Pda?

[surgtech1956]

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.

I'm with divingbiker on the Palm Tungsten E.

I live and die by my outlook appointments so I use a smart phone. I have used a few different ones over the years. I'm currently using Verizons Windows Mobile PN 820.

I don't need all the features of a blackberry so this is perfect for me. It's just a phone w/ my calender, contacts and to do list. It's tiny enough to slip in my pocket like a regular cell phone but the screen is clear enough and big enough for me to navigate through appointments.

I'd be lost without it.

My first PDA was The Apple Newton. I've got a box full of them and software, but you can get the software online for free. My Tungsten T3 w/my wifi card is the ultimate, but the M100 and PalmVx outshines them all.

I've gone through more screen protectors an stylus than the actual device. hilarious!
