No kidding. For a company that has really struggled over the past few years financially, it would be to their advantage to not only attract new customers (and win back those they lost like me to BlackBerry), but to also keep their loyal customer base.
Listen, I've been through these experiences where I go with a different PDA, only to be very surprised with something. Take buying a BlackBerry, for instance. I figured it would surely come with a program like Palm Dekstop to keep sync my PIM data. The rep at Sprint confirmed that it did include such a program (yeah, I know... you can't trust those guys). I was very disapointed when I got the phone home that it did not include any type of program to sync with. BlackBerry assumed I already owned Outlook (which I did not). So, I had to go out and purchase Outlook, get my data from Palm Desktop into it, and then get it to sync with my BlackBerry. It was a pain in the neck, and took the fun out of it... not to mention I was without my data while I was messing with all of this.
I don't want to go buy the Pre and have the same thing happen to me where I get expensive surprises. "Oh, you didn't know you need to upgrade to Exchange server to sync your tasks, calendar, and contacts"? No thanks. I want to know up front.
