For my day job, I am using this prototype phone and pen. THe phone is from nextel and the pen is from logitec. They connect with blue tooth. After I fill out the invoice there is a little box at the bottom of the page and u just touch it to it and it e-mails my invoice to the office. They get the e-mail and pull it up. There is the invoice in out writing (they have trouble with my writing being so sloppy, but they say they like th challenge). Next they hit a button and all the hand writing is flipped into type, and all info is put into the app. data base. It is different.

What model phone is that?

[PWkid]

They have discontinued that phone and sent me an upgrade.That phone is a pda phone.This is my new one.It does just about everything.Its an audiovoxxv6700

Is is hard to get used to typing on something that tiny? Seems like if you have chubby digits, it would be cumbersome to type. Does it take pictures too?

Yes it has a 1.3 mb camera and it takes video as well.It also has a mini sd slot for storage.64 mb of ram 466 mghz processor,and a million other crazy things that I'll probably never use.It has internet access which I can email right from the phone.

That's the main reason I'm looking a something similar. I'd like to be able to email on the go, check the weather, look up addresses, etc. Plus, I want Bluetooth, and my current phone doesn't have that capability.

I have changed to blue tooth. I love this feature, the office updates my calender and directory. i walk into the office and it automatically up loads and down loads from pc to phone.

The handfree is also a nice feature but i dont use it as much as the data trasfer.

I have a Motorola Q phone that runs Windows mobile. It gets email instantly and and stays in sync with Otlook on my laptop through Microsoft Exchange server. It has unlimited internet and hooks directly to my laptop via usb for high bandwith internet on my laptop as well. My website has form mail that arrives immedietly in my inbox after a customer completes the fields and submits.
