What Is The Longest You've Kept A Single Pocket PC?
I was recently looking at newer Windows Mobile 2003SE devices - the Axim X50 in particular - and got to thinking about my current iPAQ 2215. I have had this device for 15 months now, which is easily a record for me. It isn't because I've ever really disliked my iPAQ 3600/3800/3900/Axim X5 as a primary device, I've always just found good reason to upgrade, though nothing yet has moved me from my 2215. What is the longest you've kept a single Pocket PC as your primary device? I don't mean for some of you how long have you owned one, or I'll go find the receipt for my Nino 320 in my closet. :wink:

It is more : 2-3 years. (Loving that Casio Screen eh? ;-)
I had my E-115 for three years after my Nino 320 (the one with the modem, right?)... Now I'm with a 2210 since 12 months or so.

I kept my Jornada 568 for about 16 months, with my next longest I think being my current MDA II at 6 months. I wanted an upgraded 568, put that didn't happen and am now thinking of getting the updated MDA III which really should meet all my WM needs.

The PocketPC I've kept and used the longest (even now) is the iPaq 1930. The only upgrade I've been eyeing is the iPaq4100 series. Love the small form factor.

I got a little bit embarrassed when I realized how often I "trade up," sometimes to simply get my hands on the newest little toy out there. But then I realized that by upgrading so often, it actually benefits my family members, because they usually get to use my older devices. So, my upgrading is really an unselfish act aimed at helping my family, right? Right?
Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it...

Not to take this off-topic or anything, but I was in the same position as you. Getting a 4100 was one of the best Pocket PC purchases I've made. You will LOVE it.

iPAQ 3600 owners
For those of us who purchased the iPaq 3600's soon after it's initial release in ...whatwasit?....Spring/Summer 2000, it would've been a couple of years (at least) before the next-best-thing (iPaq 3700's?) came out. I'd have thought Ed would have been an early adopter of the 3600's, so he must've had his 3600 for more than 15 months (??)...unless he was secretly using a Palm
in between 8O
Oops. OK. Sorry, Ed. That was an uncalled for low-blow.

I find my upgrades depend on whether or not i have an existance of a significant other - considering my progression has gone:
Casio e100 > Jornada 548 > Ipaq 3600 > Palm m130 > Clie NX70v > iPaq 2210 > Palm T|T3 > Dell X30
I have been in and out of love affairs But now I am settled down and this darn engagement ring thing is preventing me from continuing the upgrade cycle, ah well - i'm due for a phone upgrade soon, so hopefully i'll be able to work in lucky #9.
Until then, my X30 serves me well and should last me for a few more months maybe even outlast my current record of 8 or 9 months.
OH, and P.S. - if any of this gets around to my girlfriend, I will deny every bit of it
