Why did you originally switch?

I must say I do miss the speed,screen and web browsing caperbillitys of the T3.

I cant believe so many on here slate Palm's.

I do love my 4150/55 but sometimes grab for my old sony clie c.2001 when it comes to buisness work and some games. If only the T3 was as good as the ipaq for audio Id be back with POS.

I was in the Palm camp for quite a while and I liked the Palm OS. I had a IIIxe and then got an m505. The 505 was one of the best devices I ever owned. It was really small and durable (I can't tell you how many times I dropped it ops

Then I met a guy who offered to sell me his old iPAQ 3765. I looked up the prices of 3700s on eBay and decided to buy it from him to resell it because I could turn a profit.

I got it, fully intending to sell it...but then I started to use it. That's when I was converted. It was just so much cooler than my m505 in every respect except size. I loved the multimedia abilities!

Since then, I have had 3 more PPC devices, the last one being my PPC Phone. Making the switch to a Phone Edition device was like making the switch from Palm to PPC: once I tried it, I never looked back!

I am now awaiting the delivery of my i-Mate PPC Phone. I can't wait!

(great thread, by the way! I love reading everyone's stories!)

I switched because as I was about to purchase my first palm I was given a nino 320s that my dad couldn't figure out in the amount of time that he had to do so (plus he got a palm IIIc)

I ended up with PPC after trying Casio BOSS, HP WinCE thingy, and Palm Vx. The Palm was a great organiser, but limited as a mobile computer. After checking out a friends Axim X5 I got one and used it everyday for over a year. The features and value for money make the X5 a great product.

After a year I felt it was time for something that was even more of a mobile computer and I didn't think PPC had evolved too far so I switched again.

I'm thinking about switching right now from my Tungsten|E, what a headache. Not to bore everyone with the story... I'm moving towards the Dell X30 but note sure to spend extra for the top model and I'm curious about built-in keyboards like the HP model. I've seen external clip-on keyboards for some ppc's, but not sure if the X30 has that feature.

I'm so confused. But I've been a Palm user since the first PalmPilot, so this is new territory for me. I agree with alot of posts here on switching, but connectivity is my main reason for switching. An organizer for basic tasks, doesn't need to cost alot, but I would like to do more. What's down the line coming for PPC's? Should I wait?

You should wait a month or two. There should be some WM2003SE powered PPCs coming soon and since you're looking to buy a high-end model I suggest you wait to se what everyone offers before you purchase. 8)

The Palm OS was so boring. I wanted something more exciting, that is when I found PPC. Man, I got what I asked for! Pocket PCs are a whole lot more fun!! And I like that the OS has more to it. Plus the connectivity is easier on a Pocket PC... :wink:

I'll be switching soon, the Tungsten|E closes Sunday on ebay and now I narrowed it down to 2 models, the hp4150 and x30. But don't know what to do.

I agree with everyone's choices here to switch. I want seamless syncronization and more functionality from my device. When I tested out PPC2003 I couldn't believe how much has changed. Can't wait to get into full swing, I was tempted to buy the HP4150 tonight, but wanted to hear what you guys had to say first.

Reading here, I see many have the HP4150 model.

If you're looking for "seamless syncronization" with Pocket PCs you're in for a rude awakening. 8O

Probably not as bad as what I have been going through with the Tungsten|E. One good sync a night is not acceptable. I know more than a handful of palm users that are experiencing hell right now.

Seamless is as good as it will be using Outlook, Word and Excel and XP. I know Windows, so you're not telling me anything new. :wink:
