few questions:

how is the speaker / call quality? speaker phone quality?

customization - have you tried saving ringtones / themes off the browser? how many themes does it come with initially?

is spell check built into the os?

can you have multiple mailboxes for multiple email accounts / text messages?

Our Verizon rep indicated we can order Monday, 5/14. We're a Fortune 100 company. I presume all business customers will be able to order that day, though.

The 8830 OS version is 4.2.2.66 vs the 4.2.1.72 on my 8800c

Biggest win so far that I've noticed is a Shuffle option in the Media player. (come on Cingular, let us OTA download this upgrade to the media player).


A little shocked that it didn't come with the DST patch pre loaded, or that the DST OTA download site didn't tell me that no patch was needed.

The Verizon URL for its Global Phone & Email offerings is

Global Services

Cingular 8800 already has SHUFFLE
