Me, pretty please! And congrats on the milestone!

Is it just me, or does this app not support push/IMAP Idle? Even with Gmail set up using IMAP, the emails don't come until refreshed or it checks for new mail, and there is no option for "as items arrive." What's the deal with that? Very disappointing, unless I'm missing something.

I never got to have a lunchbox as a kid :(

Why will the Epic eventually truncate? I turned off the "delete old messages" option. Like I said, I wanted to keep them for sentimental reasons.

Well, about a week later and I can say that I am enamored with this phone. Coming from the ridiculously limited Pre hardware, I never knew how great having a phone this...functional...could be. It just zips along, and even gets way better battery life than my Pre! I would consider going...

I've noticed a very annoying tendency for the touchscreen to malfunction when the phone is plugged in and charging. Either the screen will be completely unresponsive, or will just act a fool. For instance, when I would try to use Swype, it will be allll over the place, not giving me anything...

I'd bet it will drop after CES when new shiny devices are announced (which, of course, we will all want)

Granted, I have no idea what my stock battery life would have been, because I immediately rooted and put ViperRom 3.03 on there, but so far, with moderate internet/messaging usage and moderate phone conversations (~1.5 hours a day maximum), I am getting 13-14 hours. Considering that with ANY...

To be more specific, for the edification of those who don't know: Open up "settings", scroll to the bottom and select "About Phone". Then, select "System Updates", and press "Update PRL" There you go.

Aaaand the problem has resolved itself. Thanks to those advocating patience and calmness :P Paul, I'm in Chicago as well, but can't recall many text delay issues, especially recently. And those that I have encountered have mostly been outgoing rather than incoming texts. *shrug* Here's...

My Epic finally came today. Activated, rooted and put ViperRom 3.03 on there. All of a sudden, my texts are being delayed anywhere from 10-30 minutes. Strangely, they are still arriving on my Pre (figure THAT one out...), and I notice they get to the Pre immediately and are delayed on the...

Perfect, this will work just fine. Thanks! Now, if my Epic would just get here already...I'm getting impatient!

Perhaps the name is misleading, but this would seem to be less than helpful considering the fact that I don't have a Treo, I have a Pre...

Wow, thanks for all the positive comments and helpful insights! I understand that question. As one other poster said, some of us are packrats. Even then, I don't keep most texts. But for stupid sentimental reasons, I wanted to be able to keep texts from the S.O. I'm going to try and figure...

This was my gut feeling, but then again, I couldn't imagine the possibility of half the things that people around here manage to figure out...
