So, we found out the hard way that the Nokia 6800 isn’t water repellant. Oops. Anyway, I broke down and got the Scoblephone — the AudioVox 5600 SmartPhone chock full o’ features using Windows Mobile. The main reason is I wanted a phone that would sync automagically with Outlook so I would know what meeting I was blowing off at any given time. Syncing with mail was also nice.
So far, it’s been pretty good, although it’s getting all mail, not just mail I leave unfiltered in my inbox (I have a mostly bi-modal mail filtering system… about 4-5 “b-list” folders and everything else in my main inbox). And the vibration seems week. But it does sync with my calendar, so I’m happy!
Sadly, it’s not compatible with the ton of Nokia stuff we have. Alas. And I still really, really want the N90… maybe next year.

Yup, one and the same. He talked so much about it in the early days some other folks named it after him, and it stuck.
I think he’s slated to interview some folks, but then again I could be misremembering it and totally making it up. All I know is he promised me his old TiVo since he loved the Comcast / MS DVR so much (and I didn’t) and I finally gave up trying to get it since he is always out of town! (you hear me Scoble? yeah, I’m talking to you!)
You still want it? Sorry about that.
I’d love to do an interview with you.
