HELP! Need to get G1 Working or Dieter Will Kill Me!

[Rene Ritchie]

Awesome! I definitely need spend more time with Marketplace next time I have the luxury of a G1!

By the way, I find that the Anycut, Weather Channel, and twidroid are great apps. Also, Divide and Conquer, coloroid, and Pac Man are kind of addictive.

Good Luck!

EDIT: Oh, and SpellDial too.

I have spent much more time in the market than I expected. How does it compare to the iPhone's market for quality and ease of use? So far, the main thing that annoys me is the comments.

If only google had desktop versions of Calendar, Mail, Contacts, that would sync with what online, we could dump stupid outlook.

We do, and it is the most flexible and dynamic

I just took a look, and I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for.
I have no internet access out at my house. With Outlook all my PIM and Mail is on my Laptop and my phone whether I am connected to the internet or not.

What I need is something where all my contacts, appointments, and mail is always on desktop, even when I'm not connected to the internet. But then syncs with google cal, gmail, and contacts when I'm online.

Week 2?

Me thinks the G1 Android is being shortchanged for Week 2. Where are the topics?

I want to dump outlook altogether.

Is there an app for recording phone calls, and does it record both sides without having to use speakerphone?

I don't use it now but have used it in the past. Thunderbird syncs email, calendar nicely, and if I am not mistaken, it now has a way to sync contacts also.

Just wondering if you guys have see TouchDown? It seems to be a pretty good solution for Exchange.

Has anyone heard any rumors of an Android phone coming to At&t?

There's even less activity here than the iphone RR.

More spam than posts. Not even any status here. Well, let's just assume that the G1 Android is so good that the week two reviewer doesn't need any help. I know I picked up on it immediately.

 

[berdinkerdickle]

Maybe I already asked this;
Is there a way to have upcoming appointments show on the today screen.
(or home screen - not sure what it's called)

Calendar items appear in the status bar as notifications from 3 hours to 1 week in advance. You can also set audible and vibrate alerts. Is that what you meant?

 

[berdinkerdickle]

These are a couple examples from other OS's of what I'm looking for:

 

[berdinkerdickle]

Is there anything available for Android that allows upcoming appointments to appear similar to the pics in the above post?

 

[chuazy]

yes. under google calendar, not on the home screen.

a better home screen for android will be good, though the notification bar is pretty useful + status light
