Well after many years of CLIE's (my last PALM was M505) I have found a deal too good to pass up. Palm T5 in MINT condition and with No WEAR for 70.00 us
did not come with charger or sync but I picked up travel charger and usb charger/sync for under 10.00 for Both.

QUESTION - did I get a good deal and 2nd what will be essentials that I will want for it?
I already downloaded the latest Palm desktop and all the updates
bought MYskin and MYkbd and downloaded a hoard of skins.
Already have a full backup of my memory stick to transfer files to new SD
Have an export backup so that I can backup to a new device files that are not CLIE native....

Can I use any other SD WIFI card other than the palm one?
I did a cursory search and did not see anything already mentioned

What else??

Thanks

I have a love hate relationship with my T5 but I still think 70 bucks is a great deal. By update I assume you mean the T5 os update which is a must have. Don't forget to intall the wonferful and free NVBackup...and start by making a stable backup before you go and start installing unknown new programs. I never got around to using wifi so keep posting back as to how that works for you: as far as I know the palm card is the only one that works. Essential enhancements for me were UDMH(if you want to do any demanding app usage such as emulator games etc..)
Uncache(or Alex's CleanStart which is free) for more dbcache and therefore a longer run of stability between serial late night soft resets which I would set to run automaticly using another fine app. called 2PlayMe. I ran a lot of medical program software which ate up the dbcache like crazy.. so I also used OffFlush to make the cache last a little longer through the day. Just have fun with your new toy/tool and you will find out if you need anything extra to help keep your T5 chugging allong. ;)
