My dh wants an inexpensive, not too fancy palm pilot. Is this a good pic? http://store.palmone.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1377464

I am a "power" Palm user LOL -- I use mine for email, etc., as well as scheduling and contacts. Regarding the Palm in the link: It depends on what your dh wants to use it for. If he wants to use it for addresses/contacts, calendar/scheduling, etc., this Palm Zire is perfect. My mom has one, and uses it for her contacts/scheduling, and she's very happy with it. Should be noted that this screen is monochromatic, not color. Most of the PDAs coming out today are in color -- but they're still much much more expensive, as I'm sure you saw. If your dh wants to do anything that requires color or more "power" -- playing games, using it for email, texting, storing/viewing digital photos, listening to music, etc., I'd say it would not be a good choice. It depends on his needs. As a PDA for contacts/scheduling, you can't really beat the price.

I had a Palm III that I loved and it was stolen. I picked up a Palm 100 for $80 and hate it. I just got a "flyer" for a palmOne™ Tungsten™ T2 Handheld. Does anyone have any info on this machine?

Here's a link to review of the Palm Zire (from Mobile PC Magazine): http://www.mobilepcmag.com/reviews/2004_02/palm_zire21.html Didn't find a review there for the T2, but there is one for the T3, lk.

I have a Palm Tungsten E and am having a problem. For example, when I add a contact to the PDA and try to sync it with my desktop, it doesn't sync it. It stays on my handheld, but doesn't transfer to the desktop. I changed the settings on the sync, but I don't think I did it right. Also, can someone help me to set up my Hotmail to sync. Haven't figured that out either. Is that what the SMS icon is for, or is it VersaMail? No directions with the product -- not that I would read them anyway. I prefer to ask the folks here!

Luvmyjrt: As far as I know, there isn't a way to synchronize a hotmail account with a PDA or even Desktop program because hotmail is purely web-based. As for your other synch problem, I'm not very familiar with PalmSync (?), but in general you might check your settings to be sure you have the program checking both the PDA & Desktop for changes. I recommend, if you have the option, to have the synch program prompt you for changes in either direction. Hope this helps

Thanks, Dra. Thought I had done that, but it might, just might, be time to read the manual! Darn it!

Hmmmm, reading directions worked! I'm now "in sync"! Thanks for the suggestions!
