Otherwise all else is well.

Anyway, its working and its SWEET - I just recently ported my universe to full Google Apps and the integration looks TIGHT - even more so then you'd ever get with the OWA connecter on my old MDA. Downside is I have to work this after noon and can't play with it!

Downside is I have to work this after noon and can’t play with it!

Wal*Mart's price was only $99 with a 2-year - $100 less than online/phone or retail store. The clerk mentioned that was the case with most of their phones - I only went in there on a lark that they would have it at all and walked out REAL happy. (With the only downside that the clerk didn't add the new G1 data plan correctly, so I had to call to get it done right). I was also happy to see that the basic charger-only is standard mini-USB, which means the ones I have scattered all over the house and car will still work, though I intend to get an upgraded battery and combo chargers / headphones adapters ASAP. T-Mobile is also offering unlimited calling for $10 less than what I was paying for 1500 minutes, and that was with no special contract changes. Not exactly a hard sell on that. Still waiting.

I use Toggleblu. I had to update for Cupcake, but it works fine (along with ToggleWiFi). I also tested Useful Switcher, and it worked as well.

Glad to hear confirmation I may not be going crazy, I though the camera quality improved.

When you tap in the field it pops up. In fact, in multi-field forms it provides a next button to move to the next field, and can automatically change to a number pad (it does this in the phone number fields of the Contact List).
