For over two years now, I've enjoyed my hot pink Motorola Razr. It's easy to use, and had all the features I wanted. I could check my e-mail, it had a camera, speakerphone, Bluetooth capability... I really loved my pink phone.
I've vented about my Treo troubles here and I'm on to a solution. I wanted the new iPhone - badly - but I had a year and a 1/2 in my contract with Verizon. Given my history of calling with technical troubles, they did offer me a free 8330 Blackberry curve. … (8 comments)
I admit it. I am a gadget guy. Over the years I have tried to temper this by only purchasing selected gadgets that either combine other gadgets into one or make me more efficient. So, it was with great interest to me when Apple first came out with the iphone a … (11 comments)
I've long contemplated buying a smartphone, such as a Blackberry or a Trio. My real estate business is almost completely web-based, so I really need to be plugged in as much as possible to be effective. Right now, I have to rely on going to my computer to check my email, … (12 comments)

First off I'd like to thank Marchel Peterson for inviting me to the Windows Vista & Office 2007 group here at Active Rain. By joining the group I'm looking forward to learning more about Vista and sharing thoughts (Vista can be so frustrating at times). I don't really know what to think … (3 comments)
I just don't get it, and maybe you can tell me what I am missing here. I have a Treo 750, I have had it for almost a year and half. I couldn't live without my touch screen features (has Blackberry added that yet). It comes standard with the Windows Mobile … (4 comments)
Apparantly, the word is out on how addictive ActiveRain is. My local association (MetroTex Association of Realtors) sent their weekly email yesterday, and within the email was a link to take a survey from GE's Supra to help them design a new lockbox. 
I had so many e-mails from my last post: 
With more and more people (especially in our field) using their phones and PDAs to keep up with the constant flow of email and surfing the web on the fly to save time, there's a flu going around for these devices. It isn't an epidemic yet, but I am hearing about … (14 comments)
Wow, after 13 months of fighting with five (5) different Palm Treo 700wx's, we finally convinced Alltel to provide us with two (2) brand new Palm Treo 755p's last week and we purchased a 3rd one and they are sensational devices so far.
It's that "magic time" for my cell phone contract to be renewed. Trying to choose the right phone can be stressful! So much information and so many options!
My battery is almost dead (in my Cingular 8525) and after about an hour on the phone I was told by AT&T (formerly Cingular) that they do not have any battery replacements in the foreseeable future in the entire country! So it looks like even though my phone is one year old, I … (14 comments)
What a day. I decided that I wanted to have my Treo Smart phone to not only be on my desk top computer but also my laptop. So early this am 5:30am I started to install the new software onto my laptop. I did a hot sync to down load all my … (1 comments)
My poor, raggedy little Treo 650. The antenna-like thingy is loose and can be popped out. I lose my stylus at *least* once a day. I recently had to replace the SD card because I lost my old one after it became disengaged from the slot (I still haven't figured that one out). It constantly … (10 comments)
Just returned from the annual CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) conference in Waikiki, Oahu. As usual, the conference featured great speakers (especially the always-entertaining-and-high-energy Howard Brinton), and two days packed with timely topics presented by panels of top producers from all over the country. In addition to learning about the latest technology … (5 comments)
Hello Everyone: And thanks to all who replied to my previous post asking your comments on Blackberrys or Treo? Here is my update. I bought a Blackberry, and I must now admit, that after having it for 2 months, I do like it better than the Treo. The BB is lighter, … (5 comments)
Article 12 affects your PDA's signature
So back for Christmas, I gave this tech tip....
A REALTOR®'s HORROR STORY!
It was a Treo-full day at GBBR. And when it was over, every agent who attended the SmartPhone Smart User seminar had a new bag of tips and tricks for using the indispensable tool of our trade. 
Please join in on the debate!!!
RE/MAX agents have recently received a great offer from AT&T to get a Treo 750 or a Blackberry Curve for a fantastic price. I'm very interested. I have a Moto Razr V3xx that I never wanted in the first place, which is a total PILE and I hate more than anything. … (34 comments)
I purchased a palm treo smartphone this past spring due in large part to the fact that I can use it in lue of my Supra lockbox key. I've had it now for over 6 months and I must confess, I hate it. The area I live in the cell service is … (16 comments)
How do we best protect all our stuff? iPod's, Treo's, Blackberry's, Tablet's, Zen's, Laptops, camera's, cell phones, iPhone's, Palm Pilot's and... We like our gadgets. Some are most productive in our business and others help us keep our sanity and provide a bit of escape. They all get scratched up.
Many real estate agents, utility service workers, engineers, and government professionals use a Treo smart phone in their business. Here are some tips to keep it doing what you want it to do and fast. The tips here relate to a Treo700wx, which uses a windows operating system, unlike earlier Treos.
For you Treo users who say that it's too much trouble to sync your Treo with your computer and then complain once you have to hard reset and lose all your data, here's a way to at least make sure you don't miss an appointment.
Hello everyone,I created a new tutorial to show Treo Users how to setup the Treo to receive and send email using any POP account.I start with instructions on how to set up an email address if you have a goddady account, but this is not necessary.
