I don't know how much longer I can sit on the sidelines and watch people enjoy all these new phones. However, I rarely touch my phone when I am at home or in the office because of two programs and I like it that way. It keeps the phones new for much longer than they would otherwise be. If there is an Andriod version of these programs, I will jump ship tomorrow. If not, I will wait.

Hmm maybe Android Screencast for the first link.

As far as the second link, I assume you're able to send/receive texts via Outlook? Pretty much all the carriers allow you to send text messages via Email already using a format similar to <phonenumber@carrier.com>. There's several Android apps that forward SMS to email.

What about this one?

Not sure how either of these will work for you personally.

Hmmm, I didn't know the carriers allowd you to send text messages via email. I will have to test that.

text via email FTW!

If you text internationally, its free!!!!

There is a couple programs that let you control your home pc via Android...I've never tried it the other way around. I know the Android SDK does. Someone let me know if you find a program that does do that, it would be sweet!

Yeah it's been around for a while. For the US carriers:

Verizon:
number@vtext.com (SMS)
number@vzwpix.com (MMS)

AT&T:
domestic-number@txt.att.net

Sprint:
number@messaging.sprintpcs.com (SMS)
number@pm.sprint.com (MMS)

T-Mobile:
number@tmomail.net (MMS)

Full list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_carriers_providing_SMS_transit

Thanks for all that. Do you know how to set this up in Outlook for Sprint? It seems like I would need to know who is on what carrier, which can be a hassle. The program I listed just syncs your text messages via usb.

If you use google voice you can get texts and respond to them via gmail built-in as well.

The only stupid thing is that when you reply to a text via email on android you cannot remove the email quoting, which causes your response texts to be something like:

"Ok, meet at 5.

It's infuriating.

It sounds like you need Google Voice. I text directly from the web while I am at work.

MyMobiler looks like a cool program. Why not jump on an HTC HD2 with WM6.5 so you can continue to use the program? I think you can get the phone for $49 from wirefly.com w/ a 2-year t-mobile contract (at least I remember seeing this number a week or so ago online somewhere).

So for Google Voice, does google give me another number or can I use the current one?

Either.

I have a GV number that's forwarded to my cell. With the GV app, I can text from my phone or from the internet.

I don't have TMo and Sprint has great service and an even better price.

Sweet! You won't regret it.

I was so happy when I switched then I got bored after about 6 months. Then I rooted and everything is new again!

i use mymobiler for some things, especially for screenshots of my phone and stuff. it also makes it a bit easier to navigate for testing, like when i transfer files, install programs and verify registry changes. i cant see using my laptop to sms instead of my phone tho. i have all my sms i want to keep sent to my gmail account already, so a wiped phone wont cripple me in any way. google voice makes it pretty easy to deal with as well, when i want to track stuff with certain people.

FWIW, PDAnet has a desktop texting app that works when you are connected so you can use your PC to text through the phone.
