I’ve nearly decided to give up on the Blackberry. It’s a half-unconscious conclusion … I’m just finding that I’m not using the darned thing. I walk around with it, sometimes, but I also leave it sitting in the dock. If I’m not using it — why use it, if you know what I mean.
The consensus with a couple of other folks I’ve talked with is what I’ve decided: It’s a great wireless e-mail solution coupled with a mediocre PDA. And since the PDA functionality is at least as important as the e-mail side of things for me ….
I did a little digging on-line today. Love to replace my Palm Vx with a Palm m505, except that it doesn’t have a wireless modem option yet, and it would be keen to be able to maintain some level of e-mail connectivity. I’m going to check out a few of the PocketPC iPAQs from Compaq … but everything I read still indicates they’re a horrible battery hog (like, recharging daily or more in normal use, as opposed to both my Palm and the RIM which will run for a week without charging).
Anyway, we’ll see. Just thought I’d update on this particular “project.”
