I Switched.
No, not like that. I replaced one poor PDA with my new Palm Pilot - the m500. Hello friend.
Last spring, my company bought a couple RIM’s and I got one of them, forsaking my Palm Pilot for this new wirelessness that promised so much more. And I remember thinking that I’d really like the keyboard, too.
I was wrong. So wrong.
While I did really like the wireless connectivity (and the fact that someone else was paying for it), I did not like the size, the keyboard, the more combersome interface with my PC. It was bulky. It ran out of batteries every other day. It was hard to type on, and diffucult to just whip out in a flash and fire off a note on.
So I went back to my faithful old Palm, the IIIe. But time and neglect had taken their toll, and the damn thing refused to work. Then I saw the ads for the m500, and the prices, and all was right with the world again. Seriously, if you are in the market for a PDA, get one of these.
