Calendar & contact management

1 points by bkj123 17y ago ↗ HN

How do you effectively manage your contacts and calendar? Been using my phone (samsung u740) w/ limited success including can't keep contact info like street address, calendar is hard to see, and not able to sync easily with a desktop app (except bitpim). Do I just spend the cash/reup my wireless contract and go with a new smart phone, maybe synced to outlook, just use an ultra portable pc, paper???? what do you use and how's it going?

Google Calendar rocks for managing your calendar. I don't know a good solution for the contacts.

I know it's un-popular to admit using Microsoft technologies, but I use Exchange/Outlook/iPhone.

I used to have a palm 3. I dropped it. I tried lugging my laptop around. Awkward is an understatement. As you pointed out, the mobile phone is limited or expensive or both. Since I don't need to have instant access to all my contacts and schedule/calendar, I use a moleskine address book for my important contacts. Flexible page layout and I don't worry about breaking it and spending Benjamins for a replacement. I have a simple book calendar. For appointments which I need a reminder, I use Google Calendar, but I don't quite like keeping all my personal info in Google office.

feel like a dork for saying it, but I use a freakin spiral notebook on the go. Then, I just sink it up with outlook when I get home.
