How to convince the boss to expense your Treo 680 smartphone.

How to convince the boss to expense your Treo 680 smartphone.

For all that it does, the Treo 680 smartphone is surprisingly affordable. But hey, who doesn't like getting an even better deal? Here are just a few ideas to help you justify the expense to the brass upstairs:

  • You'll spend less time on the Internet at your desk. It's true. Now you can look up fun things to do this weekend, check sports scores, and make restaurant reservations even when you're not at the office.

  • Since you can edit Word and Excel® documents—not to mention view PowerPoint® documents and PDF attachments—you'll be a productivity machine. The fact that you'll be getting more done in less time? Well, that'll be our secret.

  • Sure, it looks cool when you put it down on a conference room table, but you can position it to your boss as "improving the company's professional image." Consultants get away with this stuff all time.

  • There'll be no more creative excuses for missed meetings or incomplete action items. The Treo 680 gives you a calendar, address book, to-do list, and memo pad. You can literally store thousands of contacts, appointments, and notes and synchronize all that data with your computer so it's never lost.

  • The built-in digital camera is perfect for capturing notes off a whiteboard. Or even better, capturing moments at office birthday and holiday parties. Tell your boss that that sharing these photos will be a big boost for company morale. And that you won't use the camera for anything else. You swear.

  • The conference call feature is not only productive, but it can save money on your company's phone bill, too. Say you need to get a few vendors together to give input on a new project. Get them both on the phone at the same time, and eliminate any confusion or redundancy. Of course, conference calling your friends across the country after your alma mater's big game is pretty useful, too.
