[Cialug] Replacing a Palm

[TJ Vance]

There's always tethering to a netbook.  I'm willing to pay for the data plan
but I try to be a one-man wolfpack around my office so less
connectivity=less money.

I've got a jailbroken iphone as well but the onscreen keyboard wasn't
cutting it for ssh and rdp, and there is NO gsm where I vacation.

I've played with the pre but the lack of apps was a bit dissapointing, and
while daunting it looked a lot eaiser to write custom apps for android.

If you're still debating just based on hardware, there was a techcrunch
article today about possible new phones early next year but at this point id
call it pure speculation.  Might be a good use of a spare afternoon to just
hit the mall and see what htc has to offer in some other form factors?

Cheers

Have you considered blackberry?  Very palm-like in basic functionality.  Not
as many loadable apps but some of the favorites are available. Can play
media and has stereo Bluetooth.  Has strong email and web capability.

Probably not as shiny as some of the other phones you are looking at but I
just thought I'd throw it out there.
