I haven't tried connecting the BN with a cell phone yet, but intend to go
in that direction in the next month or two, once my daughter is 18 and we
can get her off our cell plan and upgrade our service and phones. As I
understand it, it's faster if you get a cell phone with an infrared port
and use the BrailleNote's infrared port to connect. You can use cable I
believe, but it's slower.
The planner can remind you of appointments if you set the alarm, which will
go off even when the unit is turned off. I don't use the alarm, because
I've heard to many people say they've had problems canceling alarms and
have been embarrassed by their continuing to go off. But I'm in the habit
of checking my planner several times a day, deleting appointments once
they've passed, and deleting items on my to do list once I've completed them.

The planner reminds you when you have appointments, right?
Thanks.
