So up until December '08 I had been a tried & true VZW guy using WinMo phones then I got the iPhone bug and switched to the dark side.
While basically it's a cool toy, between the phone & AT&T's horrible service it totally sucks as a communication device in my area with dropped calls and terrible call quality so I'm looking to come back into the fold and ditch the POS.
Let me preface this with the fact that this is really about being a business tool to handle email, text and phone calls while on the road as a saleman. Right now it's between the Eris and the Pre Plus (not feeling the Moto Droid love).
Last night I downloaded and read through the Eris manual but could not find answers to a couple of questions I hope you guys can clarify for me:
1) Can you open an email attachment like say an Excel file by simply clicking on it within the message or do you have to save it to the SD card, open the corresponding ap and then open the file?
2) On your notifications can you set them to both vibrate and also ring tone alert at the same time for incoming SMS & email?
3) Can you set it up so that if you don't respond to a notification it will continue to remind you that you have unread notifications?
TIA for your responses.
