Looks like we have the most official word since Palm said 1.4 would be out in
'February' last month. On Sprint's support forum an administrator posted a
message saing it will be out tomorrow evening. At least now we can just stop
hitting the update app for another 24 hours!

The part that is most disappointing to me is that increasingly consumers
are becoming beta testers, and being charged big bucks for the

been cut out.
With smartphones, the problem may seem worse than it is, but it
seems so because the darn things cost so much and we buy them because of
their promise. Too often, we discover their failure after the 30-day
trial has run out, and we're left with a two-year contract.
That's kind of what happened in my case. I love the Pre. I'm glad I
didn't go for the Hero or the Moment. But I don't know how long I've
been trusting a sync that wasn't happening, and I'm about a week out of
the 30-day thing.
Sometimes a forum will have a company rep on board, and even more,
I hope, there's one lurking, but I'd feel better if I could think, in
this case for instance, that Google and Palm were working together to
discover the solutions.
Oh well. We'll see what 1.4 brings. Meanwhile, I'm going to do some
more serious testing to see if I can figure out why numbers in some Name
fields will kill the sync, and others won't.
