[pianotech] Cell Phone for Business

[bppiano at aol.com]

Since people are chiming in: I use the LG Instinct (CT810) with AT&T. ?It has: Windows mobile 6.1, touchscreen, GPS capable, can do calendars, contacts, either Tunelab or Cybertuner (maybe others as well - Verituner?), alarms, reminders, etc... ?Basically my entire business. ?I hate carrying multiple devices on my person.
I'm down to a small flashlight, a multi-tool and my phone. ?Of course I have backups at home, one Ipaq, a regular cell phone, good maps, desktop computer as backup info. ?I don't use the GPS on the phone for various reasons; $25 extra per month for data fee, received a GPS unit for father's day.




Overall, I'm happy with the LG. ?It has a rather small footprint which of course has the obvious advantages and disadvantages.




Every wireless provider has a similar phone comparable to each other. ?However, no phone I've encountered has the reception quality of the Blackberry which of course is not Windows Mobile. ?There is a single note tuning program for the Blackberry (Java) that could be used for setting first pitches. ?Anyone have experience with it?




Well, there's my two cents. (so to speak)

I might as well chime in.

I use the AT&T Go-Phone plan. You pay as you go. You can put in as much
as you want. I put in the max $100. It's $1 a day (as you use it) and
10cents a minute.

For me, it lasts about a year. Of course, I - only - use it for business
and/or emergencies.
