES does it.

i never trust spell check since it will sooner or later change a word to something else that i never meant it to be... if its that important, re-read it several times before sending it. if it's not important to have correct grammar/spelling the other party will know what you meant anyways...

Perhaps you should return it and get something that
just works without all the hassle.

just like that apple iphone4 slogan/song right? if you don't like it, return it!

Exactly;

That what I have always done. There are plenty of smart phones
to buy that will fit the needs of every kind of person.

Interesting. I have always looked for places that don't have a no-questions return policy, since any place that does so has to build the cost of that policy into the selling price. I don't like paying for a benefit I won't use, as I tend to research purchases first.

California has a 30 day trial period for cell phone service.
I believe it's a law...

Just think how much that adds to the costs for consumers.

Quicksilver 07-30-2010 01:50 PM

Could be true that it does but i never heard that
it adds anything to the costs for consumers.
So I have no basis for wasting time laying awake
pondering the ramifications of the impose law
(if it is indeed a law at that).....:rofl:

Not sure it is worth the effort to return it.

It is probably the best phone that Verizon offers right now.
If I return it I get hit with a $35 restock fee. My old phone died so I need something. I will probably keep it for a year and then get the new I-Phone.

Most states have some kind of return policy 7 to 30 days.
