Treo 700p - kGTD, etc.?
Merlin Also | Jul 9 2006
I've been considering trying a Treo 700p, but the reviews from Mac users seem mixed at best. I get the niggling feeling that the Treo is regarded by many as the rack stereo of mobile phones -- crap phone, crap camera, and crap Mac integration all in one slightly pricey package. Still, I am curiously interested, if it's not actually as bad as people say. Any of you kids using a 650 or 700p (presumably with Missing Sync) to do kGTD? Any general yay or nay opinions on the do-ability/seamlessness/ease of sync of that undertaking? Any general thoughts on whether this is a purchase you'd make again? Got a Sprint phone besides the Treo for doing kGTD? [="1"](And, no, this doesn't mean I'm abandoning the hPDA, either in concept or usage :). Just curious to see if this unit [which has always attracted me] has evolved sufficiently to warrant the price and form-factor)[/] 9 Comments

Mike Davidson is a Mac user and he really likes his 700p. Of notable interest is that he's using it with his mac without any additional sync software. this comment where he says he needs no sync app to do it. I've really been thinking about using the 700p in my kGTD workflow, as long as the 700p syncs with ical it seems it could work. I'm a little leary though, I dont want it to take a ton of work that really ends up just being meta work (it's about the coffee, not the cup eh?). I'd love to read others replies on this. Especially if they're using it. » POSTED IN:
