Smartphones, email, and the MLS...From a Seattle Realtor

I have been using my Palm 700wx almost all year and I love it. I needed a new phone desperately when I bought it, but hadn't really planned on using the MLS features on it. I mostly wanted it so I could check my email wherever I was. This phone has been amazing for that!!!!! No longer am I stressed as to when I will get to my computer again because my emails are all right there immediately!

After I got comfortable with my phone, I took the plunge and decided to turn in my local Seattle real estate MLS key and use my phone to open up houses. The NWMLS gave me software and it loaded easily. I have never been happier! It is so much easier to keep updated and use! I definitely recommend it!

Is there anyone else out there who is loving their smart phone?

Hey Courtney! I've been thinking about taking the SmartPhone plunge. What cell service do you have? Any problems with sync'ing the Palm to Supra?

I have a TREO and I actually want to throw it out the window! It is mostly because of dropped calls not the functions of the device. I did not have dropped calls on my old Razor phone. BTW, I live in the county.

Love the MLS features and if the Blackberry had the capability I would go back to a blackberry.

I'm an early adopter and have been using smart phones for years. I could not live without it - it is my brain.

Our Supra keys in Dallas can be loaded onto a smart phone like a Treo but I have a Blackberry for data and a RAZR for voice so haven't done the hybrid thing yet like you Courtney. Sounds cool!

Courtney...

I can't get myself to upgrade. I keep asking myself the age old question...

Do I need it or do I just want it?

I'm a little weird when it comes to buying things like this :)

TLW...ROAR!
