[From Craig Yoho] I have a cooked Win Mo 6 ROM on my old Cingular 3125. Win Mo 6 adds extra features to the PIM software which make things like task management much, much more useful, but getting the information from my brain to the smartphone on a standard numeric keypad is another issue altogether. T9 sure beats Multi-tap in my book, but it can still take an inordinately long time to enter the names of people, places and things, especially when T9 hasn't yet encountered a particular word and needs to be taught.
That's where Pocket Informant 8 comes in. Not only does it add some really useful views, which can combine both calendar and task entries together, but it can be set up to remember all of your most-used subjects, locations, notes, etc. Do you have a bunch of meetings in a particular meeting room or at a particular restaurant? Do certain events occur on a semi-regular basis during your work week? Add the required text strings to the "My Text" or "My Location" fields, and they'll be ready for quick selection any time you need them. Without PI8, I don't think I could continue using a standard numeric keypad smartphone, and I'd have to find a way to broach the subject of spending big bucks on a QWERTY device with my wife!
