For many years as a Realtor, I lived on the cutting (call that bleeding!) edge. I bought my first laptop in 1984, believe it or not. I lost 3 agents in my firm then because they thought I should have spent the money on advertising, and saw no way it could ever benefit them! Thank You God for small favors! ;-)
After awhile, I noticed that being an Early Adapter could often be expenses in time and money. Learning new technology, trying to keep it all working together, etc. took a lot of time and resources as well. So I slipped into the wait and see... for just a short while, mode. Life has been easier.
A few years ago, our boards upgraded to the Supra eKey and using them with the TREO Smart Phone. We got package deals and training available for everyone. I have loved this phone and have absolutely worn mine out. After talking to my Board techie for criteria, I went to my carrier, AT&T and said " Help me! I need a new phone. I am barely holding it together with big rubber bands. I think it is time to upgrade!" Could you believe they offer NOT one compatible, even if I add a FOB, which I really do not want to do!?!!
I cannot believe I am the only agent with this problem. Someone on rain has likely done everything I am attempting to do (without much success). I hate to change carriers because I have had my number for a long time. And I use AT&T for other services as well. Wiithin a few months our board will have the eKey that does not require a cradle so I may have to rethink having only 1 gadget..
I have no experience with out of network "unlocked" phone purchases which may be my only resouce for a TREO but it could be a possibility. Any suggestions here?
If I (ugh) decide to use 2 devices, what are active agents finding the best and pmost practical Smart Phones today? I am open to real world feedback and suggestions! And I feel sure a few other agents will also appreciate your insight! Thanks!
