well allow me to retort why would i give u my account access when i don't know u that's like askin me to stick my tongue in some chicks cornhole that's just not gonna happen .. secondly i let sprint do it cause they seem professional when it comes to matters like that thats why i gave it to them in the 1st place i highly doubt that want a law suit on their hands for breach of privacy besides they already tried it and it didn't work what makes u think u can get it to work besides like i stated i dun have the phone anymore not bashing u or talkin down to u but i'm just being honest ..

if I had it and messed something up id give u my address so u can come and beat my ass jaja anyway with that said in the second part of that post I said something that may have been y u had problems, there's an option within hotmail that if checked will cause sync issues. go and check that maybe and if that's the case id feel really stupid for not pointing that out before as the result of this led to the loss of another one to the dark side.

dude i like star wars as much as the next geek but when u start using terms like the dark side that sounds retarded you ain't yoda and i damn sure ain't darth vader i like wp just as much as the next person .. btw i said i would return to wp when they figured their stuff out cause apparently htc, ms or sprint employee's know jack about their products or else i wouldn't have opted for the evo in the 1st place but with that said i am a man of my word when i said i would return ...

Just because a phone works perfectly for one person does not mean it will be the same for another. Some people just don't understand this issue. In my opinion Windows iPhone 7 sucks compared to Android. Good luck in whatever you choose!

I'm sorry to hear about your Exchange issues. I have had a SBS Premium 2003 Server for quite a few years and been using Exchange Activesync on all of my previous Windows phones without issue. When I hooked up the Arrive it worked first time like I expected. I'd check some settings to see what might be wrong.

I stopped by the Verizon store today to see some of their Android phones for fun since I hadn't been in there to see some of them in person such as the Thunderbolt & Incredible 2. I marvelled at how slow they were compared to this Arrive. What I did was reboot some of them and then they magically were faster. Apps and screens didn't load/scroll as smoothly as my Arrive even after that fresh reboot unfortunately. I'm glad I stuck with Microsoft on this one. I'm confident the updates will be worth the wait even though the phone works pretty well as is.

1st dtrush i'm glad u like ur arrive and stuck with it .. but aggie is right what works for some might not work for everything and i dunno why i couldn't get my contacts over and why i had so many problems with mines but u'd think companies like ms,htc and sprint would have known how to get around all that by now ..

did u try going through hotmail again? in there is an option that if checked can cause synching issues, go back and check that. I bet that was the issue and I would hate it if it was for not saying it sooner.

[rrjskj]

under what clean up ur contacts yeah i was just in there and there's no dupes anywhere their all single contacts and the numbers are there but like i said when i add my hotmail account to it it doesn't show up as single contacts they show up as dupes with no numbers like i said b4 gmail does the same thing and htc and sprint recommended i use gmail but i used hotmail as my primary like i stated b4 i just dont get it how can my evo pull em up without dupes and the numbers showing . another thing i got an interesting package in the mail today i thought when u took a phone back to a sprint store they was suppose to send it back to sprints depot not back to the customer am i the only 1 thats had that happen ??? :S :S

My company uses self-signed certifcates which requires a higher level of security so the Windows iPhone 7 OS requires that the certificate include all keys which is a HUGE pain in the ass because our IT Admin would have to request them from our godaddy server.

Regardless, my Epic has had ZERO problems since I started using it, it's perfect for ME, and I didn't have to wait for 2 or 3 updates on my Windows iPhone 7 to get where I am today on Android. Good luck!

It's not an IPhone! Just Windows 7. No "I".

This is not an off-topic forum nor is it phone comparison.

There is some obvious trolling afoot and we need to play nice.

Some like Android, some like WP7, some like iOS; this thread has nothing to do with comparing them.

If you want to compare operating systems or phone please use the correct forum and don't come in here hoping to incite a riot.

We've done some clean-up as well.
