RE: Palm IIIc sucks!!!!
The best way to make the iPaq useful is to put Linux on it. :D
RE: Palm IIIc sucks!!!!
Considering the fact that Palm is no longer an innovator, we may lose a lot of our user base to Microsoft.
Wake up Palm, there is a cougar loose in your back yard! And his name is Bill Gates!

More stable? A couple of my friends just got their iPAQs and haven't had any crashes. If you think the IIIc is more stable, then you can have it!
RE: Palm IIIc sucks!!!!
And if you can't count the PocketPC software line is so behind and so very few peolpe design software for it in the time frame of three years is it now and also why is it so hard to find good thinks to go with it.
I work in the retail "COMPUTERS" and Palm is getting everything on the market pluse 3 schools in USA with 3000 students using Palm with over 100,000 developers and with 580 peaces of color software and growing everyday also still bing about to use that software.
Your wright, it dose sound like Palm is going out the door! BULL!!!!
RE: Palm IIIc sucks!!!!
Considering that Palm will discontinue the IIIc, I'd say the iPAQ is a winner. After all, I don't see people paying nearly $1000 for Palm IIIc's on ebay!

E-mail Campaign?
The only e-mail address I could find on their site is support@novatelwireless.com so I suggest you send your message there. If they are like most Support Desks, your e-mail will be logged and counted. If they get enough of them... who knows?

Palm, please wake up!
They keep on putting out new hardware for the V and VII and leave the poor III series behind.
It's Novatel, Not Palm
RE: It's Novatel, Not Palm
I have all kinds of problems moving between areas with my CDPD modem also, it's common for me to go on a trip and have my modem not work for the whole time I'm there. Eventually tech support will get back to me and tell me is was some kind of routing table problem and it's cleared up, but by then I'm gone!

Time to Step to the Plate!
RE: Time to Step to the Plate!
I just read an article at Smaller.com that pretty much sums it up in one sentence; "Message to Palm from your customers: "We made you....and we can break you!"
Hello, Palm? IS anyone home?
The iPAQ is looking better to me all the time. I'll wait to see what Handspring's new Prism has to offer, but since it runs on the Palm OS, how can we expect any improvements?
Re: Bitch 'n' Moan
Plus, it's a valid point that the V series is quite a bit younger and therefore has less accessories.
And the reason III series users can talk about going to Handspring/TRG is that they have the option. Correct me if i'm wrong, but most V/Vx owners bought their units for the size, so their only alternative is the C3. So what i'm saying is that it sucks to give up the nifty size of the V series for the range of accessories of the IIIs and have that advantage taken away.

Use a Minstrel III with a Palm IIIc
http://www.palmstation.com/view_article.py?article=3070&flat_mode=1">PalmStation claims that Novatel told him that the Minstrel III modem can be used with a Palm IIIc if the top clip is removed from the modem. This voids the warrantee on the modem, but allows it to work with the IIIc.
Has anyone tried this? Has anyone gotten it to work?
