Nope. It was doing it for me and friends this weekend in Atlantic City as well… somedays I hate AT&T other days I love em… sigh.

Uggh. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t considering an HTC Ozone over the Tour. Spec for spec they’re almost identical. Same physical size, same size screen although the BB is higher res, the Ozone is almost a full ounce lighter, full qwerty non-touch screen, RevA & GSM, unlocked GPS, visual voicemail, etc.

Goofy as it is it comes down to if I would rather have a standard 3.5mm headphone port and native support for Lotus Notes syncing or winmo and WiFi. (I like winmo better, although BBOS is more stable and better at multi-tasking.

The other big one in the Tour’s favor is the intangible quality factor. I would expect the BB to offer the best call quality, speakerphone, and build quality. We’ll see. I may try an Ozone and make use of VZW’s 14 day trial thing.

yes its 30 days.

fry, where are you hearing the tour doesnt have a 3.5 jack? I will murder babies if this is true…

the tour is also full qwerty non touch. if the difference of an ounce bothers you, you need to do more 12 ounce curls…

Either I mistyped or you misread.

The Tour has a 3.5mm headphone jack, the Ozone does not.

Yeah I don’t care about the weight. If anything I’d like the slightly heavier feel of the Tour better. It would probably feel more “quality.” I’m 99% sure I’ll wind up with a Tour next Sunday morning, I just really like WinMo. :shrug:

I can put useful info on the today screen with a couple of SPB programs. I don’t get a text message that I have to open/delete every time I get a voicemail to acknowledge.  
All the text messages are threaded so I only open conversations, not individual messages.

There’s really a lot to like about WinMo. :gotme: I miss my i730. That was my favorite phone to date.

I have yet to see an htc device that doesn’t feel cheap that plus using a stylus sucks.

Good call.

I went and got a little touchy feely with an Ozone at Best Buy. The thing felt really cheap and plasticy, just as robherself predicted. I’m over it.

Is there any difference between the Tour and the new Curve for AT&T?
