Does anyone else do this?

[vishis]

I have an NX60 and a Zire Basic, and i use my Basic on long trips and such, and then use my NX60 around home and school so i dont lose it (So i instead lose the cheaper Zire Basic) Anyone else do this?

[Jayman]

Nope, never thought of that... I would think that the monochrome screen would drive me batty!

[Jayman]

Do you think that the Zire basic is a waste of $100???

[rob_squared]

Its what I qualify as a bashable device. Its nice, does a job, and you don't worry if it gets scratches and stuff.

But monochrome can be *hell* sometimes.

Mine wasnt a 100, (bought from buddy for 20) and plus i dont have to worry about it like rob said.

I wish they'd drop the price futher - I can't see paying 80 for the basic and 100 for the 21 - there's not enough difference there to justify a basic. If they'd drop the basic to 50, they'd be unstoppable. Anybody agree?

I have a number of friends who just don't want to shell out even 99 on a PDA, even though they DO want a pda. I'd think that at a $50 price point, there'd really be no reason for *any* curious people to check one out.

Sort of: I have a NX60 and love it. But there are times when I just don't want to lug it around but would like to have my contacts, etc. I used a Clie SL10 for this purpose for a while, but now I'm using a Palm T|E as my lightweight backup. I can't afford to lose it though!:D

That's a good idea, but I like to show off my NX80V everywhere!;)

I'm pretty careful with my Clie, so I don't worry about it too much.

[Ezikial Anta]

Well, i dont go and TRY to lose the Basic... lol... just if i do, and like i said, my buddy hated it so i got it for only 20 bucks... also, i agree. 50 for the Basic and everyone! even kids can get em (think about it, games are 50 alone)

I use a S-360 (clie) for school, and a NX-60 for everything else.
H Gowever, my NX seems to be falling apart,
my screen is scrached,

NX-80, UX-50, Or TT3 to replace it possibly?

I only synced the NX60. I then used IR to transfer any updates to my contacts to the SL10 (and later to the T|E).

However, I've now sold the NX60 and the SL10 and upgraded my T|E to a T|T3. It's extremely portable, so I don't need a lighter Palm anymore!

[vishis]

wow... where are all the basic users ??? Didnt the basic sell like millions of units?

[TheUltimate]

ugh

[PDH LA]

Nope - I have one PDA -right now a T3, and it goes everywhere with me. WHen I had an NR70V, it ALWAYS went on long trips with me as one if the reasons I loved it was to read books on trip. Reading books on the big screen in landscape mode was the best.

... This thread is at the end of its life... but if i delete it, there will be no more posts in here... come on! there has to be SOME zire basic user other than me...

[Rick 098]

I have upgraded the S-360 I used for school to a zire71. 320/320! Yes!

[nismo96]

Well, I'm not a Zire user either. I ALWAYS have my T3 on me, but I still own my m515 and keep it sync'd and charged up in case there are any issues with my T3. I need to have a PDA with me, hence the backup PDA.
