[joeynbgky]

There are not to many windows based phones out there. I have 2 different models. I like droid to, but the windows phone lets me open ad proofs, word files powerpoint so much easier.

 

[Mikey P]

Not sure if Verizon offers one yet..

Yes, I use the mobile version daily.

I have documents to go for accessing/editing word, powerpoint, PDF's, excel.

 

[Mikey P]

you use Service Monster on a Droid?


please make your answer very clear.

Mikey I have a motorola droid from Verizon and if you can open a web page with your PC then you can open it with the droid for the most part. Sometimes flash stuff is a little tricky, but there are several apps that let you open anything. I get on online quickbooks with mine all the time.

I am going to purchase a mini laptop and use that out in the field. A phone is nice but still too small of a screen for me.
The size difference isn't enough to make it a PITA but it is enough to make it a "real" internet experience. IMO.

Or I might have to get the new Sprint EVO.
It might be big enough to be ok and It can do anything. shiteatinggrin

Verizon has the Motorola Droid X with the big 4.3" screen, if you prefer slick user interfaces then the upcoming Verizon Fascinate made by Samsung with the 4" screen should be considered.

 

[Mikey P]

I tried logging on to SM with the X yesterday and it said I need IE 5.0

 

[Brian R]

SM is working on other resources but right now its IE only. Another reason for the Mini laptop.

I tried logging on to SM with the X yesterday and it said I need IE 5.0

I don't use SM but have you tried the other browsers to access it? Dolphin browser, Skyfire or Opera are available.http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=browser

 

[tracywalker]

Sm has a prototype mobile version for blackberry Droid etc.

 

[Mikey P]

Got my answer from SM.

They have a Mobile version ready to go..

great news, I knew they had plans to bring it out earlier this year.

I got a HP mini 311 lap top at the end of last year but its a pain having to connect everytime while out on the road.

[joey895]

[-JB-]

so I hear Verizon is coming out with an I-phone?

 

[Wandslinger]

Unfrippinbelievable. I second why Joe didn't send this out. The droid can also be a stand alone wi-fi hot spot-no teathering needed. Just in case you have a laptop or netbook.

 

[Mikey P]

Yep, I canceled my Net Book Air card to save $50 a month and pay $20 to have my Droid act as it's WIFI.


Listened to tunes on Pandora all day today with it. Ear phones act like a Blue Tooth with their own mike in case some one calls while I'm rocking out.


Coolest toy I've bought since my XR

 

[Mikey P]

Just let the Full Circle Girls know about my Droid.

Now I'll get updates through out the day about schedule changes, recording of after hours messages from customers, the ability to look at invoices and estimates all in the privacy of the clients bath room.

Ok Guys, ultimately I realize this is our fault (you not knowing about ServiceMonster Mobile (SMM)). But we did send emails, make posts on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/servicemonster.net), and spoke with many of our customers about this. We released a beta in November and while we are not “officially” releasing it yet (internal systems need to be addressed), it has been production ready for sometime.

http://m.servicemonster.net

We officially support SMM on iPhones and Balckberrys (or is it Blackberries) although it should work on any browser enabled phone.

What ServiceMonster Mobile ISN’T:
It is not: ServiceMonster on your phone.
It is not: A Complete version of ServiceMonster
It is not: An accounts receivable application.

The biggest complaint we have is: “I can’t edit my order on ServiceMonster mobile.” This is true and is unlikely to change due to the hardware and networks currently available.

Then what the heck IS Service Monster Mobile?
It’s a great resource to;
See what your schedule looks like for a given day.
Get routing info or map your location to our next job.
Find a customer, their order history, order history details, and their notes.
Create a quick Job to place on the schedule (this will create a blank order).

While we are on the subject: ServiceMonster and iPads.
There was a great thread here last month where ServiceMonster users talked about using ServiceMonster on the iPad with logmein. We have had many questions about a native iPad application. I think the iPad concept is going to be a major factor for Residential Service professionals in the years to come, but iPad is not ready. Not yet.

And yes, the next generation of ServiceMonster will be cross platform. We are already working on it for internal tools and the results are extremely impressive. That all I have to say about that.

If you would like to use ServiceMonster mobile, send support an email request. They will send you some info on configuration.

Thanks to everyone for continuing to make ServiceMonster the beast it is!
