Here is what all I do on my smart phone.
I use it as my daytimer and my appointment reminder (alarms me 15 min
before appointments I have in my phone.)
I also use to read PRC books (Mobi Pocket format)
I use it to read PDF documents.
I also use it occasionally to read MS Doc's and Excel spread sheets
I have a few games on it.
I have a liturgical calendar on it (Formatted CSV)
I keep some photos on it and some music on it.
I have a portable Bible on it. (ESV/NIC/NRSV)
Of course it is also my portable Address/Contact manager and also my
portable note taker/task minder.
What I am trying to find out is if the Touch can do all this?
I have noticed that Palm seems top have gotten out of the plain Palm
PDA and going to the Palm Smartphone/PDA.
Anything I am missing? (I don't do email as I don't have a data
plan, if it had wireless I would do email on it.)
I also have not done web on it for the same reason.

This is one of the best reasons for ALL U.S. mobile phone carriers
to switch to GSM. With Verizon and Sprint, if you change to another
carrier or plan, you often must buy a new phone. When Cavan bought
an iPhone from AT&T, he unlocked his Sony-Ericsson phone and gave it
to me to use with T-Mobile. If Verizon used GSM instead of CDMA, you
could keep your phone and switch carriers, assuming that there's
coverage in your area.
Does your smartphone/PDA have WiFi? If not you may need a new one
anyway. Are there any used ones you can get? eBay? Are there any
other third party carriers that also use the Verizon network in your
area? How about Alltel? Verizon owns them but has different plans.
Cavan also gave me his iPod Touch when he got his iPhone to combine
his phone/wifi. The Touch is terrific with WiFi, as long as there is
an open network [library, schools] or one where I already have an
account, like at Starbucks. I have a 1st gen Touch. The second gen
Touch can get software to unlock bluetooth, and to use it as a flash
drive. Do you want to have a WiFi phone? Are there enough open
networks where you can use the Touch?
