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

This is why I use a nice elegant S60 smartphone for my communications and media, and index cards for everything else. The Treo is a nice theory but Palm OS just hasn't matured enough to accomodate people who work for a living on more than a handful of projects. Period. Its likely that the Windows Mobile devices will work better. No shit. But then you'd be carrying Windows Mobile in your pocket. And that may make you sterile. The scientists haven't gotten back to us on that yet. » POSTED IN:
