I have been a longtime Palm user, (starting with US Robotics Palm Professional, then Vx, now I'm using a T3) and the graffiti area on my latest unit is finally beginning to die. Coincidentally, my 3 year old cell phone is also beginning to have some challenges.
I am pretty well fully up to speed with doing GTD using Outlook sync'd with my Palm.
I'm considering switching over to a Treo 650 and I would like to get feedback on the level of success/satisfaction GTD'ers are having with using Treos in real life. Your input would be especially valuable if you switched over to a Treo after using a regular Palm device.
Specific Treo questions:
1) Is it possible to add a new note, contact info or task to a Treo using the built in keyboard quickly when compared to using graffiti on an old style Palm? (i.e. would you rather use grafitti or the Treo keyboard?)
2) Can you easily look up and dial names/phone numbers using one hand on a Treo?
3) Has anyone synch'd a Treo with Outlook or Palm Desktop (not using David Allen software) on two different computers? (I use Intellisync by Pumatech for this now)
4) Does the Treo lend itself to being with you nearly at all times? I am quite active and find that I am able to take my small flip phone on bike rides, but not my Palm. Does anyone out there take their Treo mountain or road biking? Did you find a good "sports" case for it?
5) Is the Treo a generally stable and robust device?
6) Does is work well as a phone? (I like to use a wired, non-blue tooth, headset.)
7) Does anyone out there do their weekly review using their Treo attached to a portable folding "full-size" Treo keyboard?
8) Any other comments or suggestions?
Your input on any or all of the above questions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul
