I am thinking of upgrading to an i500. I have a few questions I am
hoping that someone here can answer, because I keep getting conflicting
info from SprintPCS.
BTW: I have looked at the treos and they are just too big for me and I
don't like using the keyboard. (I know you can get software that will
allow you to write graffiti on the screen, but you still have all that
keyboard space wasted)
I plan to use the phone to do the following:
- make phone calls
- browse the web
- check my POP3 email account
- check my IMAP email account
- check my gmail email account
- maybe send/receive some text messages
- remote hotsyncing with my primary computer
- use as a datamodem for my laptop to access the Internet
- use as a datamodem to hotsync a palmOS Symbol spt-1800 barcode
scanner with a demo desktop that has a phone modem and is running the
hotsync software (this is for work)
I understand that I will have to install additional software to get
some of the above functionality and that some of that software is not
free.
1) What additional Sprint PCS services does one need to take full
advantage of the i500? (i.e Will vision allow me to do all of the
above)
2) I am already using a palm OS device, but I don't take it everywhere
with me. I would like to be able to share my calendar and phonebook
from my primary palmOS device with the i500. Is anyone doing this and
if so...How???
3) What other cool things can you do with this phone?
4) Can you point me to any neat i500 websites you know about?
Thanks
