Alternate to clie or other expensive PDA

For some reason or anothe I cannot post while logged on so I will post as unregisterd.

None the less, I had the NX70 and sold that in order to buy the NZ. However, I could not justify the 800.00 for a PDA. Instead, I just purchased the Kyocera 7135 smart phone. Although it runs palm 4.1 and the resolution is not like that of the clie, I find it much more practicle and convenient than any of the clie. I have the full functionality of a PDA including surfing the web wirelessly, a wireless phone, voice recording, mp3 and much more for 499.00. I am not here to put down the clie. However, as far as finances goes, You get a lot more bang from your buck with a smart phone. By the way, its also quite small and color.

I also think the Kyocera hybrid looks like a good device....but I am unable to let go of the cash for one reason. I upgrade phones really often to get the newest phone and I still have a T615 (that is doing just fine) for a PDA. I dont want to be forced to upgrade both devices at the same time at a greater cost. But its a great device.

You spent $500 on a160x160 33Mhz DBEZ OS4 phone to "save money"?

With the same $500, I could have bought a TG50 and a decent phone!

Sont ericsson phone w/ BT plus tg50 will cost you less than $500.

Yes, but then I would have to carry two devices.  With the Kyocera, I have the pda, phone and wireless internet connection in a device which is smaller than the clie.  To me ALL IN ONE is worth a lot more than pda and separate phone.  Dont forget with the pda you also need a wireless card which is an added expense.

You can leave your BT enabled cell. phone in your bag or case, and still use the TG50 wirelessly via bluetooth.

I could never think of replacing my NR70V HUGE 320*480 LCD, with a tiny 160*160 (256 color). That's one of the resonses I upgraded from Palm 3C

This might be worth looking into ... if you still like to have a smart phone and a touch of SONY.

That's 3G and we won't have the service till 4Q this year.

I still remember the old Coleco Adam, and other integrated devices. I am not really sure I WANT to integrate all the functions in one device. One bad battery day and you are out of touch and without your schedule.

I think the T-series is perhaps the best thing Sony has ever done. I especially love the T665, but the T615 is wonderful as well. I currently have a T665, Casio Exilim camera, and Nokia 3865i PCS phone (without Vision). They are not connected, and I am not sure I need them to be. Cool idea, but I can live without it (at least until the prices drop!)
