Re: Keymaps for Treo or other PDA cell phone?

Yes, I am interested in knowing what I can know about this. I had a  
Palm for a month but returned it because it would not bluetooth with  
my Mac. So traveling the road less traveled I have a least 2  
difficulties to overcome with a phone. Mac compatibility and Dvorak.  
I choose Dvorak because I know where all the keys are already so it  
would be very easy to use compared to QWERTY.

I will try Googling Phones I want but very few will work with a Mac  
and also I refuse to change my Plan with is very cheap having  
unlimited roaming on 2 phones and unlimited data plan on one all for  
the price of $45/month. plus unreasonable taxes. I will get 2 new  
phones for the plan which will return me to a 2 year contract. Ok so  
what if I use it.

So it's back to try another model of the Palm and/or the Samsung Ace  
which is not supported for Mac but has free software and a $30  
software to make it work. The unsupported is tricky because no one  
might be there to help set stuff up. It took hours on the phone just  
to get the Palm Centro to Sync nominally with my Mac but as stated it  
would not bluetooth. I didn't have enough hours before the one month  
trial was over so I sent the phone back before we could get the  
bluetooth to work.
