Hate syncing with your computer? Sync with the air! Install PC Monitor on a computer on your network that is always logged in, use Wireless Sync on your device to keep your Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar, notes, and tasks synchronized on both your mobile phone and workstation. With an unlimited data plan, you will always be up to date.

The memory card slot on this phone is for a micro sd card, which I do not feel are conducive to being removed and reinserted frequently.

Many people love the keypad on the front, did you know when you don't feel like sliding out the keyboard to type, you can use the keypad to type just as you would a phone without a slide open keyboard. Why would anyone want that? I used it quite frequently to just type part of a name in to pull up the contact, or if I didn't want to look like I was showing off for having an awesome full keyboard. The coolest part was that you could "dial" the letters on the number pad to search in email and if you are looking up a word, just dial the number it is on and it comes up with the combinations that would be on those numbers. i.e. 267 would find nap and map.

The voice commands take a little learning at first, but it's worth it for the hands free dialing. Hold down the side button, mic icon shows up, say "Call John Smith Cell," it's that easy. My favorite voice command: "Open LiveSearch".

Office Mobile now has an upgrade to allow viewing of Office 2007 files on your device!

Want to take your Windows Mobile 6 device to a whole new level? A must-have add on is LiveSearch. It is a free program from Microsoft.

Free games, wallpapers, themes, and ringtones are also available.

You need to download LiveSearch for maps, directions, traffic reports, looking up phone numbers, Movies, even GPS integration (with optional equipment).

I get lost every now and then, so I pick a place to look up its address as the From and my destination as To and find my way around.

Samsung was nice enough to include both a standard and extended battery with this phone! You will be charging it every night if you will be using it all day.

If you don't have the most recent version that has "Speak" on the left menu key, be sure to upgrade. This is an additional voice command within LiveSearch that allows you to speak the name of business or location, with excellent accuracy.
