I got the Touch Pro with Sprint. It was pushed back and back ordered at first so I got the Diamond initially , but my heart was always with the Touch Pro. I ended up exchanging it for the Touch Pro. Switching from a MotoQ i can attest to the differences in the OS. The only issue I have with it is that for the life of me I can't get it to work with my LEAP network on campus. It won't accept the certificate or authenticate so I'm stuck without WiFi on campus.
Only other issue is that I have a MBP so there is no native software to sync with. I have used both Missing Sync and Syncmate and I think Syncmate is more functional, although a bit newer (read: has bugs/problems still). |

Anybody have any info on HTC Fuze?
My ATT contract is up and thinking about upgrading from my Blackjack II. |
I got one 2 days before its official release and all I can say is .... sex. As with any Winmo phone it sucks out of the box but with all the tweaks and apps you can find on the web it is a real beast of a phone. :toocool: |

Yeah the operators have HORRIBLE roms. They are bloated full of and run like .
Oh and Bobby: If you need to back your up, get PPCPimBackup. It is made for Windows Mobile. I am unsure if it works for the BJ or not. |

I don't want to be tied to email any more than I have to. Everyone I know with a Blackberry is attached at the hip to it - it's like a tool for obsessive-compulsives. I want a phone that can make calls, send texts, and serve as an alarm. The day I check my work email from my phone on the Metro is the day life has become too serious. |

I prefer to have a work phone and a personal for this reason. So I can leave the work device at home when I am away from work. It works out well. |

I have to say... I can't agree more. I refuse to make the jump for the same reasons. Pretty much all of my friends have a blackberry or something of the like, and they are slaves to them. Some of them are degenerate gamblers too so they're also constantly checking updated sports scores and stats when we're out on a weekend.. annoys the out of me and when I see people I don't even know doing the same thing. I refresh my email inbox enough when I'm sitting in front of a regular computer... I can't imagine how much worse my curiosity would get if I had that convenience at my fingertips 24-7. |

Completely agree. Just having a cell phone is annoying enough for me. |

I think it's so unnecessary to have a work phone as well as a personal phone. (Unless your work consists of you being able to be contacted 24/7) You work for 8 hours, you shut off your computer or shut down the cash register and away you go.
And I agree with the whole if I have to be checking my email on the train and can't wait until I get home or to work life is a little too controlled. I leave my house so I don't have to be around the intertubes every second, some people don't know how to let go. |

| heh, i kind of felt the same way when i had the Blackberry for a day. as convenient as i thought it might be to be able to check e-mail whenever i wanted, i realized very quickly that it wasn't necessarily such a good thing. |

| I don't even have my email setup on mine. I don't have any need for it. I can check it later when I get home or I can check it via the web from my phone. I rarely ever check my mail on my phone. |
