Pda?

[divingbiker]

I've got a Palm Tungsten E that's a few years old. Like Regina, I use it for my phone/address book, personal calendar (not work stuff), and playing hearts.

I really like having a rechargeable PDA rather than one that has replaceable batteries. With the rechargeable, it shuts down when the battery is low and you don't lose any info. If replaceable batteries die, you have to resynch with your computer to get the info back; if you haven't backed up the PDA to your computer in a while you can lose information.

I tried a pda. Still love my old 'Franklin Planner'. I like having that paper/hard copy to look at. I guess I started with that generation and its always worked for me.

I have had about 14 Palms over the course of the last 10 years. I currently have a Palm Tungsten that I've had for 4 years.

I briefly tried a Treo, but found that it's phone features were stripped down, it's pda features were stripped down and the size wasn't well suited to my needs.

If you're just looking for basic calendar/phone book functions, I recommend you get a low end model. If you're looking for spreadsheet capabilities or a lot of add on programs, you'll need the memory offered by a more expensive model.

I tried a pda and don't use one anymore. I need to see the week and month views, not just one day at a time. (the month views are not big enough to see the details)

I use a Blackberry for work, and have a Palm T/X for personal stuff (had that before the blackberry, and prefer to keep some separation). Email following one everywhere has upsides and downsides (do I really want to know if someone wants something on Sunday afternoon??)

wow lots of good advise there. I don't want to carry a day runner cause it is heavy and I always travel with my phone and a camera and books(you get the picture) so a pda would be light er then paper for me. I think I am going to go for a used one on ebay. Then I am not sinking a lot of money into something I don't know a lot about.
