On the "World Clock " there are a few options most people miss. After opening the clock tap on menu and you will see 2 drop down options, "Time Calculator" which you can check and see what time it is where you want to call. The other one that amazes me is "Sun Rise/Set" option which gives you Sun Rise and Sun Set any date you pick in any time zone.
Voice memo's on the Treo 680, 700p and 755p and the Windows devices come out of the box with Voice Memo. Great program to record short messages to yourself and you can change the buttons on your Treo to open it much quicker. Go to "Prefs", "Buttons" and at the bottom of the screen you will see "Press + Hold Side Button", you can select "Voice Memo". The coolest thing about this program is you can record phone calls.
When you call your Voice Mail at the office, home or even your cell do you need to add numbers to hear your messages? What a pain, what if I told you you could hit one button and do it all automatically? Favorites! On the 650's from your main phone screen thumb your navigator down, on the 680 up thumb sideways to find favorites. Tap on menu button and find "New favorite", this opens up for you to add a new speed dial. Under label put like VM, enter the number you want to dial, and if you like select a Quick Key like a letter O for office voice mail. This is now your speed dial key just press and hold that letter. Next tap "More" and this is where you enter the numbers you need. Example if I called my office which was the number I enter on the last screen and I need to reach my extension, you enter the extension first. Remember the letter "p" that stands for pause so where it has "Extra Digits" enter p1234 for my extension then *555 for my pin code. So from now on you just press and hold the letter "O" it dials your number, once connected it pauses (p) then rings your extension (1234) then pauses again (p) then enters your pin *555 and you just listen to your messages.
Remember passing notes in school ? Well now you can Bluetooth notes to each other. Go to Memo write your note tap menu and select send, Bluetooth. The person you are sending to has to have their Bluetooth turned on and be either "Visible" or "Discoverable" depending on model. Oh so you don't get caught by your teacher, I mean broker turn off the sounds. For more tips and tricks go to www.DickBetts.com
