A lot of people hate them because of the whole (un)authorized charger BS.

Pull means the phone actively checks for new mail every trigger (timer or whatnot). Can be a massive drain on the battery not to mention slow. My gmail has never pushed, or if it did, there was still a 5 minute timer somewhere, and my battery only lasted about 4 hours. Now that I've turned off...

:eek: I have it and love it.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid/2765-opening-pocket-randomly-unlocking.html I've been wearing holsters for many years and never damaged a device. I can't imagine a phone banging around in my pocket with my keys.

Oh, ok. The last three I've been at did and dozens of friends companies do. I always thought it was common practice, afterall, not everyone can have a blackberry. What do companies do for employees with windows mobile, iphones, palms (not running WM) and so forth?

You should just ask them if they have a Good Messaging server.

I don't think Good is something for consumers, I think you need a good messaging server. For business it's the alternative to a blackberry enterprise server for push email, calendar and contacts that works on windows mobile, android and other phone OS's.

I awoke this morning to a message about an update to Good (Good Technology) and promptly installed it. It fixed the secure channel issue and now it works flawlessly. I'm back to blackberry speed and thrilled that I get to keep droid. I've only done about 20 test emails with my stopwatch but it...

Nothing unusal, same thing I did with my old BB (email and yak) but this is a far more powerful device so obviously it's only going to last a 10th as long. Duh.

I haven't bothered since the battery only lasts 4 hours anyway so it gets a nice reboot when it dies.

I'm just waiting for the holster that it recognizes so it'll sleep when it's in it and awaken and unlock when you pull it out, just like a blackberry.

That was my understanding too. I've done a factory reset 3 times now and it goes through the setup requiring gmail info, I enter it in, it calls verizon to activate and finishes up. I enter the gmail app, never touching the email app, and everything is set to sync. So I open gmail, through...

Ironically I found a rocketfish magnetic pouch at best buy. It's a little tight but so are BB cases at first and they stretch out, so I hope this one will as well. I chose it because it doesn't trigger either dock mode.

Has anyone figured out how to turn push on for gmail? Mine is still stuck on a 5 minute timer and I just can't find an option for push.
