Fucking hell. Double time I assume? If so, then that is worth it.

Been going to black friday for the last 13 or so years. Haven't missed a sale. With the way the ads are, and especially the microsoft cashback ebay promotion right now... I don't even think I'll bother this year. (unless the ads change )

Originally posted by gehzumteufel It is. HTC phones will never compete with the bb if you are just trying to save money. If you are all about the bang for your buck go get a moto q or something. They are like $100 on 2yr contract. The BB only wins on price. Nothing more. And if price is a driving factor for everything, then go buy whatever is cheapest. You get what you pay for.

Dude, you are completely wrong. We disagree with each other alot, but on this topic you are completely wrong. You are comparing a Q vs a Blackberry Storm? come on seriously? The Storm only wins on price??? How do you know that the storm sucks? Have you used it? I would have to say not since very few places even have demos out yet. How much better is the Pro vs the Storm? Please tell me why its literally worth twice as much. Please don't list features that i can give a rat's ass about.

I know, i was joking. The black friday ads are very lame this year. The only thing that's exciting is the Storm coming out this friday.

GC will match any price that can be verified through an authorized dealer (online or physical store, does not have to be local). Got $100 off each of my CDJ800's, but had to email a local authorized dealer that appeared on Pioneer's website. Took the email to GC, they called to confirm and it was a done deal!

The OS is shit, Native code runs faster, java sucks, the phone feature never was very good. Is that good enough? Oh and I have seen the damn things (BBs in general) break a good amount. Not that they constantly break like LGs or some Motorola models, but I have never seen a BB take the beatings that I have seen MANY HTC phones take. Oh and should I care to mention the slow moving of adding features? ugh I hate BBs so much. They have progressively gotten better, but they are still far behind.

Can you get push email on the HTC?

You could do it with the old PPC6700 if you used the update that was posted by Verizon and Sprint for it.

MSFP (Microsoft Feature Pack) enabled this in Exchange 2003 and is part of Exchange 2003 Service Pack 1. So unless your company is running Exchange 2000 or is not installing service packs as they should be, you are covered.

I will concede that Windows Mobile 5.x sucked for exhange push.

I have 7 email accounts between work (exchange), gmail, my own hosted domain, etc. I get everything pushed to my Blackberry. I get messages on all of the accounts within seconds. I've tested all of them. I don't know what RIM changed lately but its great. Gmail shows up on my Blackberry via IMAP before I even see it in the web browser on a desktop. I have my domain hosted by ICD and those emails show up immediately. RIM use to poll the pop accounts every 10 minutes but not any more at least with my accounts. Once you get use to that, its hard for me to go back to non-push email.

Same thing with facebook. Just installed the myspace for Blackberry yesterday so I will have to see about that.

I guess it depends on what you use a phone for but for me its messaging, calendar, and talking. For that, its hard to beat Blackberry IMO.

fucking hell. And I thought I was bad with 6 email accounts (5 of which are basically spam accounts lol) and my other services. I mostly use my phone for browsing, IM, some email, texting and calling. I haven't setup my email on the phone I have right now (I bought a new phone via craigslist a few months ago) as I am still fucking with the software (damnit for me being a nerd) a bit.

And the imap for gmail is still not being correctly detected to be imap instead of pop (as of the software revision that my phone has 6.1.20748.1.4.0) as of yet. I think they have corrected it in the rev that is on the touch pro though I am unsure.

this year just like last year the offerings for BF suck, its either that or there is nothing i need/want. Other than a new washer.. but the deals are still not as good as 2 years ago..

Windows Mobile is not done by HTC. Therefore they are at the mercy of M$. RIM on the other hand is the creator of their own OS. This gives them the flexibility of being able to do TONS more than they do, improve the OS, and give a valuable product that is not just good for email.

I'm confused??? are you proving my point? From what I understand from your post is that RIM is intentionally putting out bad software.

Hmm look at the results of the phone running MS software:

wow i though i was bad with 3! I did see the blackberry myspace app. That looks pretty sweet. Right now i have the Env, which is great, but i have to replace the battery since its pretty much dying. I rather just replace the phone at this time lol.

If you Env is green, hit up Michelle. She has an extra battery. She has a silver Env now.

They are email centric and nothing is good outside of that. How was that not clear?

Also, all but 1 of those tests were addon apps. Not related to MS directly that still suck quite bad, including Opera and FF mobile. They even left out an EASY, FREE, and PUBLIC piece of browsing software that has been available easily for 3 months. Skyfire. MUCH better browser than any of the ones out there. I use it, and the whole community uses it. It renders EVERYTHING properly, fully, supports flash, java, etc. So compare web browsers, and it wins hands down.

The Virgin Megastores at Ontario Mills and The Block in Orange are closing and everything is on sale!

Wow, no sh@%...

That will kinda jack the Ontario Mills alot! I think that's a main reason to go there.

Only thing is, A Virgin Megastore sale is like normal price everywhere else.

Ontario Mills used to be good for one thing (ok, two).. Gameworks..and Dave&Busters.

Now there is one closer.
