it doenst even have to be custom. I just need to know that it will make some kind of noise if an alert is set. I know i iPod touch does, but it isnt very loud

Quick Android question:

My wife REALLY needs a PDA/Smartphone with a built in calendar that will beep and/or vibrate at certain times of the day to reminder her to do things. My first thought was a Droid (probably a Droid Pro). Here's my question: If you set a calendar event to notify you, can you set the phone to ring a certain tone when set to ring or vibrate when the phone is on vibrate?

It does this automatically. I have my calendar linked to my work Outlook calendar and it goes off 15 minutes prior to an event (default). You can change all of those options though, including ringtone and notification timing.

 

That's just using the stock Android calendar.

yep. I have issues with their data plan pricing. It's partially that I dont have a lot of room in my budget.

You can't get work to cover at least part of the bill? Say it's used for some of your work, like checking emails and stuff while out of the office.

I don't even have a smart phone and mine can do what he's describing as well.

Apple iOS 4.2 for iPhone/iPad/iTouch is here today...

My Pioneer receiver decided to stop working last night. Was watching TV, switched over to play some Xbox and no sound. Switched back to TV to check, everything ok. Switched to Xbox, worked for a few minutes and then it shut off. Will not turn back on at all (tried different outlets, disconnected everything, checked the internal fuse). Of course, it's about two months out of warranty.

Sounds like the power source burned. It shouldnt cost much to fix, but that sucks.

 

 

And Boxee Box just got here, hooking it up tonight!!!

The question is, should I update now or wait for the bugs to be fixed.....

there's an audio repair shop right around the corner, I dropped it off there. My technical skills stopped after checking the internal fuse.

 

Anybody buy their phone through Amazon wireless? The prices can't be beat. Evo is $99($199 in store), Epic is $99($249 in store), every other phone they have for Sprint is .01. I called and spoke with them and asked if there are phone issues, does it have to be shipped back or can you take it to the store. She said you would take it to a Sprint store. Basically the only time you will send it back to them is if you're cancelling within 30 days or want to switch phones within 30 days. They also are waving activation fees Nov 23rd - Nov 30th. I called Sprint store and asked him if they would price match and he said no. I asked him what benefit do I have in buying from your store over Amazon and all he had was...well if there's a problem with the phone in the first 30 days and you have to send it back, you might be without a phone for a week. With the holidays coming up, you don't want that. Am I missing something here? I'm saving $150 bucks if I get the epic and I can get my wife a lower end smart phone for .01 I'm just thinking there has to be a catch somewhere. Any experience from anyone here?

Dam. So I'm gettin the EVO for $49...and my wife's intercept is $19.99 and also comes with 100 gift card...so they're paying you $80 for that phone. There is a $25 coupon code and free activation on both phones. So I'm billed right now $144.98 but receiving $200.00 in gift cards. so basically they are paying me $55.02 to buy the phones there.

Splat my EVO two days ago. when into sprint store, no insurance $35 all new housing and screen within 25minutes. Steal!!

I keep seeing the "iPad on Verizon ad" today where they talk in the ad about Verizon's Nationwide reliability...and I can't help but think it's a direct shot at AT&T in the ad.

Does anybody with AT&T UVerse know what the USB port in the front can be used for?
