Misc toys - Siemens SX66
The Siemens SX66 is a PDA phone combo. I'm using Cingular for the provider. The phone part of this would have almost 11 hours of talk-time if not for the PDA functionality. The combo of both works well together especially with a few extra Pocket PC software pieces that finish out the unit.
Misc toys - Phone Alarm
Pocketmax has a great program for those who use Pocket PC based cell phones to support profile switching. The software allows the user to change between several "profiles" which adjust everything from ring volume, ring tone, back light and many other settings with just a quick tap on the today screen. Additionally, versions 1.22 and newer allow most phones to use "cell ID" to change profiles.. ie: when you get home, switch to home profile.. when at work, automatically change to "meeting" mode. ..and most important these days, the program is user-friendly.
