BTW - VOLT! - User these settings with the server 'thcnet.net' and SSL and you can check your THC over your 'Droid phone. :-) It doesn't support imap folders very well at all, so you can read/respond, but message/folder management would have to happen at a later time.

Hah! One thing my Pre does better... though I can't send now.. I get an odd error that flashes away to be replaced by an error that says it didn't work. I think it's a bug in webos though. can someone verify that sending from their phone works so I know the right thing to troubleshoot?

Not exactly a ringing endorsement. :P

And for that matter.. I was able to test it and send mail to outside domains with no problem. So.. yeah Android!

BTW - Volt - you get your OTA update yet?

I don't know what that is. Droid OS? If so, then no. Is there a way to request "pull" it down or is it pushed by the service? Note: talking about once it's live, not hax0ring in advance. ;)

I sing. I dance. I am a simple man.

Yea, I wouldn't buy a Pre, knowing what I know now.

Probably a droid. Has the keyboard.

I'm actually thinking of ditching the smartphone thing... I really don't justify its use outside of work. Hell, if I could get away with it, I'd get a $0.99 phone and just forward everything over to my work phone and be done with it...

Well, ask Volt if he like his smartphone now, instead of the normal phone he had before. In another thread he was a fan of a phone being a phone and that's it. He might have another opinion now that he's had one for a month or two.

Me - it's a great GREAT tool. maps, gps, mail, contacts, all that all in one small package and I don't have to remember to do something until i get home to get on a computer to do it. Hell, I was out at a job site and needed to make a change to something back in the office, connected the smart phone over wifi and used that GRPS connection and a VPN to get back to the main office. you can't do that with a normal phone. It's the bomb. Totally worth it in my opinion.

And, sadly enough, my Nexus got misplaced/stolen/lost in Spain last weekend so I'm back on my Hero and missing it already. I might look at the Milestone/Droid and see if that keyboard really is that much of a help.

It's goddamn fantastic. Although I am far less of a power-user than you guys would be with all your fancy VPN SSH ABC whatever. I mostly got it because it had basic phone functionality (including text messages), internet access (primarily Google maps), and music (so I don't have to carry my iPod).
