At the risk of getting flamed, I want to inform I hate my treo what he may run into when he picks up his new Nexus.
I too, am a former blackberry user. I wish I could say this phone is the cats meow. It's about a 7/10 on my personal ease of use scale.
Problems I've had include
1. Exchange native gobbling up data, and never "shutting off". Instead of trying endless fixes, I loaded Touchdown, and got it running, so I can send/receive email. Native exchange was running the phone dry, exchange gobbling data, 4 GB in a week of data trying to sort it out.
2. Minor issue here, but when someone calls, I'm used to seeing Joe Blow, Acme Widgets show up on the incoming display screen. I then have a chance of figuring out who it is, before I speak. Now I just get "joe Blow", and it's up to me to rack my brain, to sort him out of 3,000 contacts and figure out who he is, and how to reply. This won't be an issue for those who have under 100 contacts, it will be an issue for you "rolodex" types like me.
3. Spotty radio. Here in Colorado, I have to work in the woods a lot, 30-100 miles around Denver up in the foothills, out on the plains. My old blackberry storm had a MUCH better radio, better reception in marginal places. You will be dissappointed in this.
4. "one way call" syndrome. I thought this was probably my problem with my phone cell coverage, until I noticed it happpened on landlines I was talking with. The call continues, but the guy on the other end of the line is left wondering what happened to you. It's like you go mute in the middle of a call, but you never touched anything. This occurs both at my home office, when on wi fi, and also out on the road.
5. Software issues with related products. My blueAnt T1, my son bought me for Christmas just doesn't work with my Nexus. The ladies voice that's supposedly native to the Nexus, sounds like an android herself and she's virtually impossible to understand. Blueants website is strangely mute, level 2 tech support says, "we're working on it". It's supposed to announce the names of incoming callers, read your sms, or texts, etc. that's not happening.
That being said, there are features to love, fast maps, eventually being able to speak or dictate your emails or phone contacts and have it call for you. Videos, photos, etc, once figured out can be sent to clients from the scene.
I'm well beyond return time, so I've got to dance with the one that brung ya, but I'm telling you, this isn't a picnic to run a business with.
Your mileage may vary!
Thanks Early...I think
Kinda seems like most of my posts match my avatar. Not sure what that says about me though.
edit: just see two posts down for yet another match
