What do YOU do with Treo 650

**micromag** · 05/30/2005, 12:04 PM

I'm curious what uses you have found for your Treo.

Do you track daily expenses with it via Pocket Quicken?

Manage todo lists and meetings and appts?

Just curious in what ways you've found it had to live
without this device and what "apps" you have installed
on yours.

**pr0zpect** · 05/30/2005, 12:30 PM

I use it for music (MP3, AAC, and streaming), video (rip DVDs and watch em in my handheld), e-mail, web, calender/tasks, and messaging.

Software; pTunes, Kinoma, Aeroplayer, Causiere, Khroma, versamail,....

oh yeah.. I use it as a phone too..

Well I'm a student, so I have found that, with the help of Due Yesterday, my Treo greatly aids in keeping track of my homework. I also use it as a primary (yes, primary) camera, and I check my email with it. It is also a great tool for when you are bored.

I use it for pretty much everything that i would usually do with my laptop such as web,email,movies and mp3s. I use the camera here and there but not often. Like Rock said it is a great tool when bored...

That's a pretty good list there..

I use Chatter, Blazer, SMS, and the 'forward all calls' feature of my desk phone to pretend I'm still in the office.

Seriously though, I'm out of the office a lot .. and this phone makes it so easy to work while on the go. Tons of information at hand, and what I can't look up locally, I can surf for. Email arrives before it even arrives at my desktop. Even when I actually in the office, Chatter beeps sooner than my desktop does .. and I use it to let me know I have new email even when sitting at my desk. SMS keeps me current with my SMS enabled coworkers and friends with the convience of AIM built into almost every modern phone out there. And, of course, all that exciting scheduling stuff you take for granted when carrying a PDA.

And yet there's room for a couple of specialized calculators, a comprehesive unit converter, gas purchase/MPG tracking, and the help that Directory Assist provides. "Where's the nearest <place> to here?" is a question that gets asked suprisingly often.

And, finally, when I'm waiting .. wherever, I can read news, surf Treo Central, play Bejewled, or any other host of things that comes under the category of time-wasting.

yet simplicity is good enough..for me anyway...

track my appointments, manage my contacts, mobile messaging and phone, fun spontaneous picture and video taking, listen to .mp3 when i'm bored, and view 'Word' or 'Excel' documents "on the go".....

**MarkY** · 05/31/2005, 09:14 AM
