Palm handhelds?

silentrunner · 03-18-08, 08:42 PM

Any body use a Palm PDA. I have been thinking about getting a Tungsten E2 I was looking at on ebay; is this one any good looks pretty cool. If any body has any other handhelds that they think are better than this one please post.

Dont use PDAs myself, but the quick googling gave pretty good reviews about the E2.

I always carry around a small lump of wood and a chisel, its most handy for jotting down email addresses etc and fits neatly into my pocket.

I have the new Samsung ACE. It is very nice and easy to use. Sprint offers $99.99 for unlimited everything. Not a bad deal if you use the PDA like I do.

What doe's a pda do ? Isn't it just a fancy cell phone?

Don't get me wrong guys, it sounds kool.

It is like a computer that is no bigger then a cell phone. It has Windows 6.0 Mobile which is really just like windows on your home computer. You can email, text, get files like .pdf etc. Great for business on the fly. You can get on the web and it has a keyboard to type, all be it small.

This is what I have:

Here's an example of what would happen to me.

A lesson to be learned from typing the wrongemail address!
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel. There was acomputer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived Date: October 16, 2005
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I've seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then!
Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P.S.
Sure is freaking hot down here!

There is one called Mogal by HTC that uses a stylus. It is for the big finger folks.

My co-worker has this. It is very nice PDA. Touch screen.

What I hate about mine is you look like you are talking into your calculator when using the cell phone.

AVG Did you read post#9 by any chance ?:p

AVGWarhawk · 03-19-08, 11:39 AM

Yes I did. Very funny.

SUBMAN1 · 03-19-08, 11:52 AM

I've had both Palms and Pocket PC's, and Pocket PC's are way better. I gave away my Palm.

I never tried the Palm. This Samsung ACE is very nice and easy to use. I find it very useful with work. The only problem is I can get called, emailed or texted messaged. So, I can run still but can not hide. They can get a hold of me no matter were I am.

That is a nice phone.

The best phone is still the AT&T Tilt. Yours isn't far off I imagine though.

The AT&T Tilt is like having a full laptop on your phone. Add 16 or 32 GB of storage and you have a full computer at your finger tips - it includes the stylus too. ANy software that runs on WIndows mobile or Pocket PC. You have PDF / Excel / Word / Media Player, anything on a normal PC is on this phone. You also have access to alternative music formats like ogg if you want by simply loading drivers. Games all work, and i believe this thing is packing a 400 mhz CPU, so it will run pretty much any app out there that requires a bit a horsepower.
