I also tend to use voice memos as reminders: I’ll record them as a voice message and then save that in my drafts store. Sometimes results in some very cryptic middle-of-the-night brain dumps, though.

I used to use the voice recorder, but I prefer texting too. It means there’s a note that isn’t buried.

I’m sure my Treo and my computers have all kinds of better options for this, but when I need to remember something I send myself an email. (Actually it’s an SMS from the phone, but shows up in my email.)

That way it shows up in my inbox with everything else when I get home and I can deal with it appropriately…

I save notes in the notepad section of my phone. Most basic phone models have a notes section or ‘to do’ section or a calendar where you can enter text in each day. That way you won’t confuse notes/’to do’s’ with text messages received/drafted.

Fair point, Paul. I have a plan that gives me 500 free texts a month that I never use all of, so I had forgotten about the cost impact…

You can also save the text as a draft if you don’t want to spend however many pence it is to actually send it.

I still reckon the Hipster PDA is where it’s at, though. You’ll be sure to take it everywhere if you upgrade it to the Hipster Shuffle
