Quick update:
Gmail/Google Reader/GCalendar is even slicker than than I expected. I don’t even have to use the web-page interface for Gmail — I can just grab everything as a pop3 account. I was particularly impressed that setup consisted of “here’s my ID, here’s my password… you go out on the internet and pull the correct settings for everything else” and it WORKED.
Outlook Work email/calendar — setup took all of four minutes and the interface to my Outlook Inbox folders is even better than the web-based interface. Awesome. (Helped that I could call a guy I know who both sets the exchange server up and LIVES on his smartphone.)
Still haven’t had time to mess with the camera or video. I think perhaps tonight with Kaylee.
Haven’t quite figured out how to get ringtones downloaded. The Verizon “get it now” option I’m familiar with is nowhere to be found.
Still need to figure out what I need to do to get GChat working on the phone. I’ve seen some stuff I can download that claims to do what I want, but I also want to make sure it’s what I need before I spend 35 bucks on the software. (Oh for the days when handhelp apps were a piddling couple of dollars per app.) I’m also scared to go shopping on Handango, since I’ll probably grab iRogue and a bunch of other games.
All in all, I’m quite pleased.
