palm OS 5.4.9 vs. MS Windows Mobile 5.0

[Romanowski]

Pros, Cons, etc

[KellosJ]

Palm, Palm, Palm....Mobile 5.0 takes 2-3 minutes to boot with a phone you've had for a while....5.0 locks up more...Palm phones have less resources but work more efficiently IMO

thanks tis what I thought

the treo 700w and 700p with sprint is on sale for only 250

im assuming because the 750 just came out

gonna grab the p for Palm I believe

then again the blackberry is only 150

take the palm OS, although I see you do some programming so 5.0 has .net plugins, etc. but just not worth the headaches IMO. Blackberry is solid too, but the service plans are expensive for email, etc. I still have the Treo 650 and we use a POP enabled exchange server - not as much functionality as exchange sync on 5.0 but I am not going to run my whole life off of a PDA Phone either. I'm actually pretty old school in some of my organizing...some of the gadgets out there are just more headaches and more complex than they need to be.

I have the blackberry. It's great for email (maybe best invention ever) but it's overrated for everything else.
