So, I found out that the Thunderbolt won't synch with Me.com (what used to be .Mac and MobileMe). While it's not a surprise, it is rather irritating. I used to rely on it to synch with my phone, as well as my wife's phone (and all the Mac systems in the house, of which there are four). Well, I still have my iPad also.
What am I using now, on the Thunderbolt? Google Calendar, which appears to be simpler (fancy that...something that's simpler and more intuitive than an Apple-grown app).
I'll still use my Me.com account for other things, such as photo sharing and archiving, extra e-mail accounts, and tracking my iPad (if I lose it) and daughter's iPod Touch. As I said, I still have Mac systems in the house.
Also, this phone is a power hog! I have a car adapter for charging and use my work's Blackberry charger to charge my Thunderbolt at work (I also have a micro-USB cable that I can use and plug into my laptop when I need to charge both the BB and the Tbolt). Still, I find it consuming lots of energy, and I'm barely on a 4G network throughout the day (I touch it maybe once or twice for 10 minutes at a time).
I'm still drooling over the HD videos it records, too. I recorded some fireworks that we set off tonight and the video turned out very well (once I found out how to adjust focus).
AT&T called me last night wanting me to participate in a survey once they found out that I cancelled my service with them. They called me on my Tbolt and asked if I was on a cell or landline (WTF?). When I told them I was on my phone, they told me they'd call me at my home phone, which was rather odd. When I later told my wife, she said, "they were afraid the call would be dropped". I almost snorted my lunch out of my nose when she said that!
And on that note, no, I still haven't had a dropped call and it's been almost a week since I've had the new phone. If I were using my iPhone, I'd have had at least 4-5 dropped calls already.
