taking notes?

[cheri]

We had inhereted a bank slave when the bank bought a new master so of course all the slaves were given away to people who would take care of them.

my son and I got a lot of use out of playing around with it mostly he had the fun.

remind me to tell u about when he locked me out of another pc...that is a good story for parents lol.

I've got the Q9 which comes with Documents to Go. It also has a Memopad, but you cannot sync the memos with outlook. So, I just created a shortcut to Word to Go on my homescreen. I save my notes as text files. They take up very little space and I know no matter what PDA phone I have in the future, my notes will always be accessible and transferable.

Granted, most people are not this anal when it comes to notes, but I keep notes for stuff like medicines and doctors instructions in my phone for one thing.

Ill Get it probably some day but it will have to be on sale or bundled with something else i want.

Microsoft & Motorola agree with you. Window Mobile 6 Standard includes a MSOffice document viewer and editor. Motorola replaced this on the Q9 series with Documents to Go. In fact, I have a feeling Docs to Go is becoming a cross platform standard. Blackberry just added Docs to Go to their devices (not sure for which carrier). You can buy it for Palm and there's a version for Symbian devices. I think you can even use it with some regular cell phones.

So, when you get your next device, you will be able to use Word as a free sync-ible notepad. That's why I use Word to future proof my notes. I can switch devices and still see and edit them.

That's a very good approach.

I create a task in Extreme Agenda if I have a note I want to sync with my PC. If I make a change to the task on my phone or PC, the next time I plug my phone into the computer, the other device is automatically updated.
