I need a better way of keeping track of my work calendar so I thought of an Ipod Touch. Then I thought maybe I should consider a smart phone.
Yes, a smart phone would do what I want to do. The downside is that our plan would get MUCH more expensive, in the order of $100 a month as a smart phone is not supported on our legacy plan. Nope, not interested in paying that much extra.
So, I have a new 32 Gb 4th Gen Touch I'm playing around with.

I use a pocket calendar book, free from one of the local businesses, if my life was that complicated that I needed some electronic gadget I would shoot myself

And your point would be??? An obvious too subtle attempt to get your phone number to put in my new Touch

No, that's his number. At least, I'm guessing it is. I wouldn't know, of course...

I am trying to decide if you are bragging about having a busy life, or that you can afford a fancy phone, or that you are getting a fancy phone. ;D Oh, and what Jake said. I don't even have a regular cell phone and my social life/appts. are on a Humane Society calendar.

TD, seriously, my DW has some 4G smart phone thing from Sprint, she uses it for work, being a union rep, her consulting business and her volunteer work for the Heart Association, it controls her life, and when it didn't work due to some glitch in the network I thought Armageddon had arrived. Do you want the additional cost per month, is it required for you to do your job, will they pay for it?

TD, I have an iPod Touch and I use the calendar for everything. I always have it with me so when I make appointments, I don't have to write them down and copy them to the calendar. It works really well for me. (Disclosure - I want an iPhone)

LOL!! No, I don't want to pay the additional monthly charges so a smartphone is out. And I hate being tied to my phone but having an update to date calendar would be very nicel.

I had a smart phone (Droid), but I returned it. I had 30 days to return it and hadn't figured it out by day 28, so back it went. I am now using the phone I understand and my monthly bill is $20 cheaper.

I have a T-Mobile Sidekick 3 I use for my work phone. The only "extra" feature I use on it is the email, many of my clients and the social workers I deal with are deaf and it's the easiest way for them to communicate with me.
