PDA Timeline

[AMCMoe]

So, how about a Thread about past Pocket PC's you've owned. I know the Axim is the first PDA some of you have owned, but for the others, this if for you.

I'll start

About 2 1/2 years ago I got a Casio e-100 which was nice, and had a good screen but it had only 16mb ram and windows CE 2.11 then a Jornada 520 which wasn't too bad, but I didn't like that OS much, Pocket PC 2000. It was too plain I think. Then I bought a 3630 iPAQ which one day the screen 'flipped' in it (everything showed up as backwards), and had to sell it. Now I have another 3630 which I like a lot, but am going to sell if I can. It's in the 'Classified' forum right now.

My 'signature' has the timeline.

Ok, so now, how about yours? What has been your 'PDA Timeline' ?

Hi,

[rickh57]

My first PDA was a Sharp Wizard OZ-570PC [with 256kb of memory]. I used it for a couple of years and then upgraded to a Sharp OZ-730PC [with 2mb of memory]. These both had small qwery keyboards and I was somewhat skeptical of stylus-based PDAs like the Palm or PocketPC. (Both of these devices are still working well, although no longer being used on a regular basis).

About a year ago, I got a good deal on a Visor Deluxe and found out that I was very productive using the stylus and Grafitti. In search of something with color that could play MP/3 files, I discovered the Axim 400 and got it for Christmas. I use my Axim constantly, and I'd be lost without it!

How did that happen?

Anyway, my first PDA was a Palm III xe. I replaced it with an Handera 330, which I really liked, but decided to replace this year because of the absolute lack of software that supports it's higher-resolution-than-a-standard-Palm-device screen. Nice PDA, though. Anyway, that's how I got to the Axim.

Hi Rick,

[Paiyili]

I must be doing something habitual, like maybe hitting the TAB key.

Anyway, Rick, I also had one of those Sharp 2-meg devices, but I did not include it because id was really more of an organizer than a PDA. I liked it. I like anything that helps me overcome my sieve-like memory.

My first, and only before the AXIM, was the Handspring VISOR Deluxe, which served me well for about 3 years.

I finally stepped up to the AXIM, which even with some little problems (with Customer Care) is a much better unit.

I started with a Palm 3c. I loved it. Then I went to the Casio E-125. I loved that even more. When PPC2002 came out, I was SERIOUSLY disappointed when I found out that PPC2002 wouldn't work on MIPS processors. I used some skinning programs, but it wasn't the same. And actually, thanks to Greektown Casino here in Detroit, and my 9 through king straight flush, I could go out and get a new PDA! I bought the Toshiba e740, and I love it most!

First PDA I had was the grandpappy of em all, the original Palm Pilot.

Loved it, got to really learn how to play "Minesweeper."

Couple of years ago, bought the Palm M105 and now I've got the Cassiopeia BE-300.

I'm looking at an Axim now, but then again, the Tablet PC's are looking kinda good.
