- Text messaging
- Getting and sending email
- Bluetooth syncing with my iCal calendar and address book.
- A camera (maybe to take up Joel on his suggestion to get a pic of College-boy Matt). But I would never stoop to trying to snap stud-boy Doug the cycling teacher...
- And because of events like this, I'd like to have it work in the Metro, which I think limits me to Verizon.
As an aside, I thought about ditching my lanline after getting a new wireless but realized that I can't: My TiVo needs the line to call in every day and get the schedule. My TiVo talks on the phone more than I do!
The Sony Ericsson Z600 looks really cool, but I can't seem to find any service who sells it. Supposedly Verizon is offering -- or is about to offer -- the Motorola v710, and it looks okay too.
Anyone have any suggestions? Input?
Anyone?
Bueller?

re Weather Pixie:I know, he changes clothes but never wears shorts! :-(
Why doesn't your TiVo use your home internet connection, like mine does?
I got rid of my landline a while ago and use Vonage through my cable modem.
I have a Series One TiVo (the big silver SONY box) that only works via phone as far as I know. I've been hesitant to get a newer one because I bought lifetime subscription service for the old one and I'm sure I'd have to buy it again when I get a new one.
I'd never buy a lifetime subscription to anything attached to a gadget. Gadgets get updated too often, and a lifetime is only a few years.
TiVo's lifetime subscription, $299, is equal to 2 years of monthly charges; I'm one year into my TiVo, and I just *know* I'm not going to keep it another year. So I pay monthly.
Ah well, back in the day the lifetime was cheaper, like $249, equivalent to well under 2 years' subscription (I think they realized their mistake and raised it). I've had mine for about 3 years I think (and they have updated the software on it several times, adding features).
So it worked out for me.
