I have been an AT&T wireless customer for more than 10 years. Unlike many cellphone users, I have actually had a satisfactory time and have not even considered leaving.
NOW EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED.
I have been neglecting Vox recently, but want to try to correct the situation. I have written a few blog posts recently at TheStanding.com that you may be interested in.

Evidently, Tommy Lee Jones...is the BOSS... Boss is a brand of canned coffee (hot or cold at the vending machine).
There's something funny about seeing TLJ on the front of a Vending Machine...
You see what you want (top), you insert cash (middle) and then they bring it to you (bottom).
Very efficient and very good food...for 830 Yen.
I have to give Kudo's when I run across the rare instance that a company meets or exceeds my expectations.
Quite a while ago, I was having connection issues with my internet provider, Sprint DSL. I contacted them and went through the ringer trying to get them to replace the modem. They would not do it unless every conceivable issue OTHER than the modem was ruled out. Talking about a pain in the A$$. After hours of testing and ruling eveything out, I ended up buying my own modem off the shelf which fixed the issue.
Fast forward about 2 years, and once again I am having connection issues. Sprint has since been purchased by Embarq. I Twitter my Embarq issues and am contacted by an Embarq employee with advice the same day. I also submit a support email and immediately they send me out a new router based solely on the email.
Now I have not gotten the new DSL modem, so I do not know the final results of my issue, but based upon the reaction and response of Embarq, I have to say Thank You!
My doctor has put me on a 6-week gluten free diet to see if I have Celiac Disease. Moving to a gluten free diet is not easy. But thank you to the internet, it is much easier than it use to be. The documentation and information given to me by my Doctor was not enough to truly understand what is and what is not available for me to eat. But I found a few sites and downloads that help quite a bit.
The ClanThompson site provides a database that makes it simple to look up foods by type or brand and tells you if they are gluten free. This was a lifesaver and worth the $$ to purchase.
I have also gone to many of the websites of restaurants I frequent to see if they have gluten free menus and some do. I have downloaded all the pdf's of these menus and emailed them to myself to access via my iPhone.
Whole Food Market has a complete downloadable list of all gluten free products (and any other special diet) they sell so you can easily make a shopping list.
As I find more, I will update this post.
Here is my situation. Most all I do and want sync'd to the iPhone is on my Macbook. This includes my personal contacts, music, video, podcasts, photos and bookmarks. What is on my work Windows XP computer is my schedule in Outlook.
I have tried multiple solutions. First, I connected to the work network via Entourage on my Macbook and sync'd the calendar via Entourage. Entourage had issues with any Outlook event that was and all day event. It put part of the event the day before and created duplicates. So that did not work.
Next, I tried the new Outlook to Google Calendar sync to get my schedule in Google Calendar and then subscribe to the calendar in iCal. However I could never get the Outlook to Google Calendar Sync to work. I may be due to the corporate firewall.
So I decided to try syncing just the Calendar on the Windows PC. I plugged in the iPhone, made sure no syncing at all would take place. Put a check mark only under syncing Calendar with Outlook and pressed sync. It gave me a notice that the iPhone was paired with another computer and did I want to merge or overwrite the data. I clicked on overwrite and prayed. It worked. I have my Outlook calendar on the iPhone and no other data was messed with.
I then connected the iPhone with my Macbook. I made sure everything was selected correctly EXCEPT the calendar. I also got the merge or overwrite question regarding the contacts and bookmarks. I believe this is due to the calendar, bookmarks and contacts all being on the same tab in iTunes.
Therefore, whenever I move from the Macbook to the Windows PC, it will ask to merge or overwrite. Not the most elegant solution, but it seems to work so far.
