However you cannot create a new appointment with invitation. But you can accept from other. Hope they will have a solution for this in future. Otherwise it’s hard to get in Business Corporate side. Style and design: It really stands between Iphone and BlackBerry. Pretty small unit for a touch screen device with a real QWERTY keyboard. Way better then the HTC Touch Diamond. And if you love the phone, I would suggest getting a better protection case or something like invisible shield from Zagg. The Demo unit we have in Bell Store got a few scratches on the back already. The keyboard is okay to use once you get use to it. It feels alright with the gesture rubber key. It’s okay to be tiny. Browser: Excellent, besides Iphone, it is the best browser for phones that Bell carries. Youtube: Liked it too! You are able to watch High quality video. I don’t have iphone so I can’t compare it. Besides Pre, HTC Touch Diamond does have the build in Youtube player that you can watch in High Quality. * DOA policy is sucks. 30 Days with zero minutes. I strongly suggest you play around with the Phone as long as it takes before you leave. Have your number forward to another phone to remain zero minutes. Make sure the phone works properly otherwise your device will end up send for repair for weeks or more. And make sure the screen body and keyboard mechanic is not loose in between. Slide open and close a few times to test it out. Business side: Works great with Exchange server. However you cannot create a new appointment with invitation. But you can accept from other.

As if he would describe it as the last ditch attempt to keep going from Palm - nice but too late. Android apps gushing like water and Apple apps for everything. WebOS too late in the day, I'd say.

Will take some getting used to and a lot of the apps don't work in Canada (even Fandango) so they need to work on that so I can keep up with my boy and his iphone. Will have to play around with it a few days to get a real feel for it.
