Hmmm... namecalling and insulting people. Robert M. must be turning
into an apologist.

Show me where I said that I "know nothing about A500 issues."

Not suggestions, not inferences, but those exact words.

If you're gonna play that game, so will I.

Still waiting for an apology rather than childish insults. 5 posts, you
said one.

With the exception of taping your phone to your ear, sorry, none.

That's just the way the phone was designed.

Now *that* was a fast respone... Both Jason's *and* yours!

Because it is considered an old model, I'm not gonna hold
my breath, waiting for an update.

Fortunately, it's more of a "behind the scenes" bug, rather
than an "in your face" one.

Again, thanks for all the info!

No answer? OK, it looks like I'll have to answer my own question. <g>

The answer is "no."

I just spoke to Tech Support. Apparently, the Calendar and my phone,
and the online Calendar, are two different systems.

Too bad... I think it'd be real nice to be able to access my online
Calendar while on the road.

Oh well.

The airline doesn't bill me according to speed, so I have no need
to see it. Sprint bills me for Vision by the kilobyte, so I have a
legitimate fiduciary need to track Vision usage.

Remember the article I posted about Comcast? Their users can't track it,
either.

And Executive Services is nothing more than an escalation group for CS.
Spin it any way you want- they don't know everything.

Not true- I think you're a moron, and you prove it every day.

Now you're back in legitimate territory. Getting it to work on the=20

we're working on getting that running.

Executive Services, if they told you that, was wrong. That it isn't=20
tracked.

They do (roughly) by distance. They don't tell you how far you fly,=20

I haven't ignored it. I addressed it. Anybody thinking it's=20
selective enforcement is wrong. Just as police will let drug users=20

acted accordingly. There's nothing saying they won't shift it=20

is, because ALL of it if against the T&C's.

That's a pretty far stretch, and not really worthy of you.
You also conveniently failed to address the second part:

That could just as easily be said of speeders. Doesn't stop that=20
policy, does it?

No matter how hard you try to obfuscate, and to create cabals where=20
none exist, the limit is zero. Use it, at all, and you are subject=20
to cancellation. Most likely of just the unlimited Vision pack, but=20
possibly even up and including all service.

You make up a bad one, and then you want to change the definition of
analogy too?

Fact facts, SprintPCS is totally illogical in how it handles
using a cell phone as modem with its Wink-Wink-Nudge-Nudge policy,
of it don't support it, but go ahead.

Nobody is told "We don't support driving", to make an approriate analogy.
