The Newlywed Phase is coming to an end!

By
Real Estate Agent with Your Home Free

I will be celebrating a two year anniversary this summer with my beautiful companion, the Treo 680.  It's been a meaningful and fulfilling relationship with just a few ups and downs.  I am sorry to say that we are closing in on the end of our "newlywed" phase and our relationship has been getting more and more volatile. 

I anticipate buying a new phone before June because my love has been acting out for no apparent reason.  No more auto e-sync, freezing up on me, inconsistent web capability, the earpiece plug is hit or miss...what oh what did I do, my Treo? 

Being an AT&T subscriber and having a spouse with his beloved iPhone, I was curious what my fellow agents are using and if the iPhone is a great phone and is useful, enhances your productivity or if there is a better choice.  The iPhone has a lot of fluff apps that are fun, but not exactly important.  I can't use a Blackberry for technical reasons and I'm not ready to end my marriage with the Treo just yet.  Please share your pros, cons and what real estate apps you have for your smart phone that are useful.  Thanks!

Jennifer uses an I-Phone and loves it.  She can do anything on her phone and they have apps for anything you ever needed, as well as things that you didn't know you would ever need.  I have the treo 800w and hers I phone out preforms it all the time. 

Because of freezing issues with my treo I still use the separate lockbox opener because I do not trust it due to constant failure.

The only thing I dislike about the i-phone is the touch pad keyboard, however, I am sure I would get used to it.

Hi Tricia, I have a Blackberry.  Other than the phone function and voice mail, I use it to check my email, receive alerts, and use the GPS.  I am tempted by the iPhone. :o)

Glad I found your blog.
