Could some of you give me examples of how you utilize text messaging in your daily routine. Are you using it to save your voice minutes. Could I be say using it when I'm in the car and my assistant needs a question answered, could she type a message on her computer and email it (text message it) to me. Could I then respond by highlighting a preset response back to her?

Now that I see how easy it is to read the #646 text messaged response on my screen from verizon telling me how many min I have used I'm thinking I could save time and not get into drawn out phone conversations with callers.
I avoided this due to the fact that my past StarTac, TimePort and 6035 phones were to hard to read on their tiny 3 line screens (the 6035 was a little better, but still hard to read) but the 7135 palm screen is great. I also avoided text messaging because it went against my min when I was with verizon. My daughter just asked me if my new phone alerts me when I get an email message but in the past I avoided email because I thought it would just pass along the spam too.
But text messaging, no one would know my address unless I gave it to them.
Could I also send messages from the phone to my sales assist. computer.
I already pay $45 mo for road runner and I was trying to avoid the Verizons high speed network as it will push up my monthly costs for something I might not use that much. But now I realize that adding on text messaging will only cost me about 75 cents a week.

So how do some of you make best use of text messaging?
If I also get into email with this phone what's the cheapest way to go. Do I start with the 7135's CD and load the email program on there.
Your thoughts please
