A new toy arrived on the Virtual Admin desk on Friday, a shiny HTC Tattoo phone running Android 1.6…woohooo!

I have been looking at the smartphone world for the last month or so, wondering how this must have gadget could improve my day to day business life as a Virtual Assistant. Well the only way to find out was to take the plunge and buy one. Although the Tattoo is not the highest spec phone that HTC produce, it is compact, easy to handle and provides me with a low cost entry in to the world of the smartphone, so it fits the bill perfectly.

As a Virtual PA, I hope this phone will give me the flexibility to be away from my desk for short periods of time, whilst still allowing me full contact with my clients through voice,sms,email and even twitter.

Well off to load it with all those useful apps (and the not so useful ones!!) until next time.