Lots of activity on the blogs for this subject. Some frequent questions are best integration with Top Producer, ease of use, reliability.
After making a comment on William J. Archambault, Jr's blog http://activerain.com/blogsview/163249/Counting-On-Your-Fingers , a request was made to share again the fact that the Palm Treo 650 and 700P smartphones have a financial calculator. In fact, these phones have a basic calculator, financial calculator, statistical calculator and several conversion calculators.
What is a SmartPhone? In short, it is a mobile phone that provides easy to operate functionality for mobile communications and computingin one small package. These new SmartPhones were made with REALTORS in mind. Ok that is a slight exaggeration but they work great for Real Estate. With Real Estate programs … (9 comments)
I have been in the market for a new phone and I'm amazed at how sophisticated they have become and at the same time equally amazed at how difficult they are to use. Is there a phone out there that really makes things easier? The Treo must be the cause of … (12 comments)
Okay, so it was a little far fetched and hard for me to get behind the national excitement about the iPhone. I looked at it this way, I had the Samsung Blackjack that I had just bought at the time of the iPhone announcement ($500 thank you Cingular) I mean, I didn't need … (7 comments)
I know there is probably a blog on this somewhere, and I will look for it when I have more time, but in the meantime--can anybody help me figure out which of these to consider? I need something Supra-capable, and want something not-too techie (I've had my Razr for nearly a … (35 comments)
TREO is the calendar with a mind. That is how I feel when I reach to the little memory bank and make a deposit. When I sync it on the computer it has the information there even if I lose the phone
New PRL code is effective as of June 11th 
I'm loving the idea of Linux mixed with Palm's Treo (and have since the first rumors of this surfaced over a year ago) -- and now they have announced Foleo, a larger screen/larger keyboard addition to the Treo device. They didn't have anything like this when I was using the Treo … (0 comments)
The New Apple iPhone - PDA Phone
Hey everybody, please welcome me to the 21st century! For some time now I have been distancing myself from my competition technology-wise. I'm still one of the few local agents that makes a significant dent in the ‘net with my website, http://www.jimludes.com/. I've also been connecting with many of you via … (0 comments)
As a species we have an inherent need to connect with nature. It reduces our stress levels, increases our serotonin levels and generally makes us happier. Plus, sunshine does wonders for our ability to absorb certain vitamins, so we're healthier. 
According to the NAR, 95% of REALTORS have mobile phones! Even more interesting is that in the NAR MLS Survey 2006, 39% of REALTORS who responded said they used their mobile phones to access wireless data from their MLS! That said, the number of North American mobile users that use text … (1 comments)

Wondering what other cool tips, tricks that I might not have for my phone that other agents have come across. Some of the really great things that I use on my phone already are:
"Out in the woods or in the city, it's all the same to me, when I'm driving free." When The Who wrote "Goin' Mobile," I doubt they had any idea how easy it could be to work while away from home unless you were a traveling salesman or rock band. Well, … (28 comments)
Technology can be a distraction or it can add to your arsenal of real estate weapons. These weapons are not for destruction, but quite the opposite, they are weapons to build a business, create value and serve.
I have had a lot of questions from Realtors/Brokers regarding the .mobi domain extension. So here goes.
I'm putting my Verizon XV6700 up on Ebay today since I switched to a Treo. (anyone interested in purchasing it???) I'm also going to be putting on many other tech toys on ebay today: a Skytel 2-way pager which I don't use, a Motorola alpha-numeric pager which I don't use, and a … (0 comments)
So, what's with all the recent posts from Ray Cobel in the Real Estate Virtual Assistants Group?
A student came up to me on break in a recent class, all excited about what she had just done with her TREO 650. She had received a call from a buyer prospect wanting more information on a home. She started up the web browser on her TREO and went to … (8 comments)
I tried the google maps out several years ago when it was in beta. The palm based version was horrible, so I never used it.
I have the Treo 650 and looking to upgrade does anyone have any suggestions. I would like to have the windows based series and they have so many different models now. I have many friends that use the Blackberry and seem to love it. Mine drops calls frequently and scratches easly. … (1 comments)
I have recently purchased a Palm Treo and can upgrade my key to be on my phone. From my "preview", I have seen that the MLS access from my phone is not as exciting as I thought it would be.I am sure some of you have the access on your phones. … (4 comments)
If you're a realtor and you're using a TREO, which i recommend, at least in Atlanta becuase the Supra Key will run on your fon, you MUST get a copy of google maps for the TREO. Do not go to bed tonight without getting it. Open a browser on your fon … (3 comments)
FREE Blackberry 8700C
Our MLS is going to change to the i-box from supra next week. After looking over their information I'm thinking that I will need to get a Treo. I'm with cingular and they only have the Treo 650 however I understand that there is a 750 version that may be coming on … (6 comments)
Any of you have any information on the Treo PDA cell phones. Thinking of upgrading and just wondered what your experience has been. The 650 or 700? Do you use it to open your electronic lockboxes? Do you use it as a modem for your laptop? How long have you had … (5 comments)
OK. So this is the first in a series of posts about Podcasting for the real estate industry. Let me fist answer this basic question:
