I need a new PDA
Anyone have any suggestions?

(Has to be Palm OS, don't do PocketPC)

Right now I'm leaning toward the Tungsten T3 . . . . .

1. Do you also need a
new cell phone? I love my PalmOne Treo.

4. Treo 600 or 650?
I've heard the 600 has a share of problems.

Anyway, they're a little pricey, think I'll stick with my current cell phone. But my Palm M130 has definitely got to go!

8. I think it is
a 650, it is not with me right now and I can't remember. My cell and PDA went out at the same time so that is why I went ahead and bought it. I also got a good sale price on it.

2. I'm thinking Tungsten C
I need Palm OS, can't deal with Graffiti, and the price just dropped $100 at my local Office Max/Depot store.

The T3's pretty sweet, from what I've heard.

3. I've got a T3
Love it. Of course, you must remember that I was upgrading from a Palm III (not even a color one). I love not having to buy (or recharge) batteries all the time.

5. How well does the "slide" feature work?
It appears really neat, but also like a potential for something to break or malfunction...

6. Tungsten E works fine for me
It has decent-size memory (I have lots of applications, and also read ebooks on it on the subway), can take memory cards (which lets me listen to MP3 files on it, and has a good color screen. And it is only $200. I'm sure the other Tungstens would do fine also.

7. I looked at the E,
and while it looks pretty decent, the lack of a universal connector bothers me.

And the screen on the T3 is awsome! Will switch from portrait to landscape mode easily, and is almost as small as the E.

Unfortunately, it costs quite a bit more than the E.... :-(

9. Zire 72.
It's a damn swiss army knife.

Just make sure to peel off the blue rubber crap, 'cause it'll peel off anyway. The brushed aluminum looks better anyway.

FWIW I've owned a Palm II, a Visor Deluxe, A Clie T-415, a Zire 71 and a Zire 72.
