I'll have to try these.
Fried for me (that is, if I were to eat bacon).

Is use email (ckecks every two hours), Web surfing (mostly mobile forums!), download news headlines (once or twice a day) and download weather (every four hours). I use about 150 - 200 Mb per month.

Best way to fight that is to use checks, money orders and the like to bypass PayPal altogether. Unfortunately, those who can't be trusted ruin it for the rest.

What is it that you are looking for in a phone that you can't get from Verizon? I assume you want a WM "smartphone" and not a PPC, since that is the only thing I can think of that you can't get (unless the i600 is still available). The new Blackberry is not too bad if you want a non-touch screen model. But, alas, it's not Windows Mobile. You can still keep the faith for the Moto Q!

I've had several different kinds of Samsung phones over the years and I find the regular phones are OK for battery life. With moderate use, maybe two days. My last two were a smaprtphone, Samsung i600, and a PPC phone, Samsung i730. Neither the i600, nor the i730, would make it an entire day with moderate use. I tend to use data a lot (about 150 - 200 Mb per month) and that really kills the battery quickly.

Paul,

Thanks. After a little reading on their Web site I see it states that activation codes are only good for one week. I need to request a new code for a new install. I requested one today--will see what happens. Thanks again for your offer.

Update: They sent me a new activation code, very quickly, and all is well.

First let me say that I like FairDeal. Now on to my story. I purchased Pocket Quicken for PPC via FairDeal. It took a couple of emails to get my registration code--late. First I received a code for Palm OS. I responded to that email and got a new code for PPC. I used that code and it worked. I later received another email telling me to use a third code!?! I did a hard reset the other day and now my PPC code does not work so I am using Pocket Quicken on a 30 day trial. I hope I can get this straightened out before the 30 days is up.

I assume this is all due to sloppy handling by Landware and has nothing to do with MoDaCo, but be prepared if you buy something from them.
