outSmart Your Smartphone

<p> Hi Everyone! </p> <p> Sometime ago I set up categories such as in my contacts:Buyer, Family, Seller, Other, Seller &amp; Buyer, attorney, electrician, etc. You get the picture. Well, I see it but can&#39;t figure out how to actually use it to do a search. Say, if I&#39;ve forgotten a name, but do know I want a list of electricians. Can you advise? OR maybe it&#39;s not meant to do a search using the category? If not? Why is it on the phone? I have a Palm Treo 700. </p>

<p> My TREO Palm 680 had a feature that allowed me to pre-set the AREA Code that I dial the most. I can not and I am not sure the feature is available on my TREO Windows 750. Does anyone know if there feature is available on the windows based phone? </p>

<p> Just got an email from an agent who&#39;s Smartphone might have taken a beating at the beach and I wanted to pass along some thoughts. </p> <p> Sand is not a friend to electronics, the sand can get in behind keys and buttons causing them to not work! </p> <p> If you use a stylus with your device the sand dust will grind your screen leaving permanent scratches on the glass. </p> <p> Putting them in a plastic bag might not be the answer either, if there is moisture in the bag you are giving your phone a sauna. </p> <p> You might look better with a tan but your Smartphone doesn&#39;t. Direct sun heating up the device can ruin the screen. Now don&#39;t panic, we are not talking a few minutes in the sun doing damage. </p> <p> Oh suntan lotion is tough to clean off buttons and keys. </p> <p> The biggest thing to remember your Smartphone is not amphibious. Use care and common sense and you should be fine. </p> <p> Dick </p>

<p> Hi, Guys! I am new to this discussion and this may have been covered. If so, please point me to the information because this is driving me nuts! I really like my new Treo but...I am having trouble with emails. The emails themselves are coming through just fine. The problem is how many copies I get. Time Warner (TW) is telling me this is the only way to set this up. So, I get one copy to my Treo, two copies to my laptop and one copy is saved to the server. This necessitates going into webmail several times daily to empty the server. The number of emails it takes to fill up the server varies as to the size of emails received so it makes it difficult to know when to empty before receiving the message that I have reached the high water mark. At that point emails are bouncing. </p> <p> Please, if anyone else has this set up (Treo and TW), please let me know if this is how you are set up. It really sounds crazy! I have spent hours, literally, on the phone with both parties with no change. </p> <p> This phone was supposed to make my life easier, and it some ways it has, but this is making it more difficult. </p> <p> Any help will be appreciated! </p> <p> Kat Gardner </p> <p> RE/MAX Island Realty </p> <p> 843-422-3381 </p>

<p> Hi Dick and all, </p> <p> Thanks for starting this group! Not sure about anyone else but I needed it! </p> <p> I am using a 755Pand I am very happy with it...it is my 3rd palm phone. My first question is: If I disable my touchscreen and I am on a call; how do I switch over to another incoming call? </p> <p> Thanks in advance for your response </p>
