Do you use digifit?

I really want to get the digifit device that lets an HRM send data to an i-phone, but I'm just wondering how convenient it actually is to have to take your phone with you for every exercise session.

Does anyone use it? Do you like it?

Thanks!

    I researched them and decided to go with the Polar FT4 with the docking station to load the data to the computer. It works great for me.

    I also tried the cheap 60beat device that plugs into the ear phone jack of my iphone to pick up my HRM strap. It worked when my phone was close to me, but when I set it down It really didn't work well at all because I had to keep my phone so close to me to keep a signal. Might work for some exercise though.

    In the end, the 60beat experient coupled and thinking about having to keep my phone with me in all the exercises I might wind up doing led me to go with a tried and true approach that I know is portable.

    Yes, I was more interested in the digifit until I started really thinking about how annoying it would be to have to take my phone everywhere. A lot of what I do for exercise is not really very phone friendly.
