My Newest Toy
I broke the display on my cell phone recently – it was one of Sprint’s original Katanas.
As I grow into my new job, I’ll need to be able to send & receive emails, and may need to be on the phone more as I take my turn being on call. I also may need to be able to remotely control servers from my phone, so I can handle the on call stuff without being tied to my computer at home. So I decided it was time for me to make the leap and get a SmartPhone.
I’ve been with Sprint for years and years, and for many reasons don’t feel like messing with switching to another carrier. So with all this in mind I started checking out my options with Sprint. I asked my friends about their experiences with different phones, and finally made a choice.
Yesterday was payday (FINALLY!), so I went to the Sprint store and bought the phone.
It’s the Treo 800w running Windows Mobile Professional 6.1. (review, review) Being the guy, and the geek, that I am, you know what I’ve spent most of my time today doing! ;-) Playing with my new toy, of course!
So I’ve got my work and home email set up, and it’s syncing my calendar and contacts from home. I told Keith I feel like I’ve got the whole world in the palm of my hand (pun intended)! ;-) I haven’t had internet access on my phone in ages… I cut back to the essentials when we were jumping into the mortgage, and just never added it back on. So now I’ve got unlimited data, text, all that jazz… I’m beside myself! lol
So anyway, that’s my newest toy. :)

Hey Brian, how do like Windows Mobile 6? I’ve always been a PalmOS guy, but it doesn’t like there’s much future left in that.
