I am hopefully going to attempt to 1. Release XA 3.3 and 2. start to move into my new office in Monona (Madison WI) today. There is something to be said for working in an office not in your house, productivity should climb very well and I may actually see people during the day… Im excited… And excited to get XA 3.3 out there. It is simply awesome and will be a great PIM for the new devices coming out, including the Treo 800w, the one handed usage matches up beautifully…
Phone Service Rant….
The plan was also to get the new Treo 800w today, but I did a bunch of calling yesterday and cant get out of the $400 early termination fees of Alltel even though their closest retail location to our new house is over an hour a way and Im using all other carrier’s towers down here… (Note to Alltel: Do you really think its a good idea to trap a longtime(~12 years+) customer into the end of their contract when they move out of a direct area, makes me guarantee I’m never coming back). And I tried calling Sprint to see if they’d help with covering the fees(I had heard they have done that) but did not have any luck(Note to Sprint: If you have a chance to get a new family plan customer with an everything Smartphone Plan purchasing 2 smartphones, doing a little something to help them jump ship is probably not a bad move). So anyway, now I also have to figure out how to get my Motorola Q off the Bootloader Screen of death or get a replacement somehow(yeah, Im probably out of warranty). And then in a couple months once Im within the home stretch, Ill drop my Alltel account down to the lowest it will go, and let it run out and come on over to Sprint(I guess or Verizon, if they have the 800w by then). Needless to say, I am a little irritated by the Mobile carriers. I wonder if I was the first one to be…?
