Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade my phone and there are a ton of choices out there = me confused :???: .
I've been following GTD for about a year now with mixed succes. Everything runs very smoothly when I'm at my desk / laptop but once i step out of that zone I lose track of things. I've tried carrying notebooks / cue cards around with me but they always get misplaced / lost / i just don't enjoy using them.
Geek that i am i like playing with technology and i know that having a smartphone around will really make things a lot more efficient for me when on the go. Herein lies the problem.
I'm largely undecided between the new Blackberry 8820 (Tmobile Curve) and the AT&T Tilt. Both would do email well enough to suit my purposes (i'm no addict). What i'm really looking for is something that will function really well with my Outlook at work (around which my GTD world revolves!). I organize my lists around the Outlook task categories and would love to be able to add / modify my tasks on the fly (so i can later sync em back with my laptop).
I'm leaning towards the Curve cause of its form factor and the fact that it would be easier to slip into my pocket than the Tilt. Im undecided on whether the form factor is worth giving up on WM6 and the supposedly obvious synergies with Outlook.
I've been browsing through the forums and came across some posts that mentioned managing / entering tasks on a BB can be a pain. Is this true and how much of a pain.
I really want something that i can enter/modify tasks on the go on.
I've been stuck between these two options for days now and I would really appreciate it if you could lend some insight or personal experiences to this.
THANKS!!!!
