How do I retrieve this damned mail?
Like it would matter how many bars you have, considering the display says you are accessing on Wi-Fi. I get three or more bars just about all of the time, too bad it is on EDGE and not 3G.
I get three bars on my AT&T phone all the time and have received e-mail from Steve Jobs. And I can prove both those things if you'd like.
You forgot to start with "Hello." :yes:Quote:

I could turn a corner and go from 5 bars to zero in an instant losing the call. Knew 4 places like that. The last year, most calls lasted under 2 minutes. They always got cut off and I rarely saw 4 bars let alone 5.
Verizon? Not much better. Gonna try PCS Metro or T-Mobile next time. Something has to be working. I actually see other people talking on their phones. Sometimes in an elevator!
Hah! Well, you asked for it:Quote:

No, but please give Richard my best. I've read his poetry since high school.

Steve--
A friend of mine came up with an interesting question: could Richard Brautigan's "iDeath" been an inspiration, subliminal or otherwise, for the origin of the iMac, iPod etc?

I had AT&T when they were still the original AT&T Wireless. Never a major problem.Quote:

And then they refused to discontinue service. Ended up charging us for an extra month on each phone. Thought I had THAT straightened out, then started getting more bills... for some 'administrative fee.' They threatened to take us to court. I told them to show proof we owed the money. They sent a copy of the bill with no further documentation. Spoke with the local magistrate, he told me that if they walked into his courtroom with only that, they would lose and get laughed at. Never heard from Cingular again.
Now that they've bought the rest of the old AT&T, and renamed themselves, we keep getting letters begging us to come back. Well, as long as they want to keep spending the money, I'll take their junque mail... and compost it.
I have AT&T, no problems, no complaints. Where I live, they're the only choice coverage wise.

AT&T is a great choice if one is located in a remote area, or is a globe trotter. For those who hang mostly around urbanized areas, VZW has them beat hands down for reliability, and speed (For data).Quote:

Which "fancy" phone did you have? The new lines of "fancy phones" are actually a HUGE step up from what they were. I waited forever to get a smart phone because my sense was spoiled due to the Treo 750w. My LG Ally even was a breath of fresh air.Quote:

So, I bought the Ally, and pretty much stopped using the hardware keyboard. The soft keyboard was a dream to use (The iPhone has a pretty sweet virtual keyboard too. Better than the stock Android one, but peanuts compared to Swype), so I upgraded to a phone with no hardware keyboard.
The RAZR is a nice phone though, I'd hang on to it forever as well. I loved the speakerphone on it.
Heh, Verizon has decided I'm suddenly eligible for an upgrade even though I wasn't until July. I guess they want me to get an iPhone.
A lot of people on VZW are getting those early-upgrade pushes for the iPhone. Sales did not quite meet expectations from what I gather (To be expected).Quote:

See, my company's sales folks all use Blackberry's. And last year, when the contract was up, we switched from Verizon to Sprint. The IT department now has a box of paid for, perfectly good, Verizon-network Blackberry's... I can get one from my boss cheap.
...no, I can't get one for you cheap, sorry... his rules, not mine...
We have many timing devices and capacitors in the Blackberry. Its success is my company's success.Quote:
