I dont need an iPhone….The Treo 680 Works Fine

by Ed

I recently upgraded my Treo 650 Smartphone (PDA and Cell phone combo) to the 680 and have unleashed a monster of technology. Although I didn't have my 650 very long, going through the upgrade process forced me to look for better ways of using my smartphone. With the addition of Baby B to our family forces me to become more organized.

Having a kid teaches you how to mult-task, have more than one forces you to work small miracles on a daily basis.

Some of my favorite applications so far are below:

SpashID-Gotta keep up with all your website logins and passwords
SpashPhoto-The best photo organizer for the palm. Ditch the free one that comes with your device
PocketQuicken- It's good to balance your check book everyonce in a while
Documents to GO-Access Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents on your phone
ZLaucher-A more appealing application laucher that allows you to customize the look of your device
Datebook-The best calendar around. Ditch the free one that comes with your device
IconManager-Not really necessary but helps with Datebook above
Snappermail-I am testing this out right now, but like the ability to save emails to my SD card and organize folders

I have visited a number of websites to help with this upgrade process and Treonauts published a post that shows how a power user uses his device on a daily basis. See the link below
