Got a new Treo 650 phone with Verizon. Steve DeAngelis of Enterra convinced me to get one, because you're basically never out of touch on anything with one, and that's cool for a remote employee like me.
It's basically a Blackberry merged with a Palm Pilot merged with a cell phone that has all the usual camera/video fun--plus you can surf the web (not just in some data sense, I'm talking the full graphics, Real Audio etc.). Hell, I think I could listen to Packer games over the radio/internet/cellphone on this thing (which is cool, because it means I could basically listen to the Pack anywhere).
Also got that Star Trek like earpiece (Bluetooth) to go with it, and extra power cords for everything for my road gear (otherwise you're always forgetting!). Now I can check BFA's Amazon rank wherever I am, which is proving a bit addicting. Complex phone, and yet since I've owned Blackberries, high-end phones, and Palms in the past, it's not too bad. Just some stuff to set up on the Internet for passing along the emails.
Most interesting possibility: I can access Movable Type via the web surfing function (unlimited for about $40 a month), which means I can now blog from pretty much anywhere, anytime.
I foresee many frightening possibilities . . .
I will endeavor not to break too many rules.
