    Until I played with one at Office Depot.

    I found navigating it was awkward and non-intuitive. It just reeked of "desktop computer" crammed into the PDA.

    PalmOS is just so much easier to deal with on such a small device.

      If all you want is a date and address book, you should stick with a palm. I love being able to ssh/vnc/rdp from anywhere and compile my own kernel to include some features the manufacturer left out.

      If you want a "Personal Mobile Tool", nothing out there beats a Zaurus. Keep in mind that you played with a 5x00 series model. the 7x0 models are currently only available in Japan (and are far superior).
