Hello, remember us?

We're BNUG - and we've changed a few things. We meet at Microsoft's Waltham offices now (where half the surviving user group community meets, too), and we've moved from the second Tuesday to the first Tuesday of each month. Come out and see us - since the move, attendance has been quite good now and we've had some really neat topics of late.

Also as a follow-up to my post a few months ago about my Treo (shamefully, the last post on this site in over 4 months - we're sorry!), the Jawbone is, in fact, amazing, but the Treo is still crud. However, hope is on the horizon - Palm currently has a major new release of the 700p firmware in carrier testing and due around the end of May. In their new blog, more details are given. Should this fix things properly, I would go ahead and recommend Treos again - if not, look at some of the latest crop of GSM Windows Mobile phones as a good alternative and give a good look at Apple's iPhone when it ships soon.

Hopefully, more brilliant technical commentary will be forthcoming soon from my BNUG brethren...
