And I can't say more than that. First off I get my butt out of bed super early on Friday morning to go and get the newest and "supposedly" (please note the quotation marks) greatest new phone from Blackberry the STORM. And with promises from the Verizon people that "of course it's compatible with my Mac." What a load of boloney. Not only is it not compatible, but there is NO after market product as of yet that allows me to sync my calendar and all my contacts onto my new phone, so I spent the better part of the day inputting my most important and most used numbers into my new phone. (SO MUCH FOR A SMART PHONE). As for my calendar - well forget it. I'm about ready to give up on the stupid blackberry once and for all quite frankly. I spent all of friday googling to find out if others were having the same issue as me, and there seems to be no solution unless I want to pay an extra $40 for a less than perfect (according to others who did buy the product and found it didn't work properly) after market syncing software. What a rip off.
Then today, Darren decides to buy the Office for Mac upgrade for us as he needs it for work and after spending a good hour loading it and deleting my old version of Word, the stupid thing is only good for one load. And it wasn't cheap either. He paid over $200 for it. I'm so fed up with the whole thing. It only came with one product number and I can only use it when his computer is off. HOW STUPID IS THAT. I am so frustrated by this. I get that they need to make money and all but honestly when you live in the same house, you should be able to only have to buy the product once. It's not like it was that cheap to start with.
Anyway. Am now done with my rant. Hopefully will find a solution to the Microsoft Office Problem in the morning. As for the Blackberry Storm, unless they find a way to let me sync it to my mac within a month, it is going back to Verizon. (You get 30 days to try it out) and as far as I'm concerned I will then just have to think of something different. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

you'd think if they need money they'd make super products you love and recommend to your friends and relations... one of the ways the whole marketing economy has gotten itself into the pickle it is in, i say... and getting out of that will require a lot of pain for manufacturers that will get them thinking a different way (my rant for the day on this matter)
good luck!!
I know it's crazy... It's a wonder that manufacturers and companies alike can be so short sighted. I really makes you think if the lunatics have finally taken over the asylum.
