Thanks :-) Didn't work. What I did do, that seems to work, is to put apple-iPhone in the Doesn't Have field. I chose Delete for what to do with the emails. When I went to save the filter, it keeps wanting to choose skip inbox then delete. Looking at the Skip Inbox choice, the word archive is in parenthesis next to it. Does that mean gmail will archive all the *Hotmail.com emails and also delete them from my Inbox? I just want them deleted.

Thanks :-) What happened was that I had 21 messages when gmail tested my filter. All were the adult Hotmail ones except one from this group asking a Hotmail.com question. I checked their email addy and it wasn't a Hotmail addy. Just a reference to Hotmail.com in the body of the message.

Anyway, hopefully my problem is solved.

For those of you with Androids, how truthful do you think this story is?

Unlike Apple's iOS, Android phones not getting updates http://t.co/QO7Y5stb

Very - the difference is, if you root (the Android equivalent of
jailbreaking) you can install whatever ROM (flavor of the OS) you like.

For example the "Nexus One" which is maybe 20 months old and was the next to
last "Google Experience" device (designed by Google made by HTC) will not be
given the new OS that is coming out on the "Galaxy Nexus" in a month or so.

On top of that, there is a new "must have" Android device at least once a
month and many more "lower cost" ones more frequently, all running old
versions of the software with no update scheduled or planned.

Very true. I have the EVO 4G and unless I hack it, I will never get another
update ever and this was Sprints BIG iPhone alternative.

Because of update failures to the Droid, in the future, will you stay with Android or switch to something else?

Very truthful. I had the Behold 2, the Evo 4g and my husband had the Samsung Epic 4g. Htc kept the Evo up to date but Samsung is terrible. Android is all over the place and it's very frustrating when you are locked in a contract.

When I got my 1st, 2nd and 3rd Nokia feature phones, I never thought about software upgrades. I always thought that to have the latest and greatest, I needed a new phone. Along came the iPhone. I had to have it. Then came iOS updates. To me, updating the iOS was a new concept. Are there other companies making Cell phones that do regular updates? That is, other than Windows or Blackberry.

Its got some truth to it. But what it doesnt address is why some of the devices do not get the updates.
The hardware simply isnt compatible.
The iPhones have literally a couple of different hardware builds.
Android OS has more then that in manufacturers alone, then add each manufacturers twist on hardware specs to make each carrier happy.
A great example is the Galaxy S class of phones.
ATT/TMobile had the Captivate / Vibrant. Pretty much same devices, but hardware were different because TMO uses different GSM frequency bands.
Then Sprint had the EPIC, that device was completely different, it had a physical keyboard. All of them had similar displays.
Google releases the OS to the manufacturers, who then customize their software.
HTC adds Sense, Samsung adds TouchWiz, and Motorola adds MotoBlur. (i hate blur by the way.)
THEN the individual carriers want to add their own software to it. Adding more and more layers to the OS. Keep in mind this takes so much time a new device is right around the corner. The Nexus line of devices is pure android google software. No manufacturer stuff or carrier stuff.
Ok so HTC and Motorola seem to be doing pretty good at keeping devices updated. Samsung seriously dropped the ball with the EPIC.
Recently it was announced that all manufacurers who carry android devices will and should support upgrades for 18 months after relase date. IF the hardware will support it.
With that said some of the older devices are not able to support the new releases of android OS.
Android 3.xxx is for tables only. Android 2.xx is for handhelds only. While 2.xx can run on some tablets, like my Galaxy Tab 7, its not the other way around. 3.xx has a new feature to work with large screen devices, such as tablets, as well as dual core units.
Android 4.xxx will support both handhelds and tablets. Its targeted at units with larger screens and dual core devices. Specifically to take advantage of dual core procesing to make more efficient use of battery.
Sure we are fragmented, but i call that choice. I call it freedom to choose what accessories i want, what manufacturer i want, what carrier i want and so on.
For years the iPhones were exclusive to ATT. They all look the same. :) I had an HTC EVO 3D and it was a great phone. A week ago i went out and got the Samsung Epic 4G Touch. Wonderfully huge display with great colors. I also carry an iPhone 4 that my work provides. So i get the best of both worlds.
But i find my self always wanting to use my android device for more stuff.
I dont want to make this an iPhone / Android debate. But there are some very good reasons why the android market is so fragmentted with devices, versions of android and so on.
Most android devices are great devices, and the iPhone is also a great device. This statement in the article bothers me "apparently Android phone makers think they can get you to buy a new phone by making you really unhappy with your current one" If that were true, no body would by Android.
I hope samsung learned a less when they failed to produce a valid update for the EPIC. While HTC managed to win a lof of their old customers over.
But not me. I rooted my EPIC 4G and put a custom ROM on there which blew the stock software out of the water.
I think thats another thing that drives android users to android, the ability to Root, and load up custom roms on devices.
But thats a whole differnt story there.

AFAIK the Symbian-based phones are/were upgradable, as long as the hardware
supported the newer OS. These were mainly Nokia but there were others such
as the Sendo I still have.

I just upgraded in the past couple days. I have the 4G. I had this hesitation problem before the upgrade. it has been happening on and off for awhile, especially on safari when i go to search something. I type a letter and then it stops and I have to wait till it starts again. If I type while it is hesitating, it eventually prints out what I was typing.

After using my thumbs and fingers for a couple years, my iPhone typing skills are pretty decent. However, in the last week or so there are times when it will be 5-10 characters behind - it will hold while I type, and keep "clicking" as I hit the letters, but they will not display as I go.
