I LOVE PDAs, but being a poor student, I think I might just let my Tungsten go. I'm going to university next year. I tried taking notes on my Tungsten in class with the ultra-thin keyboard, but the screen is just a little too small to do this comfortably.

I have a 15" TiBook that I plan to take to classes and take notes on, and I plan on getting the new Sony Ericsson T610 (T618 in the US I believe) which has good address book and scheduling functions and syncs via Bluetooth to my TiBook plus has camera-phone capabilities.

The T610 will cost me a few, so by getting rid of the Tungsten, I could save some money.

Should I hang on to the T|T? Better yet, anyone want to buy my Tungsten|T with a 256 MB SD Lexar card, Belkin leather case, and Palm Ultra-Thin keyboard?

I'd say your phone idea is pretty solid; I'd get rid of that T|T as soon as possible as it's already getting dated with the release of the Tungsten|C.

Taking notes just wouldn't be suffice on the Palm for me either, I'd rather have the TiBook and then use the phone to sync up with the machine for the PDA-like fuctions of address books and calendars.

Plus, the Bluetooth is quite nice and you can use the phone to call people!

I'd say ditch the T|T and get the phone.

If you don't think you will use it get rid of it. I have a Palm Zire 71 now and my t68i and I still love both.

Yeah. I might have Tungsten|T blues. It is a great little machine. But it's also a fairly decent chunk of cash missing from my wallet, especially when it's just sitting in a drawer.

I had the same situation as you before... dear, I just sold my Palm Tungsten T. I have a PowerBook G4 12 inch and a T68i phone, and nevertheless, I have the new iPod 15GB... Taking a note on the Palm is just the worst thing in my life... The screen is just too small and I don't really like the keyboard. I rather take notes using my PowerBook and have a little Address Book and Calender function on my phone... Palm... for me is just like an extra kinky thing... Btw, I am also in school... Palm... is for business man who has 20 meetings a day without a secetary!

maxintosh, I'm interested in buying your palm ultra thin keyboard if you are willing to sell it separately. How can I contact you?
Thanks
