Well, my wife finally dragged me kicking and screaming to the Mobile Phone store for yet another device to attach to my hip.
"I can never get a hold of you," she would say sympathetically.
"Well, that´s the point!" was my quick reply. Which may also explain why I have to eat Ramen Noodles every night for dinner....
What phone did I settle on? The Ericcson T68i with the bluetooth built in. Actually, This little phone made me a quick convert. It is so packed with features, I haven´t even learned them all. SMS, email, web...Connecting to the phone from a bluetooth enabled iPAQ took about 5 minutes to figure out and allowed full Internet access including home email and web browsing!
Our friends over at Smart Softworks were quickly able to help by sending a copy of their excellent Smart GSM software which allowed me to easily sync my contact list to the phone. But not only that, I can now pester everyone who has SMS capabilites with little messages I wrote from the iPAQ. Not to mention, it also lets me compose my own ringtones!
My only complaint with the phone is that the fees to connect to the network are pretty steep. And the SMS fees are 10 cents a message. I guess that´s the cost of being ´wired´
I connect to the ol´ net with my bluetooth enabled motorola 270c - which basically no one has ever heard of - hard to find accessories - versus the far more popular ericsson - i use verizon, which has much better coverage near my home in new jersey - anyway, i merely use my local minutes (basically free night and weekend) to access the net on my 3975, at a blazing 14.4k - web pages are pure torture, but e-mail works alright, and i can send and receive em with outlook - i would love to get a 1xrtt or whatever they´re called, and use much faster services, but right now i don´t know of any bluetooth enabled 1xrtt phones that work verizon - but hopefully soon...
