I am thinking about upgrading from my 700P to a Pre Plus with Verizon. My
question - is it ready for me to do this? Cost would be about $150 I think (I
have a $100 new-every-two credit) as I am not sure if there is a mail-in
rebate.
I know Verizon will hit me with the $30 data plan fee. Today I use my 700P for:
1. Phone (of course)
2. Calendar (essential)
3. Contacts (essential)
4. EReader (heavily)
5. Memos
Today I don't do any data work - did not want to pay data plan fee. But with
the data plan I expect I would use it more for internet (mapquest, phone number
lookup like pizza place, etc.). I might try to connect my Comcast email but
that is not essential. And my company probably won't permit me to connect it to
Exchange. Today I synchronize my calendar to Exchange using the hotsync and a
cradle.
Are there other things I might find useful that would justify upgrading? My
current 700P is working fine but I saw a Pixi Plus and it was so much smaller
than my 700P. The guy did not have the Pre Plus (Verizon Wireless Zone) so I
could not touch it.
If I do the upgrade it sounds as if I will need to find a way to synchronize my
calendar. My laptop is WindowsXP (we will be going to Windows7 when my laptop
is replaced July, 2011). Synchronizing my calendar to Exchange is essential
but, as I say, today I do this through the HotSync function and I assume that
would still be available.
So, thoughts? I have been willing to wait but am getting the itch.
