The Fate of Your Old Pocket PC
I seem to be noticing more and more Pocket PCs for sale in the forums. Are people selling their Pocket PCs in anticipation of the new models to come out in a few short weeks? Are you going to buy a new Pocket PC, and if so, what will be the fate of your old one?

I haven't had to deal with this since I moved from my Palm m505 back to Pocket PCs a couple years ago. I went through four Casio E-200s and two Toshiba e740s before landing on my current iPAQ h5455. Each move from one model to another was handled via CompUSA's TAP replacement program due to legitimate harware problems. (In other words, I didn't use the service as though it were the CompUSA $99 Upgrade Program.) Because of that, I haven't had an old Pocket PC to do anything with.
If I did have an old one, however, I would probably either sell it or give it to my mom so she won't kill my batteries with Diamond Mine, TextTwist, or BookWorm whenever I visit.

Honestly had you mentioned that two weeks ago, I'd have had use for two of them.

You forgot the option "Sell it to a loved one"

Re: The Fate of Your Old Pocket PC
I still regret getting rid of my first portable (a Compaq lugable, the size and weight of a sewing machince, but man was it sleek for those days). So I think I'll hang on to my Newton. I could part with my Toshiba e740 for the right price if I had a chance to move to linux pda with comparable hardware without cost.

I'm actually browsing ebay waiting for and EM-500 to fall into the $60-$70 range, so I guess I'm moving backwards. I really miss my old device and would like one for nostalgia's sake.

I sell my hand-me-downs to people in the office at deep, deep discounts (usually 25-30% of original value. The sale comes with user training and lifetime tech support. Basically, the best deal in town. No wonder that I have a waiting list.
I usually get the new PDA urge every 5-6 months. Hey, my 5450 is going on six months old.

If you have a stash of old pocket pcs in the drawer that you don't use, why not donate them to a local charity shop. They are always pleased to get old computer equipment as they always sell and get people into the shop.
