For those of you that have droids...

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

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
