Craig, Your thoughts are kinda narrow. Pop Plays major signifigance in all emailing on the Internet infact google uses 'Oh My God POP' and to allow google to control everything you use for communication is silly no matter how much I love android. Next antiquated should have never been used by you about something you obviously know nothing about.
Dune, If you keep up with the android source at all right now they have over 6000 bugs reported and being worked on. Depending on how significant a bug is depends on how many users experience this issue is it on a device that is not supported straight from AOSP with out porting. I will not argue about Craigs thoughts on the mobile phone screen display needing as much space for more important things but maybe if it's important enough to enough users they would think about it. Oh and finally there will never be a number available to directly speak with anyone at google unless you know them personally and then your still most likely calling there android phone not there desk phone. www.LinuxBoxSolution.com www.YouTube.com/user/linuxboxsolution www.Krzyview.com www.Email-Marketers.com On Aug 8, 2011, at 11:48 PM, Craig White <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, 2011-08-08 at 16:54 -0700, dune17856 wrote: >> Desperately seeking support.
