so recently I've been thinkin about an all and one unit....that and the fact I got my fiance a sidekick 2 for new years made me think I'm carrying too much equipment on me....I use the UX to connect to a motorola v360 to go online (EDGE)..... now why wouldnt I get something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/T-Mobile-MDA-Vario-mini-Brand-New-Never-used-boxed_W0QQitemZ6473415504QQcategoryZ3312QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

T-mobiles version is called the MDA Vario but it's also sold as XDA MINI S, HTC Wizard, New QTEK 9100, I-Mate K-jam.

Once I went from Palm to PPC and came back within a week when I had trouble setting up appts (i was really used to palm) and now i'm a little hesitant to go to windows mobile (even though it's the new one version 5)..... why SHOULDNT I go this route? The battery life on the ux stinks and web browsing with NF 3.1 isnt the greatest by far (vs the internet explorer on the Vario) The games for PPC seem to be getting better..... tell me what you guys think.

Here is a comprehensive review for it

A zero-rated seller?

if you lost one of your two gadgets you still have one left but if you lost youe all in one gadget you have nothing left!!!

may sound funny but still holds true :)

That particular seller I would not buy from (as MonkeyBoy stated, ZERO ratings)

I have a Universal, not a Wizard, and I moved from a UX. Biggest problem is WM5.0 is slow in comparison (though I heard the Wizard is faster b/c no VGA screen). Otherwise, the PPC OS is fine, you just have to go through learning which programs you need to buy to tweak out the OS (just like you have to do with Palm's OS). The Wizard will also need a case of some sort, cause no screen protection like the UX. So, I say go for it, just not from the buyer you've linked.
