I am not a teenage hacker hobbyist, and as such don't have time or desire to find workarounds. When I spend good money I expectcertain things. This whole bedroom programmer/hacker beta tester attitude is simply bcoming a bit infuriating. I'd rather hhave a phone with less initial features, yet where the iincluded apps work properly. And who in their right mind would rely on a 3rd party to be responsible for somwthing as important as an email client. Give me a break. You guys are trying way to hard to come up with excuses and justification for such a dismal piece of programming. There is no excuse. And they better get it together before Android fails because of the dismal rollout to date. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
