FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Our experiences differ markedly, especially since I still get two or three of them every month. Altho, I must admit that I have been upgraded almost every time for the last couple of years.

I am not a fan of aa mad dogs at all, dated seats, FAs that are terrible, always late. Flying though dfw wasn't a good experience.

My palm(palmos), instinct and ipod all work well pushing via imap or exchange. (well haven't tried exchange on the instinct)

I want a Pre in June, but I am not sure of it's email solution yet.

The planes are taking off the wrong way at PHL...northbound takeoffs are much more difficult to shoot.

But good for landings if you are willing to walk out under the approach path. My experience is that you do not generally get arrested. ;)

I much BB prefer over the ActiveSync stuff. MS keeps saying they'll get it right with the next version of WinMo, but they seem to fail every time. Maybe one of these days.

I would never fly UA in anything but first. I did their C once (on a 20 minute flight MVD-EZE) and learned enough to know that it would not be acceptable for any flight much longer than that. All of my experience with them in recent years is as a *Gold on *A awards and you can be sure that I would never pay actual money for one of their tickets.

I've got another trip planned for next month JFK-SFO-SYD in first and let's see if they have made any improvement. I do not expect much, but I wanted to get to the Ozfest and that was all that was around for miles.

I always feel bad for the people who live in the houses under the approach path. I feel like we're going to land on their roof so I can't even imagine how loud it is from inside the house.

I suppose they are lucky that the DC9s and 727s are moving out of service. WNs 737s are fairly quiet.

Yeah, I remember that when I had other smart phones. I prefer the hardware of the HTCs, but the crackberries are simply more efficient and useful. I will start poking around at TMo and see what they have available.

I was thinking the same thing, but do not know if I can wait that long for a solid option for remote email and calendaring.

Bring me back some stroopwaffel por favor.

Finding team :rolleyes: should be easy. Just check the bars / strip clubs / zoos / jails. In that order.

You forgot checking the gutters. :D

I can understand that because in nowadays it certainly is difficult to get along without one, But it is not all that essential for me since the two of us almost always travel together on business and while I carry the laptop., she carries the PDA. She loves to play that Rockbreaker game anyhow when she tires of reading on the plane. :)
