Still Palming…

As an early Palm Pilot adopter, my addiction to the PDA device has been hard to shake over all these years. So when my M130 failed to hot-synch, instead of trying to download some new USB drivers, I decided to shop for a replacement. I had always thought of going with a Treo, that jack of all trades, but didn’t feel like paying for all the recurring costs that come with these so-called “smart phones.” In addition, I loved “graffiti” the Palm’s hand writing feature and didn’t see my big fingers hunt and peck on a minuscule keyboard. Besides, I hardly ever use my cell phone except when I go out of the house as a “just in case" convenience. Of course, when we go out of town, we generally forward our land line onto our cell phones. At the end, I was ready to go with a T-Mobile Blackberry with internet and email access when I stumbled on the Palm T/X that does everything my old Palm did and then some, plus lets me now surf the web whenever I find myself in a wireless hotspot. Skeptical at first, I have been positively overwhelmed by the device as soon as I set it up, the same way I was ten years ago when I was introduced to my first PDA!
