I'm writing this on my new Palm Treo 300 handheld phone/pocket pc. Pretty cool, eh?
Now I can keep up with what's going on next month when I'm in the field.
Hey Jonh - How about a version of the BBS optimised for ity bity screens? :)

Didn't like the blackberry??
I know it's a monthly payment - plus those things use spoofing which is bad.
Palms are easier to support - good choice  :cheers:

Well I have a Toshiba E550G with a huge 4" screen 400 mhz.....

At school, I can attach my wireless card and portable keyboard and can really get er done.

I have taken many notes on it, instead of lugging my laptop around.

When I had my accident I had the PDA and keyboard in my backpack....neither were injured!

oh yeah, make sure you pick up a progam called pdanet.  it let's you hook up your phone to your computer and use your phones data service for your computer's internet connection.  it's like $35 and well worth it.

Depends on the carrier.  With SprintPCS you don't need any extra software to use your cell phone as a modem (even though this practice is discouraged and can get you a nasty bill or disconnected service).  And Free N&W minutes seldom apply to data services - you are usually charged by the kb transfered .  Check with your carrier to be sure.
