If you’re like me and seem to forget everything lately, now you don’t need to walk around with notes written on your hand or a string tied around your finger. 

There’s some cool new services out there that instantly turn your cell phone into your own little reminder service. With this one, which is free (”only standard text messaging rates apply”) you can text a message right to your computer before you forget that critical piece of information (like an appointment you made, a phone number someone gave you, the name of a doctor your friend recommends). I wish I had this service last weekend…but now I can’t seem to remember why.

As much as we try to resist it (or at least I know I do!), it’s almost impossible nowadays to stay in touch without texting.

Some phones make this task easier than others, and I hear the Verizon Wireless Voyager by LG is tops (actually, I just read it in my April 2008 issue of Good Housekeeping, so I thought I’d pass it along). The price tag is a little steep ($300), but they say it has a “unique exterior touch screen and a large internal button keyboard that puts it ahead of the rest.”

Has anyone tried it? Does anyone have recommendations?
