That is where they can be effectively tracked and not slip though the cracks.
Awesome. I was going to ask about this.

The email client seems better (even if it does a poor job of organizing multiple accounts). However, tapping and holding on the scoll bar pops up what appears to be an empty menu and tapping and holding on the column headings in the inbox causes the program to quit (although that might be a feature -- "undocumented fast termination?").

Best not to bother looking unless you have broadband as the photos are big.

Amusingly, the page you created to document the problem you found caused my 770 to lock up entirely. I eventually had to pull out the battery in order to recover, which I've never needed to do before. Proof, I guess, that this is, indeed, a beta version of the OS.

Hm... as I'm tapping this post I'm finding that not only did they rearrange the old "small keys" virtual keyboard (some good changes, like putting the quotation mark under the apostrophe) but they seem to have altered the "tap and slide" behavior slightly. Ch-ch-ch-changes!

Yeah, the pairing definitely seems improved. I haven't been able to get my 770 to actually make the dial-up connection yet, though. Are you using the full name@sprintpcs.com username and password? The Clie I've been using recently only needed the name part of name@sprintpcs.com and no password, but that doesn't seem to be working. ...Or I could have messed up something else. EDIT: I was unthinkingly assuming you were also a Sprint customer, which obviously isn't necessarily the case. Please excuse me.

People have listed a lot of things that have changed in the 2006 version of the OS, but another thing I really like is the fact that copy, cut and paste have been moved up a level in the pop-up menu on the virtual keyboard. That's a nice touch.
