Since those are the two options iPhone…
If the Droid was an option I would say get it instead.
:wstupid:
The new Google Nexus One phone looks pretty cool but the only thing I didn’t like was that if comes with a 4.5GB card and you can only use less than 200MB for applications.
it’s prolly aimed at operating a lot like how their OS is supposed to. completely online, apps are ran remotely from the cloud… that sort of thing.
Ya that is what I was thinking. It will be cool to see how it functions. Also love how you can speak what you want to type into any field in the phone.
Nexus One is cool. There were a decent amount of improvements made, but Corporate Email is STILL an issue depending on what your IT department requires for security.
I wouldn’t trust it with sensitive data though. Not in its current form.
Sensitive data shouldn’t be on your phone. How about that?
For all the BB humpers in this thread, how many of you are actually using them in a big corporate position where your company doesn’t allow iPhone’s because they don’t meet the network security requirements?
I’m guessing maybe Howie and that’s about it.
Psh… I keep all my root passwords and encryption codes on my phones notepad and backed up in my email for quick access.
our IT doesnt allow anything but BB.
But does your job function even need you to have real time access to corporate mail outside the office?
That’s the reason I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get one. Apparently there is a server that is similar to BES that works with the iphone, but that’d require using 2 different servers.
I’m just going to find out if it’s even a decision I can make and revisit it then.
Apps are worthless when you don’t have a signal? Me no likey.
In some industries, email IS sensitive data.
I know it’s not true for newman, but I work in healthcare, and often have PHI sitting around in my email.
Nexus One does not store your apps on the cloud.
Yes. management requires us to have a 1 hour response time to sales.
edit: although I really only worry about it during business hours due to my business unit. It allows for me to not be chained to my desk.
Don’t you do sales for a branch of Verizon tho? If so it would make sense they say no iPhones. Lol.
Does Android have a sort of quazi BBS to manage their devices or are they in the same boat as the iPhone?
Lastly, the iPhone does have a lot of enterprise features that people don’t know about since BB is such a common name. Check this out:
I do market development for Ingram, and up until the end of last year, I managed the VZW distribution channel. It’s not a VZW thing though, Ingram only uses BB. Mines not corporate though, as the corporate policy is ATT only.
Android phones are “Allegedly” Exchange compatible. Which means they can be managed through an Exchange server. That’s BS though. They BARELY support exchange servers. The iPhone exchange implementation blows it away. The iPhone can at least support Activesync security policies.
Ah got ya. Just curious if it was a VZW thing trying to keep iPhones out similar to Microsoft in the beginning trying to prevent employees from having iPhones.
I agree that for a non MS product, the iPhone Exchange capabilities is pretty amazing. There is lots of non-MS desktop clients that can’t even do it right.
