I got tired of Sprint too. Have been with them for 5 years and just because I got another type of phone a yr ago they shackled me in for a two yr contract. The coverage has really started lacking in the last year so I made the plunge finally and ordered an iphone. The hard part is cxling the contract and having to drop $200 to do it.

If you ever want out of a cell phone contract, just wait until the next letter you get in the mail changing their contract. You always have 30 days to cancel once you receive one.

Never remember seeing one of those.
What would they normally change?

Things like number of days from bill to payment, late charges, etc. I usually get them 3-4 times a year.

How does a late notice correlate to a contract change?

He's saying when they change their contractual fees for late charges.

LOL, fine. I'll be more clear (as I confused Bob too). I didn't mean ME paying late (of course that never happens ). If they change the percentage they charge for being late or the number of days before a bill is considered late, it's a contract change and they have to send you a notice. At that time you can opt out of the contract.

Default Re: Who has an iPhone ?

I have an iPhone and I couldn't be happier. And I have a total of 51 apps on it. All of them free and unbelievably useful.

I'm a total Apple convert. The iPhone syncs with my MacBook automatically. If I get an email from an inspector and put the cursor over his phone number anc click, his contact info is transferred to my address book and a minute later it's on my iPhone.

Very sweet.

Bob, I don't have any problem looking at my Calendar while on the phone (using bluetooth) on my Sprint Mogul. I don't think any Windows Mobile phones would have a problem here.

No need to hang up. Just say "Let me see", then launch your calendar, then tap the top of the screen to return to the call. Read this.

Default Re: Who has an iPhone ?

Hmmm
I wonder if I can do that on my Blackberry without hanging up as I have been scheduling commercial stuff in advance and forget the times they were scheduled when someone calls for a regular Inspection.
Usually happens while I am already in the middle of one of course (thanks to Murphy's Law)

I have not even figured call waiting yet 20 programs that nobody heard of and primitive at basics (that's me)

Smile Re: Who has an iPhone ?

I have an iphone since February. I really like it and it is a wonderful multi-tool to have. I use it for many things, aside from a cell phone; for appointments and storing info, alarm, internet, GPS, camera, level, compass, etc... Charge it with the car charger on regular basis or via laptop.

Bob.... hit the Blackberry symbol while you are talking on the phone with the person. You might want to hit speaker phone first. It will ask if you want to keep the call going while you look at your applications. You should be able to look at your calendar while talking.
