WOW! Palm OS5 and up is better than most Pocket PCs considering the Higher resuluton, lighter and simpler UI and MUCH faster bluetooth transfer (trust me i have used both)

And This is the T3 http://www.palmone.com/us/products/handhelds/tungsten-t3/

most pocket pc's now are vga and can handle 640x480, yea ive seen the t3 b4 but just prefer the ppc. pocket pc interface complicated? also pocket pc's have a much larger developer base... (yea i know 99% of the programs are utter *cough* but theres some good stuff). as for bluetooth transfer. yea its not speedy but for syncing data its fast enough. for installing i sit the thing in the cradle.

It does have lots of features but I don't use them now. When I first got it I thought it was the best device ever made, I could watch South Park episodes and browse the internet wirelessly during class, but the novelty wore off after a couple of months. Now I just want a device that properly syncs with iCal and the Address Book on my PowerBook, and isn't made out of plastic. The battery doesn't last very long compared to Palm devices from what I've seen.

The build quality isn't great. I already had to replace the side grips and the directional pad works sporadically. Its also too big to carry around comfortably.

I still like the 2215, but I wish I had bought the Tungsten T3 instead. My next PDA will definitely be a non-plastic Palm device. (Unless Apple releases a PDA of course :p )

The Axim x30 mid... man, Dell has great value compared to HP or other brands which are so much more expensive. The x50v is so nice, I will get it when it drops price since I use my PPC for mostly media and games and internet, the whole VGA screen thing would just be a miracle! :woot:

Casio Cassiopia E-125. One of the first, and its definently aging. It seemed so small when I got it, but when I see the new ones, mine looks like a brick. My main use is for an address book, appointments, and listen to music every rare once and a while, so I cant really justify a new one yet.

I used to have a Palm Tungsten C but I sold it to get my PSP. I didn't use the Tungsten that much anyway, I thought it wouldn't matter that I sold it. I got $330 for it though so I am happy. :)

BTW: I want a PocketPC..... anyone want to give me theirs? How about you ssvegeta384... want to gimme your Axim x30? Huh? HUH??? :laugh: Just kidding.

I have an iPaq 1930. It's older now, but does everything I want, has an amazing form factor, and because it is an older model it's pretty cheap on Ebay (I found mine for around $90!). With a 512MB SD card it makes an amazing MP3 player too, and I hope to one day get a wireless card to go with it. Love, love, loooooove it! :D :blush:

I bought a Dell X50v about 3 to 4 mo ago and I love it. I got a Sony PDA once (palm os) and I hated it. I love my Dell and the Pocket PC OS, its so sweet and no third party applications needed.

Sorry I just saw this....yes I will be able to connect to my phone via bluetooth and surf the web. I'll just use my dialup number from my dsl service to connect with. Not that I would have much need to do it....other than to say I can. :p

Still waiting on the phone tho...so I haven't done it yet.
