Cell phones: Need suggestion for cell phone w/organizer
Need suggestion for cell phone w/organizer
by wbrady65 - 1/3/06 4:51 AMI have read some reviews and see that the Treo 650 is the top dog in smart phone industry. I don't need to connect online or get email from my phone, but I would like to combine my old palm pilot with a cell phone. Is there an alternative for someone who only needs the organizer part of these smart phones? Any suggestions would by great.
Thanks
Bill
Cell Phone/PDA
by billyfury - 1/3/06 6:49 AM In reply to: Need suggestion for cell phone w/organizer by wbrady65This is exactly my issue as well. I was all set to buy the 650 when the price dropped to $199 but when I found out I had to sign up for a "data fee" or what ever they call it (I am on Verizon) I changed my mind. I want my calendar and contacts with me but dont need to be checking my email or surfing the net. My old Kyocera 6035 is on its last legs.
thanks!

I was not aware that you had to pay for data service if you bought these phones? Please reply back if your search turns up any alternatives.
Thanks

by rodesss - 1/5/06 12:52 AM In reply to: Smart phone by wbrady65I had bought the Samsung and used it for a couple of days before I was told I needed a data plan (Verizon). If you use a Treo, Blackberry, Samsung...any smart phone, you cannot disengage the data search. I had the same desire for a phone that was not that smart. I needed a great contact manager, message center, calendar, alarm, but with more memory than the normal ''dumb'' phones. I just needed a phone that doubled as a PDA without the constant data search. My salesman told me he saw one man come in with a $2800 bill because he didn't get a data plan. Semi-smart phones are not available. I ended up with the RAZR. It's not perfect, but it is serving the purpose as good as any other phone could and better than some.
Smartphone without data plan
by TDanaher - 3/14/06 6:56 PM In reply to: Smart Phone by rodesssThe Samsung i600 from Verizon is a smartphone with calendar, tasks, full contacts including notes, etc -- all synched easily from Outlook. There is no need for a data plan, i've not had one for over two years!
Verizon may not sell this phone any more, but it's probably available on the net. Or else you could buy mine; I'm upgrading to a smartphonen with e-mail capablity!
MPx200
