"I'm a convert..."

by jijiki on May 13, 2005

Pros: Resolution; Speed; Connectivity

Cons: Battery Life; Limited Bundled Software
Summary: Being a long time Palm/PalmOS user I had my heart set on a Palm T series but after reading many reviews and talking with co-workers that use Dell/Pocket PC, I made the switch. One of the primary decisions was due to the fact that the T series that I was looking at did not have built in WiFi. I've been using my X50V for about a month now and I LOVE IT!!

WHY IT GETS AN '8'
+ The screen resolution is beautiful and the portrait/landscape option is wonderful
+ It synchs effortlessly with my office Outlook
+ The variety of writing input methods is a real bonus
+ 3D games really show off its power
+ Quick-browsing the Web is nice and I can even control my other PCs through Remote Desktop. COOL!
+ WiFi & BlueTooth!
+ SD & CF Slots!

WHY IT DIDN'T GET A '9'
- Battery life does suck somewhat but I'm hardly ever away from a power source so not a big deal.
- A bit more bundled softwary; even shareware would have been nice.
- buttons are a bit on the small side

(To get a '10' from me the device would have to rub my feet after a hard day's work)

Expansion memory is a must (high-speed SD 1 GB)! Considering an extra battery for those long flights. Definitely considering the GPS which includes a car charger.

Thank you for submitting your feedback!

More of a question than a comment, don't you miss the Palm OS? I have this idea that you need to click so much more on a windows pda. And isn't is much bigger and heavier than a Palm (I have the Zire 72, and by the way you don't know the meaning of bad battery life!)? You might get me over to the dark side! Thank you!
