I especially loved the database program into which I entered information about my favorite restaurants (hours, driving directions, favorite dishes, dishes that weren't so good), measurements I always forget (size of AC filter, windows, etc.), and stuff like that.<BR/><BR/>But one day it got ruined in the rain, so I bought another one on ebay. And then that died. And I really hate spending hundreds of dollars on a regular basis, so I'm trying to use various "hipster PDAs" (stacks of cards) to replace the important stuff.<BR/><BR/>Currently I have a digital camera that is tiny and fabulous and a laptop computer. I now drag both of them on vacations because I can upload pictures onto my laptop and I can also type my travel journal into it more quickly than I can write. Between my work computer and my laptop, I generally have a place to check e-mail and web pages.<BR/><BR/>I used to have a cell phone when my boyfriend needed one for a job and it cost the same to have two as to have one, but now I do without. I still miss it when we split up while shopping or any other time. I still hate the sound quality on cell phones, otherwise I might switch from a landline to a cell phone, but I'm not in the mood to pay for both.<BR/><BR/>My boyfriend has the whole computer as stereo, DVD player, etc. thing going on and a wireless router and I definitely enjoy taking advantage of that. He spends a lot of time fixing things, though, so if I was on my own I'd do those things some other way.<BR/><BR/>**<BR/><BR/>While I was reading your entry, I was thinking that what you really need is a utility belt like Batman and Robin have!<BR/><BR/>Another suggestion is to make your own case if you can sew, quilt, work leather, or anything like that. I crocheted a case for my boyfriend's iPod--just a deep pocket with a very long flap. He puts the whole thing in a baggie, too, if he thinks there's a danger of getting wet. You could sew a belt-loop thing on the back if you wanted to keep it on a belt. Or you could sew a ring to it if you wanted to be able to clip it to something, like to part of your purse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-26253804476232974372007-04-07T21:52:00.000-04:002007-04-07T21:52:00.000-04:00I lug the following electronic gadgets:1.

Cell phone<BR/><BR/>Was thinking about getting an all-in-one PDA, but it's just too expensive. All I do is waste time charging and synching these separate items. Heard great things about the Pearl though. You should check if your company has a corporate discount/deals with providers. That's how a friend of mine got the Pearl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-29788523766692190522007-04-06T22:26:00.000-04:002007-04-06T22:26:00.000-04:00I switched from Virgin Mobile to Cingular and kept...I switched from Virgin Mobile to Cingular and kept my number. It was a very easy process, no kinks at at. If your T-Mobile contract is up or almost up, I would consider it. Although I live in Ohio so Cingular coverage might not be the same and of course, T-Mobile has to release the number so they could always complicate things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-27270586107353423892007-04-05T21:49:00.000-04:002007-04-05T21:49:00.000-04:00Treo...650 yet thinking about the new 700 series.....Treo...650 yet thinking about the new 700 series..iPOD as an essential for entertainment since ditching the TV and cable 16 months ago...My PC and mobile broadband card to reach the outside world and my little radio for local programing and news.Kansas Simplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12521567699275390093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-39107925053401616472007-04-05T18:00:00.000-04:002007-04-05T18:00:00.000-04:00I wish I could ditch the Blackberry but my company...I wish I could ditch the Blackberry but my company won't support the Treo...Madame Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536189690094235926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-65909866519034092552007-04-05T17:48:00.000-04:002007-04-05T17:48:00.000-04:00I have a Motorola Q from Verizon.

I used to have Cingular, but I got rid of that phone since work pays for the Verizon one. If I ever go over what's "reasonable", I just pay my office for it.

I replaced both with the Blackberry Pearl, which is less bulky than either and works better. I <B>LOVE</B> the Pearl. That said, I didn't use the Palm functions of the Treo as much as you seem to--I carry a paper day planner for most stuff.
