This is news to me but may not be news to everyone.

I was on the phone with Top Producer today helping a customer (agent) and he has a pocket pc phone. We were trying to get it to work with Top Producer Sellphone. Yes we got it to work, yes it sucked.

Top Producer SellPhone is great for a standard cell phone with a WAP browser. But Pocket PC phones (Winblows Mobile) uses IE so we had to enter a special http address to access Top Producer SellPhone. It works but its kludgey.

Getting to the point.

The support rep on the phone said that there is a Windows Mobile and Blackberry sync client in beta right now and the plan is to release it in January.

So for you Top Producer users that want to ditch the Palm and go Windows Mobile you can have your Top Producer data and have Supra eKey soon.

Side note.
I do not recommend Top Producer but I won’t say its a crappy product either. I just thing that most agents don’t need it because they don’t use it to its fullest capabilities and then becomes a waste of money.

If you are one of those that don’t use all the features then just switch to Outlook.

I will have more articles about CRM (customer relationship management) apps soon.

A while ago i wrote and article about how to Tether you Palm to your laptop so you can get internet access.

What I didn’t look into at the time was if it supports Windows Mobile Phones. Well yes it does and it makes life so much easier.

Why would you want to do this?

Well if you have High Speed access on your phone you can use your phone to get internet access on your laptop without having to purchase a seperate Broadband card from the cell phone companies.

You are now saving more money.

The application works with the following phones:
Treo 700w/700wx, Treo 750, Motorola Q, PPC/XV 6700, Samsung I730/I830, T-Mobile MDA, Cingular 8125.

Here is the most feature packed phone coming soon to a market that unfortunately does not include the U.S.A.

The phone is pretty slick. If you were to import it, it would only work on T-Mobile and Cingular ONLY.

Is it a something a REALTOR should get? Not really, unless you want to hook it up to your prospective clients TV and give a presentation on their TV.

The only REASON to really get this phone is if you are like me and you are a tech toy junkie.

Here are the Specs:

The first dual processor PDA-phone, the XDA Flame incorporates the powerful NVIDIA(R) GoForce(R) GPU for unrivalled screen graphics, movie playback, photo viewing, and gaming performance.
A large 3.6″ VGA touch screen and an Intel Xscal PXA processor running at 520 Mhz ensure that you stay productive and entertained while on the go.

- Intel Xscale(R) PXA 270 processor at 520 Mhz.
- 2.0 Mega Pixel camera
- NVIDIA(R) GoForce(R) 5500 GPU
-Wireless LAN 802.11b+g
- SRS Mobile HD surround sound
- USB On-The-Go
- 2 GB Flash ROM + 64 MB RAM
- TV out connector
- Windows Mobile 5 (so far)
- Bluetooth
- Micro SD expansion slot
- 3G – Tri band phone
- Second camera for video chatting
- Built-in flash for the main camera
- The battery power is not final yet (the demo one had 1600 mA)
- Built-in FM tuner
- Business card reader (through camera)
- Infrared (does any one still use this?)
Here are a couple Pics:


Have fun with this Bad Boy

Last month I wrote about Supra e-Key being available form all Windows Mobile based phones.

I called PWAoR for a customer on Wednesday and I have confirmed for all of you So Cal and possibly all California REALTORS that you can know have the Supra eKEY application loaded on your Windows Mobile Based PDA or Phone.

Why is this great?

Because it means for all of you who HATE Palms you can now switch to a Windows PDA or Windows Phone.

Does this mean that Windows PDA’s or Windows Phones are better?

Yes and No. Its a matter of opinion. I am a windows phone junkie. I have NEVER owned a palm since they came out some 10 odd years ago. I can’t stand the Palm interface and its just a personal preference.

Do I recommend a Windows Based Phone?

Yes. Windows based phones have come around in the Past 5 years and are very stable enough now to where i don’t want to throw it at the wall. And you can do MUCH more on a Windows based phone than you can do on a Palm. 

One other Reason – Hosted Exchange syncs better than Windows PDA’s than with a Palm.
