all of those applications exist. some of those features have multiple applications to choose from. the only thing i am not sure about yet is sync of a calendar to a desktop system.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 4:38 PM, Brolin Empey <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:brolin@brolin.be">brolin@brolin.be</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I use Speak Out Wireless (prepaid) in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. I do not have a data plan. I am wondering whether a FreeRunner will work well for me. I am currently using a Nokia 6103b.<br>
<br>
I need all of these features:<br>
<br>* a <b>reliable</b> phone for SMS and brief voice calls. The FreeRunner would be my primary phone, not only a toy.<br>* tasks/todo lists (including tasks with and without alarms, recurring
and non-recurring tasks, tasks with and without due dates, tasks with
and without attached notes)<br>
* I need a calender to choose dates like on Palm OS. I do not want a date chooser like on my Nokia 6103b.<br>
* calendar (I enter all of my appointments, work holidays, and other
dates I want to remember, then the Agenda/overview screen of the
Calendar/Datebook (?) Palm OS application shows upcoming events in the
next 2 weeks or so. I want something similar on a phone. I need
support for recurring events and events on a certain day but with no
time.)<br>
* textual notes (so I don’t have to keep track of lots of paper notes),<br>
* a calculator with features comparable to the Palm OS application EasyCalc<br>
* enough storage for SMS messages so I never have to delete old SMS
messages. I never have to delete old e-mail, so why should I have to
delete old SMS messages? I have to keep deleting old SMS messages on
my Nokia 6103b because it does not have enough storage.<br>
<br>
<br>
Not required but would be nice:<br>
<br>
* a drawing/painting application<br><br>
Will a FreeRunner work well for me?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Brolin<br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br>Sometimes I forget how to do small talk: <<a href="http://xkcd.com/222/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/222/</a>><br>
