Robb please mark the date. Even though it has little to do with the current thread, must say I am in agreement with bluehorseshoe and jhp2 on their thought about M$ devices (after also giving M$ many chances to prove itself, and it's failure to do so) Also agree about the current and ongoing sad state of Palm devices too, though never thought my 650 Palm was anywhere close as good as my 8700 BB... Now if that 8700 only had a camera, and played as nice with the MacOS. Not that it matters but why would RIM with the new BB8130 only support TIA-856 Rev A? It hardly matters though since voda/verizon have already said they are upgrading to GSM/LTE, which is coming soon to break the closed, proprietary cdma chain as industry is moving away from the Qualcomm dominated CDMA air-interface, to the standard, open global GSM family of technologies LTE.

I tether on the 7130 and it works well but it is not rev A, so I get right about 400K most of the time. Most of my co-workers that have a Pearl are on the corporate T-Mo plan so tethering really is not an option due to data speeds. I like the trackball idea a lot as I used Treo's for years and when I switched to the BB, I developed one heck of a case of BB thumb. Used to have to ice it nightly so I am glad to have another option. Interestingly, we are no longer going to upgrade the BES at work and are being encouraged to go to Windows devices. Unfortunately, the VZW Q is a toy not a corporate device. Blue,

Just a Tiny Bit Submitted by Ed Hardy on Friday, February 03, 2006 Verizon users have been complaining for years that this carrier disables Dial-Up Networking (DUN) on many of the devices it offers.

Submitted by Ed Hardy on Friday, February 03, 2006

Verizon users have been complaining for years that this carrier disables Dial-Up Networking (DUN) on many of the devices it offers.

This means that they can’t be used as a wireless modem for other devices, like a laptop.

Now, for the first time, Verizon’s hard-line stance has cracked, if only a little bit.

According to PC Magazine, this carrier is now allowing users of just a few of its mobile phones to have access to DUN.

Unfortunately, none of these are Palm OS or Pocket PC models.

And users are expected to pay heavily for the service. It costs $60 a month, on top of any other services one has subscribed to.

Also, users are expected to use a cable, not Bluetooth, although many of them could use this short-range wireless networking standard.

Still, surely many Verizon customers will take this as a sign that the carrier might relent more in the future.

(Those in the know, realize vzw is being forced to allow DUN, as vzw upgrades to the GSM family of technologies)
