My wife wants one, and she went to the Verizon store today and they told her that "they are not very secure.." that the signal from a droid bounces off "all the towers" and that a blackberry would be much more secure...

The wife wants to have a droid to run apps and access the web so she can do invoicing and banking stuff for her small business while on the road.

It sounds to me like this lady at Verizon was talking out of her ass, but I don't have a droid, so I can't say one way or the other.

Thats BS to get her to buy the more expensive phone. Guess what those people get commissions.

Next time tell your wife to do her own research before going to the store where the WILL lie to you. Not trying to sound harsh but doing otherwise is a good way to get shafted.

I've done a little google research here and it does seem that there are some security concerns with the droids... no on-device encryption, does not fully support MS Exchange, etc.

What about web security?

:lol: at my wife doing research on something... she's off this week and thinks I'm gonna jump when she wants to do something.

She is talking out of her ass, I've had a Droid since early January and have had 0 issues with its security. I've even downloaded uncertified apps off the internet on mine before. Tell your wife to get the Droid and enjoy it, if she wants some suggestions on useful apps send me a pm. As for the encryption, I'm an IT for a major business and they haven't told me that I cant use my phone on their network. I guess there could potentially be issues with it but I haven't encountered any yet.

I used my droid as a wireless outlet for my laptop like one of those USB sticks they sell and no problems. Haven't had any on the phone either.

If they are making you pay the 30 dollar data fee don't get anything other than a droid or a top of the line blackberry. It won't be worth the 30 bucks a month if you don't have a modern smart phone.

Did you go to a authorized Verizon dealer or a corporate store? When I got my daughter her phone I went to the Verizon store in town. They could not give me my government employee discount. I got pissed and left without buying anything. I went a different store that happened to be a Verizon owned store. Come to find out, the authorized dealers suck at things

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
