The iPhone and Blackberry App For the Busy Agent:

Nyles: Just in case anyone wonders: there are 11 pages of apps possible on the iPhone.  How do I know?  Because after the 11th page it wouldn't let me upload any more.  I am the application queen.  I actually have many more applications on "StandBy" in my iTunes, because I'm constantly trying new apps.  Some are free and some I pay for.  All in all, I could probably keep busy on an iPhone for as long as the battery lasts...  Facebook, Twitter, AR, LinkedIn, Yelp...  You name it; I have it!  Yes, the scanners are pretty nifty. 

Stay tuned to my blog; for I review apps whenever I get excited about a new one.  Check out my old posts for some other nifty applications I couldn't live without.

Nyles:  Yes, I noticed, but I can't bring myself to delete the duplicates.  It still seems so impolite...

Rebecca:  You may want to get an iPhone.  I have both, but my iPhone can do so much more, plus it has so many more applications.  Just my two cents' worth.  I wasn't crazy about typing on it, but with the new 3G and most applications allowing for the horizontal typing, I can now employ both hands and type a lot faster on the iPhone than I used to be able to in the past.  The iPhone beats my Blackberry.  As a matter of fact, I am even thinking of dumping my Blackberry altogether.  My iPhone is THAT good!

My iPhone can do EVERYTHING: it's my e-mail, it's my Internet, my social media, my camera, my video camera, my calculator, my converter, my phone book, my gps, my picture editor, my TV guide, my movies, my iPod.  I even track my jogging and exercise regimens with it.  It's amazing!  If you still get a Blackberry because of your provider, you may want to get an iPhone Touch.  It's everything you have in an iPhone at a fraction of the cost and without having to marry AT&T for your cell phone needs (it's everything BUT the phone).  It uses wireless for Internet access and works every bit as well as an iPhone, without a monthly bill.

Sharon:  You'll love it!  Check out the CalcsFree or CalcsPro blog.  No Realtor should be without that app.

Sharon:  Here's the link to it:

Steve and Dorie:  NO MONTHLY FEES - That amount gets the app and no extra costs after that.  It works the same way as purchasing any iTunes songs.  You pay for the songs and you're done.

Steve:  Apple is my nr. 1 choice, hands down the best phone I've ever had, EVER! 

I even dropped my first iPhone in the toilet, rinsed and disinfected it afterwards and it still works.  I bought a new 3G and gave that one to my daughter, "The Phone Killer"; she's had it for several months and has not killed it yet.  Incredible, but true. 

I prefer using my old blackberry because the keys are so much easier to use, but the new Blackberries are not quite as easy - the keys are so much smaller.  My old Blackberry is on its last leg and I don't like any of the new Blackberries.  I might have to become a one phone agent and let go of my second phone - the Blackberry.

Robert:  I got it right on my second try.  At first I tried to photograph the whole card and it did not read it correctly.  On the second try I centered the data, had good lighting, took a clear picture and it worked beautifully.

Jim:  I played with the first version of the Google phone and did not like it.  It's also significantly heavier than my iPhone.  I like my gadgets to be light.  I paid an arm and a leg for my MacAir in order to save two pounds.  I can lift them at the gym, but I don't want to tug them around every day...

Guy:  "the cat's meow", that's cute! 

You know, with each new software program, gadget or application that I get in order to simplify my Life, I actually end up not saving any more time; I end up doing more business.  I just came back from Vacation and I need another Vacation!  I am too proficient!
