Reverse phone lookups from your smart phone
Directory Assistance for Palm will do phone lookups, reverse phone lookups, driving directions and maps. It’s probably on everyone’s top 10 list of favorite palm applications.
Reverse Phone Directory (www.reversephonedirectory.com ) works fine on the Treo browser.
Often when other reverse lookups won’t give you useful information, Who Called Us will. They catch the unlisted sales calls and other undesirable phone numbers. From your web browser type:
http://whocalled.us/lookup/9998887777
Where 999-888-7777 is the phone number you are researching.
Use Flickr from your picture phone
Flickr has a mobile website Mobile Flickr pretty much everything you can do at Flickr can now be done from your smart phone. I’ve done this with my Palm, WM phone and iPhone. Any phone with a camera and email will work.
In your free Flickr account is a Flickr upload email. If you send picture email to that account it will automatically put the image and the subject and text of the email in your account pictures.
It can also automatically post this message and picture to a blog if you wish. You have two Flickr email accounts for uploading images. One will upload the image to Flickr. The second will upload the image to Flickr and post the image to your blog that you connected to your Flickr account.
How to find starbucks from your smart mobile phone
You can go to mobile.starbucks.com and search by zip code or by city. If you search by city it’ll ask you a street name. Totally painless all in all.
Or find yourself on your google maps phone application and tell it to search for Starbucks.

If your Treo resets when you go to memos…
If going to memos re-sets your Treo or you keep getting “MemoMain.c Line:2511 bad record.”
Try this:

You likely have a corrupted memo.
