Given that I have now delegated pretty much all of my long-term memory functions to my Outlook calendar, I figured it was high time I got myself a smartphone. I’ve been toying with the idea of an MPX-220 for a while now (what can I say; I like clamshells), but they’ve been having way too many firmware problems for me to be comfortable buying that phone. Instead, I ended up going with a Scoblephone. So far it’s pretty cool.

I was pretty impressed how easy it was to get Exchange ActiveSync working. Poking around the phone, there are a lot of interesting things to explore. I think it will work out just fine for my needs.

Now all I have to do is get used to locking the keypad before I throw the thing in my pocket so I don’t accidentally dial 911 as I’m walking down the hallway.
