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. How do you like it as compared to the little black key pad that we have? What are the benefits and drawbacks? How has it helped you in your business?

I like having my MLS access 'key' on my TREO 650 phone with the infra red Supra lockboxes.
It's great because it automatically updates itself each night around 2:00 AM and it also lighten my load of devices I have to carry around and keep up with.
As a side note I was talking to a clerk in the Palm store recently and he told me that if I had a TREO 700, either the Palm or Windows version that I could also use it as a wireless modem for my laptop under my Virizon wireless internet connection plan.

Our market uses TEMPO online for MLS. There's a 'lite' version of the website that MLS members can access from Treo phones and the like, it's got few graphics and uploads quickly. Saves opening up the laptop for just looking up a listing. I love having one toy to replace a phone plus a palm plus a lockbox key. =)

Are you referring accessing the MLS through your Treo? The NWMLS does have something similar to what Leigh mentioned. It's at nwmls.com/pda - basic but does provide pertinent info...something the Display Key doesn't provide.

So, am I hearing that TREOs are better than a BlackBerry??? My husband bought me a BlackBerry but so far I can't get on the mls nor can I access my work email, just my home one. I'll return it and get a TREO if it's easier, does more, AND can be my lockbox key, too! Did any of you TREO owners have trouble configuring your work email? How easy was it, after purchase, to do all of these functions? Was it ready right after you bought it or did you have to buy extra downloads to make it work? THANKS SO MUCH :)
