My Calendar Solutions: Windows Mobile
My Windows Mobile Pocket PC phone is practically attached to my hand. I was lucky enough to win the i-mate JAQ3 in a contest over at Gear Diary last year, and ever since then the JAQ3 has been my go-to mobile device. It has some clear shortcomings, most obvious being poorer call quality than I’m used to, and although I do plan on replacing it later this summer when my tax stimulus check comes through, I have gotten totally spoiled …

T-Mobile announces new Blackberry Pearl 8120, I yawn.
T-Mobile and RIM announced today that starting April 14, T-Mobile will carry the Wi-Fi enabled Blackberry Pearl 8120. The new Blackberry offering in the T-Mobile lineup will work with the T-Mobile HotSpot @Home service. T-Mobile is seriously missing the boat. I am a T-Mobile customer, and actually a very happy one. I get excellent customer service, which is something I never received from my former carrier, Sprint. The customer service line has helped me through a few small problems I’ve …
