- I too have heard numerous reports about email issues on Androids platform; especially Yahoo email (go figure). I thought hard about jumping to Android before I upgraded from my Tour to my Bold. I run a couple of side businesses along with my real job and email is too important to put into another platforms hands. And my company will not allow Android or iPhone on the Enterprise network due to security risks. That should tell you something.09-26-10 08:29 AMLike 0

Every platform has its issues, and if we only took issues in consideration, we'd never buy anything.

- So I guess you never experienced a BIS outage before? How's your email service when the BIS servers are down?09-26-10 02:11 PMLike 0

- My AT&T rep informed that the captivate is not the seller they had hoped. Most still chose the iPhone over a droid or torch. Interesting.09-26-10 03:05 PMLike 0

Maybe it's just me but everywhere I see on TV, movies/shows, news/sports casters, celebs etc all sporting a MacBook Pro in front of them or even waving around an iPod Touch or iPhone while on the move? Apple is obviously pushing their products to the public's eyes. Clever market strategy, but it's very annoying after a while.09-26-10 03:10 PMLike 0 - Only last weekend a mate came over to mine about 11pm just to show me his HTC Desire. All he could show me were silly apps like one that makes siren noises or some other non important stuff. Asked him to send me 2 emails... one to my gmail and one to my yahoo mail... they both took 10 minutes to get sent from the phone... exactly 10 mins to send a 1kb message saying "test"... what a joke. He also has a bold he uses for work.. sent me the email from it and received it in 5 - 10 secs on my 8520.
I then sent him one to receive on his gmail... dude tried to trick me and was pressing REFRESH thinking i wouldnt notice... it ain't push... Android is pull i.e it polls at set intervals unlike BB that pushes it to u. Plus all the time he was at mine he was chatting on his BB messenger.
Don't believe the people telling u otherwise... they have no choice and are forcing themselves to believe its on par with BB when they very well know its not.
BB rules ok!09-26-10 03:16 PMLike 0 - I agree. I was all set to use my upgrade on the captivate until the rep there kept saying how poor the battery life was and how many have returned theirs. I appreciated the rep being forthcoming with information, but I have a hard time trying to decide what has merit and what doesn't.

Only reason he hasnt responded yet is he had to do a battery pull and its still loading .......09-26-10 03:47 PMLike 0 -
- You can have full push e-mail for all your accounts. Using Gmail as your own personal push mail server | Android Central09-26-10 04:13 PMLike 0
- Once again were faced with zealots trying to stay loyal to a stagnant platform...seriously fellas, you should really try a better argument than "bb has better email" its just not true anymore...at least on the same level it was a year or two ago - I have yet to see a compelling argument to stay with bb if your not forced to do so
