Re: [PLUG] Update: Update: Off-topic: Cell Phone Call Quality

[Greg Helledy <gregsonh@gra-inc.com>]

1.  It was my understanding that quality of voice and data service is 
likely to be lower on plans provided by the resellers/piggybackers than 
on plans from the four network owners (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and 
T-Mobile).  The big 4 may have a different marketing name for their 
prepaid plans, which are of the same quality as their postpaid/flagship 
plans, but any reseller will involve a quality tradeoff.

Am I wrong on that?

I am very happy with the quality of signal I get from T-Mobile, and the 
price I pay.  BUT, it works for me because I spend nearly all my time in 
built-up/metro areas.  Coverage seems to be weak in rural areas 
(northern Bucks County, the Poconos).

2.  Android's built-in email app (at least in Android 4) is terrible 
compared to K-9 Mail.

3.  Who's got a favorite calendaring app?  I need to be able to connect 
via CalDAV to servers I've set up, so something that just works with 
Google Calendar isn't useful for me.  Right now I have SolCalendar 
(http://calendar.sol.daum.net/calendar) which is ok.  One thing I cannot 
get it to do is ignore alerts from one calendar, while providing them 
with another.  That is, you choose what type of alert notification you 
want (beep, vibrate, on-screen notification) but the choice is 
systemwide, not per-calendar.
