No more sun

After years of use, i have finally given up on my sun line. The poor signal and frequent network congestion keeps me from using it a lot. In the end it is underutilized and consequently a waste of money. They are a good company but i guess that it would be the teens who use it a lot who would benefit more from their packages. People who need quality connections could go with Smart or Globe. That is unless you dont mind having multiple phones like me.

It had built in applications but hooking up to the app market opened it up entirely. My first task was to migrate my e90 info into the Galaxy S. I googled it and it said that the best way was to sync my nokia to Outlook and then sync the Galaxy S to outlook. It sounds easy enough. I downloaded the Samsung Kies software and got it to work the first time around. I synced and all my contacts were in. However, Kies only synced the contacts. No calendar, no notes. Also, the crazy Kies only worked once! When i tried hooking up the device again, it could not recognize the unit. Eventually, i had to just delete
