Guy at work had an antique cell, and finally HAD to replace it. It was literally taped together. After what must have been a hilarious exchange to observe, the sales critter moved him to HTC. Not sure which one, forgot to look. It's his personal phone, not a company cell (or he wouldn't have gotten a droid).
Point is, he came to me to set it up with MS Exchange so he'd have common email, contacts ("people") and calendar. I am loathe to support more than one platform (we use iPhones), but agreed to see if it could be done easily. Sure was. Easier to set up, I'll admit, than the iPhone. Was I ever surprised. But credit given where credit is due: Superb setup.
Also easy was connecting him to our secure wi-fi.
A few minutes later he came to me, saying I'd messed up his Navigator, and he can't live without that. (Hmmm.) It turned out, he'd somehow turned airplane mode on. Without going thru menus, he said. Maybe there's a key combo or top button, I don't know. But it sure was easy to find and fix.
And this is a guy who doesn't know what GSM, CDMA, 3G, 4G or wi-fi are. And I've given up trying to explain.
