Verizon Semi-Cripples Droid for Business Users: Tacks on $15 Per Month Charge to Work with Exchange ActiveSyncI noted yesterday that... Based on Engadget Review, Droid Has More Cons Than Pros for Me so Far It was actually a relatively close call with the pluses and minuses adding up to a -0.5 based on the lack of multi-touch. But, if you have an email system based on Microsoft Exchange Server (as millions of people do), this news from InfoWorld may be the straw that broke the camel's back (it is for me)... Want a Droid for work e-mail? It'll cost you extra It reports that Verizon Wireless will charge $15 per month to allow a Motorola Droid to use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync to access Exchange Server based email (and presumably calendar and contacts sync too). If you depend on Exchange Server based mail, this is a -10 point all by itself since other phones and carriers (AT&T + iPhone, T-Mobile + HTC Touch Pro2) simply allows this pairing to work (and quite well, thank you). So, that's it for me. The Motorola Droid from Verizon Wireless stands at -10.5. No Droid for me. Email This Post |
