Tell Uncrate: How Do You Stay Connected?

I'm a physician depend on my Blackberry Pearl 8100. It's my work and social device. It receives work related email, and I can respond to everyone in a timely fashion. Plus its slim and looks good, and the screen is amazingly sharp. The older blackberrys were just too clunky. The email, browser, and phone are well integrated. Phone numbers that appear in an email can be highlighted and dialed right away. Hotlinks in emails or text messages are connected to easily in the browser. The blackberry 8800 was featured on Uncrate recently, and it wont be long before I have my hands on that.

The best information for blackjack and tethering it to a windows laptop can be found here:

I have tested and can confirm this is the easiest way to do it!

Voice-wise, I just use GrandCentral, which gives me one centralized voicemail box to check all my voicemails. Also it eliminates the hassle of multiple phone numbers from multiple devices and or clients. Now all my calls to my GrandCentral number automatically ring all my current phones, regardless of service provider.

Treo 650

i txt on my awesome samsung X830, although the key arrangement is hard to get used to.

Basically my arsenal includes a Sprint razr for personal calls, Blackberry 7290 for business, Lenovo X60 for business, Dell D620 for personal use, and of course my Verizon Rev-A evdo card.

Use my Blackberry 8700c (cingular service) for personal and business email and phone calls. I have a Dell Latitude D620 with a Sprint Air-Card 595 when I'm on the road.

I use my Treo 680 (copper), for all mobile communication.

I use a Sprint PPC-6700, and I occasional plug my laptop into it and use it as a modem when I'm working late at work and need to get my game fix on.

I constantly refresh my Google personalized mobile homepage for emails and reading all my blogs through Google Reader.

I have a Blackberry 8703e (Sprint), and, when I can, I currently use a work 15" MacBookPro.

I just got a SonyEricsson W880i and I have the Gmail software on it and I set up Gmail to send me an SMS with the subject line of new emails when i get new mail. The phone synchs with my calendar and address book. this let's me stay in touch with what i need to do, but i don't get email overkill. people know that i do not check emails all the time when i am on the road. if they need to get in touch, there is always my mobile phone they can reach me on.

Treo 650.

I use a Sony K800i and a 3G Data Card. K800i is a mean phone, can stream TV to it and everything.

Cingular 3125
Unlimited Data via Edge
Direct Push enabled for my Exchange Email

verizon xv6700. a little clunky, but of course I got it just before the blackjack was released. I second the comment about google's mobile homepage and reader. they're indispensable.

Palm 750...switching to the Blackberry Pearl or 8800 asap.

there's nothing that compares to a blackberry.

once you go black you never go back.

I use my treo 680 from voce, the phone is cool but the personal assistant they include on the service is awesome!! I use them for everything, reservations, directions, sending flowers to my girlfriend when I screw up, don't know how I lived without it before

I've used the T-Mobile SideKick (Danger HipTop) since the first one and nothing beats its interface for qucik-and-easy no-thinking data access on the go.

nokia n73 with t-mobile messaging plan. Thinking about adding on an unlimited data plan, but would only be able to get EDGE speeds with this phone. No UMTS available in the states =(

I have trained a team of squirrels in sign language which they use to communicate with carrier pigeons who in turn scratch the message into the screen of my roommates window who then gets off his lazy Ass and brings me the remote.

I use the Nokia 6265i on metroPCS (a local provider in GA). I pay $60/mo. for unlimited calls (local & long distance), text messages, picture messages, internet, and pretty much everything else.
And that also includes insurance on my handset.

Nokia e61 unlocked on T-Mobile. ROCKS. Just beat SMB 3 using the vNES emulator. Oh, and of course native Exchange Sync is decent for work too.

sidekick 2.

I usually use my Treo as my on the go communicator.

When I need to get online I also use it, tethered to my laptop, as a wireless modem with some great speeds.

My Nokia E61 does it all for me.

Being Deaf, I must have something with a full QWERTY... Right now a RIM 8700 BlackBerry. I used to use a RIM 950 which I still miss, then the ill supported OGO but I will never touch one of those POS T-Blo SideKick or the MDA pagers.

carrier pidgeon. work everytime 60% of the time.

Motorola Q. Wireless Activesync for corporate email, IMAP4 for personal mail.

Actually, on the move I enjoy being completely offline. I turn off my phones when I am on the move longer than 40 minutes so I can actually concentrate and get some things done.

The old saying holds true in my opinion: "If it's important, they'll call you back later ;)"

i have to agree with kilna, people may thing it is a childrens phone but nothing beats out the sidekick phone, and now it had bluetooth, that was the only reason i ever thought of switching to the blackberry...

Blackberry Pearl with Cingular.. Great phone.

words and eye contact

tmobile MDA i picked up for $100
broke college kids can't pay for unlimited data, so i have 3000 texts/picture mails per month.
lots of services can go over text message.

dedicated AIM screen name that forwards all IM's to my phone as text messages, and i can reply.
i can query google via google SMS.
navigation via tomtom navigator software and a GPS receiver.
moblogging to flickr/facebook via picture mail.
also facebook mobile works entirely over text messages.
RSS reader syncs all my feeds and downloads everything to my phone so i can read when i'm on the run.
activesync syncs all appointments/contacts/etc.

when i'm in my classes there's wifi everywhere and i can connect to the internet over the school's network.

it truly is a lifesaver.

I'm online via one of my nokia n800's. It's perfect either airsnorted wireless or a teathered connection to my n73, 384k is ok for out an about. or worst case i like to send messages via pony express.... lol

I use my Sprint PPC6700, with EvDO access. If I come across a site that's just too damned complex to view on my phone's browser (I'm looking at you, Myspace), I can use it as a Bluetooth/usb modem, and it rocks. So spiffy!

BTW: With Sprint, I pay $15 for unlimited EvDO data. Don't let the salespeople tell you that you need the $40/mo plan, it's a scam.

It requires a lot of gadgets to stay connected.

1. Sharp 3G cell phone (for Japan)
2. Blackberry
3. Kyocera Cell phone (for US)
4. Dell D600 and IBM Thinkpad laptops

tip* When buying a new laptop, buy two of them. Seems like a waste of money, but you will thank me later.
