What PDA/Phone for kGTD/Mac?
FuzzyClam | Mar 27 2006
Hi all, Just getting into this whole GTD thing, but I use Win @ work, so I need to carry the whole shebang with me from my PowerBook running kGTD. I have a BlackBerry 8700 which is awesome for e-mail, web (I commute into NYC and I hate carrying newspapers), but really only works with Outlook (I have a PC, but I really have enough of that at work). I'm probably going to return it (I'm on day 27 of 30 of Cingular's return), but I'm hesitant to go back to my p910a because it didn't really sync well via iSync (it's been awhile, so maybe it's gotten better with 10.4.5???). Does anyone out there use Series 80? The Nokia 9300 was released today by Cingular, and I'm thinking this might do the trick (850Mhz, EDGE, good web browsing, Office, PIM, blah, blah, blah). Mainly - will it sync categories somehow? This seems to have been the bane of iSync unless you're using a Palm...I think I have a T3 kicking around, but I really don't want to get into the web via bluetooth stuff again. I really dig Mail/iCal (and soon kGTD???), but the Outlook/Windows syncing has always been quite painless wether it be with SE, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, etc. I want it to work so bad, but if it's a pain I'll have to rethink it. In all these years, I've never actually owned a Nokia...personally, I'm a SE guy, so I'm a bit nervous.... Comments, etc, are greatly appreciated... Cheers, 8 Comments

 "I'm going back to San...Submitted by FuzzyClam on April 12, 2006 - 11:10am.
"I'm going back to San Anselmo, I do believe I've had enough" (B.Dylan) Gonna dust off the old Tungsten T3 to use for my mobile trusted system. Seems that MarkSpace's MissingSync does sync right with categories, and everything that I'd need for kGTD->iCal->Mobile "something". Seems to be the only configuration that "works" with anything resembling reliability. Interesting that category support seems to be absolutely the most requested missing feature I've ever seen in iSync. I don't get it as it seems to be not hard to do. Seems like the only other mobile sync that works (proper categories and no loss of field names) is BB -> Outlook (or WM5.0 which is a 1-1 map to Outlook, but still can't push/sync Tasks and Notes OTA). I use Outlook at work and dislike it to say the least. I'm having a hard time with typing everything into the BB (small keys, lots of re-keying). I have neat handwriting, so Graffiti isn't so bad for me. The BB-Entourage via PocketMac for BB thing doesn't work for me as I use Outlook at work, and categories do not xfer across the Exchange server I use Entourage with (even MS doesn't get it), and Entourage does not sync Tasks and Notes (important for GTD). It seems that with Palm, I'll at least have everything with me sorted/mapped properly. Maybe I can convince the SO that the money saved from the BB plan will pay for a new gadget (gotta feed the habit). I'll let you all know how it goes. Anyone else got war stories about what's easiest/efficient regarding mobile? see ya, » POSTED IN:
