Uhh... I've been doing that on my iPhone and on my Motorola SLVR before that. Probably... oh... two plus years now.

Oh right... you're a windows user, huh?

Android doesn't sync to desktop. It syncs to Gmail/Contacts/Calendar/etc. So there's never any kludgy intermediary step between your devices, and you aren't tied to a particular software suite based on support from your device.

Nice attempt at the Mac superiority line, though.

It wasn't a mac superiority line, it was a simple observation that the problem has already been solved. I'm sure the problem has been solved for blackberry users, too - particularly if you're on exchange.

My iPhone syncs directly over the air as well.

Of course there are intermediaries -- it's just Google this time.

Yes, I'm a Windows user, like 95% of the world. Shame on me for not sticking out like a sore thumb in every, single thing I do. ;-)

You've been syncing to google with one login for 2 years now? That is cool.

Um, T-Mobile. Did you see the movie?

Hmmm.... I heard about this recently. I'm in the market for a new phone. But, I keep wondering how buggy the first iteration is going to be. I've heard about a few issues with the iPhone. I wonder how soon reviews are going to be available for it.....

I'm not a tech nerd, but the iPhone doesn't have copy-paste. That was enough for me to not get it. The thing about most technology now is that they seem to have on-the-fly updates, so [shrug]... does that help?

Why not try it?

The iPhone apparently does not display MMS text messages. Plus there are some iPhones that have issues displaying the time properly. K's phone frequently doesn't know what time it really is. Often it's 15 minutes off. At his housewarming party one of his guests said that he had been having the same issue with his. So, it sounds like it's not exactly a unique issue. And this is with the 2nd gen iPhone at that!

I'm definitely curious about all the whizz bang pop features of the Google Phone. The problem is.... if it sucks or has some annoying bug I'm stuck with it for the next two years. K's old smart phone had a tendency to freeze and turn off spontaneously... It made it hard to get a hold of him sometimes when it was sitting in his pocket for hours unsuspectingly in an unresponsive state. :\

Oh, that is balls.

K? Why aren't names used in LJ anymore?
