What is the best cell phone for a referee?

If you have an application that you can read Excel spreadsheets or a PDF file on your phone, you can transfer your ArbiterSports schedules over to your phone. How I do it for my Palm Centro is I use a desktop to save my schedule as a PDF file, and then attach it to an email to my phone, open it, and save it to my phone. Sounds like a lot of steps, but it beats sitting around waiting for the Arbiter folks to come up with an app.

I do that too. That way I've got it in more than one place. Emailing the schedule gives me the capability to have my partner's name ready, and their contact info. Sometimes that gets lost when doing the outlook sync.
