Handhelds in general

Went to PC world to look for a handheld, I am pretty set on getting one but the guy there told me that he thought they were hard to write on and took a long time to get it to say what you want. I'm just here to ask if anyone who owns a handheld thinks this is true or is it just getting used to it ?
Thanks for any help,
Oscar

Hello Oscar-

A PDA is great for mobility contacts, using it as a cell phone other than using it for Word, Excel, e-mail, browsing the internet, etc.

PDA's does require a little training, but if you are self-taught to a point of using a computer - then using a PDA handheld is not that difficult. It may seem to intimidate you at first, but not to worry.

You can use a PDA for music, video's, etc. Surfing the internet which is handy compared to having a notebook to use. Although, I would love to have that... could do some real stuff on a notebook compared to a PDA.

However, if you lived in Southern California - I'm doing a Microsoft Event, (which I just finished registering for...) on Windows Mobility. Which involved PDA's cell phones, and smart phones. The event is a half day event which educates people about mobility.

In a few days this event will be listed on Microsoft's event page, and anyone in the general area can attend by registering.

Write me back if are you interested?
 
I've had a few PDAs, current own a Dell Axim x51. They are "toys" more than anything. There are many great features, and such, but typically it's much harder to use than say a calender. But they are great for checking email on the go, especially if you can use exchange server. If you get a GPS and one with cellular internet, google maps has a program for PDAs now that looks quite nice ;)

So would you recommend one for me. I'm a 15 year old just absolutley mauled by homework and incompetant at writing things down and if that then losing the paper.
 
Get yourself a cheap PDA. No sense in spending topend dollar for something.
I agree, in fact I have a used PDA with Pocket 2002 for sale. $30.00 if you are interested!

It hasn't been charged up in a while, and is probably still registered in my name, but you are welcome to buy it if you like?

The decision is yours of course, if you want it?

Just PM me if you have an interest.:cool:
