I haven’t been using Outlook Notes – nor Outlook anything.

Verizon has a Wireless data synch that works with other phones – https://www11.wirelesssync.vzw.com/

Lets you hit everything from a bigger screen / keyboard.

Android really assumes you can reach out through the cloud to get everything you need. So it supports server side Exchange email/contacts just fine, but getting at notes and tasks stored locally within an Outlook install doesn’t fit the model. If you also store your email and contacts locally to Outlook you’ll have trouble there too.

I’m looking for a way to sync (or replace) Outlook notes, for example, because I used them heavily under the palm/outlook sync model. Haven’t found it yet, but I’ve only been playing with this new toy for about 5 hours.

Verizon dings you for another $30 a month data plan if you didn’t have it before. They won’t let you just have it and work off the WiFi. A Verizon problem not a phone problem.

I live in Houston, and a number of times I’ve had co-workers talk down AT&T and talk up whatever they used, only to be able to make calls and get data where they can’t.

I’ve been using HTC products the last two years though, and I believe the phone makes a lot of difference with regard to reception.

I feel your pain, and I’m a AT&T employee..(hence the anonymous post).

Strong rumor has it that Verizon is working out a deal with Apple to use the iphone. Expected time frame is early next spring.

Good luck.

PS I don’t work in the wireless group, and I have to use AT&T’s wireless service…..

But there’s an app to close them called TasKiller.

I love it. MSFT finally has a competitor to the iPhone, and it has all the same bullshit quirks that Windows has, including needing a program to unfuck the poor programming on other programs that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

I’m thinking of replacing it with the Droid but there are a couple of things I need to find out first. Lucky me, I can ask you.

I currently use Verizon’s system that pushes my email down to the phone. Does the Droid work with that or is it GMail only?

Also is there anything like a desktop for on your PC? Back when I had a Palm-based phone I had the Palm desktop – quite handy for keyboard intensive things like fiddling with contacts. The current phone is Windows 6 based and there really isn’t a desktop unless you want to use a lot of cruddy MS apps.

The Droid looks really good from my five minutes playing with it.

Rabbit.

If I give up the iPhone it will be because of this. I love the iPhone, but AT&T sucks monkey balls.

I finally broke down and got an iPhone in June after waiting for T-mobile to release a decent android phone. I’m really kicking myself now with the droid being released by Verizon. I hate supporting Apple and their closed source and big brother business model.
