I'm going back to a Nokia mars bar phone :(

The HTC is getting worse, I fire it up and bring up the touch screen to get an answerphone message as it's dialling the screen goes off, WTF I still need to use the touch screen to access the options. No amount of setting changes alter this either, you have to press the power button to get the screen back on but not too long as it may turn the device off.
It is handy getting e-mails on the move but they can wait till I'm back in the office.

Anyone recommend a simple phone that will sync with my outlook contacts and calendar ?

Not sure this particular corporate ****ing contest is getting Tonio any nearer a solution! :lol:

I'm sure, however, the ferocity with which you defend your master's solutions would engender warm, fuzzy feelings in their senior mgmt! Might be a good idea to submit a link to this thread as part of your 360 degree feedback..... ;)

Couch that IS a setting in the backlight options. Start -> Settings -> [System Tab on the bottom] -> Backlight -> [Battery Power tab on the bottom] -> ...

In there is a checkbox to enable a setting that says "Turn off backlight if device is not used for" and next to it is a drop down menu allowing you to set it to whatever you want.

I'm going to ask our guys what our equivalent numbers are and see what I can publish.

You can't deny my technical arguments nor what I've seen in BB to WM migrations. Of course in your role I wouldn't think that you'd publicly acknowledge that though ;)


It might be secure but not out of the box! That's the difference :D

A man's got to meet his KPI's somehow! :lol:

Hang on, it's not secure. .it is secure ... which is it?!

Secure! Any software needs to be setup to meet the customer requirements - it's called good consulting practice!

:p :frog:
