Treo 650 saves the day on 24!!

[Geo]

Did you see Jack Bauer (Keifer Sutherland) on Monday night? He is the main character on the television show '24' use a Treo 650 to snap photos of bad guys and upload them to CTU?

Geo, you beat me to it. My family thought that I was crazy when I went nuts. That was great. The best part about it was that it was a Sprint 650. Wonder houw much money Sprint made off of that deal. They made it a point to show the Treo logo and the old Sprint logo very clearly. Onbe thing that amazed me is how clear his pictures were. I'm sure their answer would be that CTU had to enhance the pictures to make them legible. I can't wait to see what else they can do with their Treo!!!!

I'm relatively new also, only a month, but I learned some quick lessons.

• Buy good backup software. I use Resco Backup. It will keep mulitple backups meaning it wil keep as many backups as you want as opposed to every new backup overwriting the last (like I think HotSync does). Which brings me to my next point.
• Being new, you will be installing and uninstalling a lot of software, which will cause your Treo to eventually start locking up or reseting. It will take a little while to figure out what you like and what is stable and not stable. If you install something on Monday, then do your back up after that and all of a sudden notice you are getting a lot of random soft resets, you can go back to your last good back up and do a full restore.
• Buy BoxWave Crystal screen protectors. If a woman gets hold of your phone and decides she lies to use your touchscreen with her nails on your virgin screen, there might be one less female in the world!!!
• Last, but not least, SUPPORT EVERYTHING TREO!!!!!!! Read the forum daily. you will learn a lot about your phone. Use the "New Posts" feature and the "Mark Forums Read" (under "Quick Links") feature of the forum to keep track of what you have read and what you haven't read.

You might be right Lulugirl....unless they were sent by the 'blackberries'?

Also gang, I saw last night that a character on "How I Met Your Mother" (the blonde guy who is always in a suit - forgot his name....actually it is Neil Patrick Harris) was using his Treo 650 while on the couch in a living room scene!
I know, I am watching too much TV But it is so great to see the Treo in use on TV, and not just the latest flip phone, or sponsors car.
