I'm a new University student, and my Palm V is a life saver.
I got it from a friend of my dad's in early OAC (Ontario Academic Credit... grade 13 essentially) when the company they were working for went bust and he didn't need his any more. I picked up the portable keyboard discounted from a nearby RadioShack (~$60CA) and, as I said, it's saved my life.
As a geek, my handwriting isnt the best. So by taking all my notes (less Math and Physics) using the combination, I could carry all my notes for the 3 subjects that weren't math realted in my pocket. It was sweet. I could study (not that I did) for a test absolutely anywhere. And, they were the most organized and thurough of anyone in my class. I could even type up what my teachers were saying as they were saying it without having to condense the info.
That's only for notes, too. I kept all my tests, due dates, assignments, marks, etc on it. No more forgetting about anything.
Finally, if there was a particularly boring class, I had a few games to keep my brain from metling.
Now in University, I still keep all my notes and dates on here. Not so much my marks anymore. Don't want to get depressed all the time:) If I didn't have my Palm, I dunno what I'd do... Well, I'd have to take notes on paper, but the detail would go down so much I don't know how I'd cope.
Plus, if everyone else considers it a status symbol, then heck, I'm even more better off... if that makes sense.
