to clarify, you can now highlight, copy/paste in a web page. it’s a paragraph, not selection, but it’s something. I still can’t get a text to copy or forward to another user. read thru the palm updates. many more than I thought. I see they are working hard. I’ll still staying loyal (for now).

The calendar using Outlook Exchange is MUCH faster. 5 seconds to launch instead of 12. There is still no cut and paste of txt messages or web pages. That needs to be fixed soon. Very frustrating. They need to support subcategories in contacts. It causes imported contacts from a Treo to not allow changes on the phone that synch with Exchange. I figured that one out and had to tell them last month. They need to get apps out soon. iphone is so far ahead that Sprint is losing market share like crazy. If they can get decent apps and fix some of the major issues posted on palmcentral, they may stand a fighting chance. btw, battery life… you have to turn off everything on Location Services or it does drain it quick (autolocate, background data collected, etc). Turn it on when you need it for google maps then back off aftewards.

No I agree entirely that LinkedIn in Synergy is big for the mobile professional, but my point is that you can’t search for and new contacts to LinkedIn via the Pre, even using the standalone LinkedIn application from the App Catalog.

In other words, if I meet someone who works in the same field as me and I want to exchange information via LinkedIn, I can’t add them in order to get their information until I get back to my computer.

I’m just thinking for the mobile professional. The Gmail and Facebook syncing is cool, and great for the younger crowd, but couldn’t LinkedIn syncing potentially make this an awesome business phone, as well?

What did you do to get rid of the unable to connect message? Mine’s been saying that for more than an hour and a half

On-device LinkedIn application that is… meaning the application in the App Catalog.

The only problem is that even with the on-application LinkedIn application, you can’t search for or add new connections.

With that ability, it’d be a much bigger deal.

Am I the only one who thinks adding LinkedIn to Synergy is a *major* deal, even bigger than Facebook or Gmail was?
