Realizing that 64Mb SD card from my 2yr old Voyager just doesn't look appealing anymore so now I'm shopping for an 8 or 16Gb.

Also trying to figure out how to handle my work email. We have OWA setup so I can just use the browser. I don't have a license to setup push from the Exchange server. Maybe I can find a desktop client that can forward email to my phone?

Used to play the Verizon Chess game on my Voyager. Now looking for something that looks and plays better on the TP2.

Also need to get some favorite websites bookmarked.

So much to sort out! lol

I'm not sure what you mean by license, exchange does activesync for free last I checked. You do have to have the plan that does activesync though, the $29.99 data plan doesn't cover MS push (assuming you are Verizon). Then it's just as simple as plugging in your exchange info and you're done.

Thanks! Yes, that is what I mean about the activesync. I only have the $29.99 data plan. I'm used to Blackberry enterprise where we have to buy licenses so I had that stuck in my head for some reason.

Not sure I want to pay the extra $15 per month for the upgraded email/data plan. If my employer wants me to be that connected then they should pay for it.

Yep, my employer does. It does work very well, I rely heavily on the exchange capabilities of WinMo, and the Touch Pro has never let me down for that. I look forward to doing it on the TP2 now.

I use exchange email with my works owa and I don't pay an extra $15 on top of the $30 dollar unlimitted data plan ....not sure what you guys are talking about...

im just happy that verizon stepped up with the tp2 and gave it real ram.. i was sick of looking at everyone being able to run a higher page pool and use the dialer..

with my tp i had a 8mb pagepool and disabled the dialer and barely had any mem left.

im just glad they fixed that problem.

What are you talking about? The $29.99 data plan is unrestricted. The only thing the $44.99 plan provisions is Wireless Sync.

You can't access an exchange server with the 29.99 service aka activesync (at least you aren't supposed to).

I think the only thing that the $45 plan gives you is the verizon's way of push email. Exchanges sync has always been unrestricted on the $30 plan. I use it without any issues with our exchange server.
Verizon has no involvement in an exchange sync scenario. It will look like any other https traffic.

why cant you? thats like saying you cant browse the web on the phone with the 29.99 data add on

I only go with the more expensive plan because it includes unlimited messaging also. Frankly, I find Verizon's website & pricing options to be totally confusing. I don't know how the average consumer can figure out what the hell they need to get.
