Default Anyone still use a CASIO device?

Just to know if i'm the only one.

I have never see the screen of the iPAQ 39xx serie nor the new Axim X5, but I thing none of the screen have see (e740, 3600, 3800, jornada...) is as good as the one on my E-115 I have for 2½ years now. Exept in direct sunlight. The Dell is the first one i may consider for an upgrade, but I will wait to see if they may a model with integrated WiFi...

What do you think?

In my subjective opinion, I still don't think any of the Transflective screens are as good as the old Casios indoors.

But they're close enough for me...(iPaqs are better than Dells though)

Thanks! My sister ordered an Axim last week, so I will compare to the dell. FutureShop don't have any 39xx so I can't compare. I don't like the iPAQ because I always have a CF or my FiWi card and they are BIG with the sleeve. But the newer with integrated WiFi may worth it, I will only need the sleeve when viewing picture from my CF. But, how much will it cost here in Canada....

Thanks

I should probably say that the iPaq screens aren't THAT much better than the Axims and the Axim is still a lot better than say...the iPaq 38xx series.

I think, having had one for almost 5 days now, that the Axim would probably do fine for you (jogdial still not as good as the Casio's but what can you do)

Sold my Casio E105 with good battery life for an Audiovox Maestro with poor battery life.

That a good point for the Dell that the iPAQ don't have, a removable battery

A Toshiba e550G is now my primary PPC, but I am unable to completely give up my beloved E-125. If I ever look at them both at the same time, I get a little sick--the Casio display is so much better.

The only real reason I made the move to the Toshiba was to be able to read outside--as you probably all know, the Casio HAST screen utterly sacrifices outdoor readability for its gorgeous indoor display. But while all the aspersions about the Casio being a "brick" never bothered me at all, because its such a great PPC, now that I have the Toshiba I'm really liking its slimness!
