Well, I had to get a new cell phone in order take advantage of the Chaperone
features on my tech phones. Didn't want to. My old candybar phone was
practically bullet proof. Oh well.

I noticed that the power port for charging on the phone is the same size and
shape as the mini USB connector that connects my camera to my PC. That got
me looking. I discovered that Motorola has a program available called
Mobile Phone Tools that will allow me to connect my phone to my PC and enter
all my contacts from the keyboard. Talk about fast. Took me about fifteen
minutes to manually enter all the contacts, important clients, tech support
numbers, etc onto my new phone. I could have done it even faster except
that I had to keep turning the display back on for my old phone to read
them.

I may actually make use of Outlook as a phone book in the future too. I can
directly copy stuff to and from my Outlook address book. Its kinda neat.
Not all of the features of MBT 4.0 were available for my phone, but just
that one was more than worth the $6 it cost me to buy and download it.

Now to see if I can copy my client names and numbers from the CS to my
Outlook. LOL.

I have that with my VCast phone, bought the software from DBL at half what
the store sell it for.
I also have a 1gig mem card in my phone that I use to take pix of rough-in
wiring when we bury stuff for speakers and keypads and stuff. Go home, print
them out and put in the job folder for when we trim-out. I also leave copies
in the phone expansion card in case I forget the folder. The card stores
almost 1000 pix, so it's really cool and a great time saver.

I also just bought a cheap GPS to go with my new laptop, I can import all my
client info out of Outlook so I can have it with me...and maybe with the GPS
I won't get lost as much! $80.00 for GPS with street level
software...figured it was cheap enough to play with and dang if it doesnt
work well!

tecknowlogy!...love it.

I have been printing the Mapquest map along with the basic client info for
years so techs can't use getting lost for an excuse for taking five hours to
change a battery.

I think I'm really gonna like this cell phone Chaperone feature too.

Yep...I do the same. Mapquest or Google Map in every folder.
