Gotta get a new Palm

[Forrest]

The wife has a Palm Tungsten T. It's having reoccuring problems & I'm going to get her another.



What you all been buying? How do you like ... what is your recommendation?

I've got a Palm V I enjoy it. I'm not sure what I'm gonna get next. There are a ton of great products out there. One of the things that I was looking at... .



For the cost. What about one of the super delux phones? Nextel has one that does everything I a Palm does, plus! They seem more solid and it's one less thing to carry!

If she uses a cell phone a lot too look at the Treo 650 - it's a palm pilot/phone and it's awesome - http://www.treocentral.com . I've had palm pilots in the past and also a windows ce handheld and I found that I often didn't have them on me because it was a pain to carry both my cell phone and my organizer. Now that I have the Treo I have it on me 24/7.

I want the new Treo 700 as soon as it is released... .

I'd wait a bit after the release - it's bound to be buggy. Early adopters pay a price in problems and frustrations while the bugs are worked out. Personally I'd wait at least 6 months and see how it's going then before pulling the trigger. The 650 had a lot of issues when it was new. It stil has some problems but it's a TON better than when it was first released.



I assume your talking about the 700w too - that will be the very first windows platform on a palm device - bound to have problems.

I have a Palm IIIc and it has worked very well. I am looking at the Palm LifeDrive for my next one. The Treo looks nice but I am too hard on cell phones to put it on my hip.



Maybe I should start carrying a purse :-laf

Thanks for all the replies. I don't know about the phone thing. I hear you, but I think the complexity would be too much. I know someone that has one & has a problem getting voice mail & sometimes even answering the phone!





Been looking @ this one:

:-laf ... well, she's kinda hard on them too. She's gravity tested hers a # of times. I wonder how the Treo would hold up ...



After one episode with one of the daughters, the phone did the hard acceleration, abrupt deceleration test ... across the room :-laf
