RE: Nagel Promises More Innovation
PalmOne needs some competition to make them innovate. Lets hope tapwave forces palmone to think.
The world will end in 2006. Just as it was predicted in the bible along with the release of Microsoft Longhorn.... :p
The next PDA i am looking forward to
TT5 sucks for several reasons: PLASTIC CASE, no recharging light indicator, NO CRADLE, reset button requiring unscrewing the stylus, SOFTWARE INCOMPATIBILITY (Tarascon pharmacopea, Tealscript), graffiti2, NO REPLACEABLE BATTARY.
I don't really care about wifi or bluetooth because I never used them. But having a fast processor, metal case, last screen without slider design and long battery life are important for me. The only positive points of TT5 over TT3 are battery life and large screen. But considering it also has so many down sides, I will not buy it to replace my TT3

AFAIK, ALL P1 PDAs require unscrewing your stylus to access the reset hole with a reset pin. For those of us with cheap plastic stylii, (like the one that came with the z71), we're forced to carry a small paper clip everywhere we go.
"Tungsten" is just a more professional sounding name for a line of busieness PDAs. I don't think any1 could expect a metal case for the TE. And then there's the T5 ........

Reality, it's a such a minor annoyance that I'm surprised you think it a logical argument as to why "the T5 Sux...rock on, Dude!". Grow up.
This goes for the other arguments in that vein also. Plastic Case makes it suck? Please. By that logic you never liked your PalmPilot, PalmIII/VII, Handera, or any PPC that was out on the market, right? Oh wait you loved those? Did they suck? Apparently you think so, meaning you love stuff that sucks, right? No cradle? Does the cradle make the PDA? Heh.
And how many times does your thick skull need to be penetrated to make you understand that many of the software problems are NOT due to the T5, but shoddy 3rd party development?! Admittedly, there are some bugs in the OS version used on the T5. That being said, they would be on any other PDA that used the same OS. Most applications work without issue now.
The problems with the T5 are too little value associated with too high a price of admission. Yes, it should have had a cradle, or it should have cost less. It should have added more (and more useful) features than it did instead of trading off some minor features for less useful ones, or should have cost less. The PDA itself is a solid machine, just overpriced, and THAT is the issue.
Learn how to see clearly (and objectively), and how to formulate a logical, well reasoned argument.

Of course, by that logic they should all be made of... Tungsten, right?
Hey, it would be expensive, and serve no real practical purpose, but at least it would be armour-piercing! =P
(For those that don't know, Tungsten is commonly used as an alternative to depleted uranium for making armor piercing rounds)

Good thing P1 came along with a PDA that shows everyone how badly their programs are written.
You are kidding, right?

How much of a role does fashion play in your device choices?

RE: Younger Crowd
With the emphasis on "this article". Funny how we get a flame war no matter what the topic!
Anyway, style (sounds more masculine than fashion) does play an important part with teens. My son complains that my wife's cell phone looks like a remote control, and he wants something else. Me, I place more weight on function and performance, but will pick the device that looks cooler or sexier if all else is nearly equal. Of course, if something looks particularly dorky, I'll skip it regardless of performance. I really admire the new HP's, but the Darth Vader look is so dated... Some designs look good for a long time. For example, the h1910 series will look slick for years, and the T3 still draws stares and comments after more than a year on the market. Others look somewhat professional but cheap, like some of the Axims and h2215's, along with the M1xx series. Some are low performers, but maintain an apperance of quality, even when nothing could be further from the truth. The M505 being a case in point.
PS: My wife had a good M505, and it is still in the family, but that was one of the exceptions ;)
