Hello, I have browsed most of your posts. This post is probably where I got the most useful information for my research. Thanks for posting, maybe we can see more on this.
I’ve had my Pre given that shortly right after release and am glad to discover (by means of this forum) that I can now set a ring tone on incoming text messages and can seek via e-mails and such. Now is there any hope for an upcoming launch in which I can look for my calendar? Would make my job very much much easier, locating dates of final appointments. No other complaints, except that yesterday I used to be in and out of Sprint support (not unusual). I feel I had been roaming, and looked at my calendar. Anything in the calendar was a single hour earlier than what I had input. The clock was one particular hour early as well. I had been afraid to death–then, as soon as we got back into Sprint program again, anything was normalized. Has this happened to any person else?? Searching forward to answers, but please remember, I’m no techie and speak English as opposed to technospeak.
I ought to say that my selection to purchase a Palm Pixi with Sprint program was each a rational and emotional 1. I imply, the Palm Pixi is gorgeous and functional. And coupled while using provider top quality of Sprint, it would seem nothing short of the revolution in the making. I feel that Palm and Sprint have (virtually) hit it off famously. I did a lot of analysis just before obtaining the Pixi but overlooked at lowest one particular factor. The Pixi doesn’t, yet, let me synchronize my e-mails between it and Outlook. As far as I’m concerned, it is a drawback I am facing unless Palm comes up having a option rapidly. With my earlier SmartPhone running a Windows OS, it was a snap to synchronize e-mails as well as other information with one’s Pc. But Pixi’s inability to do so is producing life a small complicated for me simply because I have to Bcc every e-mail, I send out, to my e-mail address after which manually transfer it to the ‘sent’ folder in Outlook. I hope Palm, or at lowest a third-party, will come up which includes a option really soon that may very easily enable me synchronize all my e-mails, and ideally all important data, in between the Pixi and my office Computer.
