I think/hope the T|T3 was just the tip of the iceberg. I bet that in their spring product run, that palmOne will kill (discount) the Z|71 in favor or pretty much the same thing, but with a 320*480 pixel screen (maybe a slightly improved camera, processor, RAM?).

But ... is this likely? I really really want a PDA with the kind of features the T|T3 has--only no BT, I don't care if there's a slider or not, and like ... 200MHz/32MB instead. I don't care if there's a camera. Just ... a plain beef and potatoes PDA! This is all I want darn it!

And a CF slot is nice ... can't have everything though ...

Okay I wandered--the question. When will we get a 320*480 device out of palmOne with the PIM upgrades of the T|T3 but with toned-down specs...for $200? Maybe by this summer in palmOne's Spring Run?

Cummon you people with collective knowledge greater than I comprehend!

One item is the pricey 320x480 LCD screen. Probably the most expensive part of the PDA. In other words, if you want a big screen, you have to spend big bucks.

BTW, what your asking for is shared by numerous other users.

it probably will happen just no time soon
the bigger screen is pretty much only seen on high end models right now

Also, don't expect to see a CF slot on any new Palm OS units. The CF card has mostly been replaced by SD and I really don't expect it to make a comeback.

You never know. Last week, some folks took advantage of the Office Depot deal (pricing mistake), which was $199 for the palmOne Tungsten T3.

Best bet is to do what we financially challenged people do, buy used models or buy display models that a store is no longer going to stock. I seriously doubt we will ever see brand new HiRes+ PalmOnes or Clies for $200, but keep the dream alive!;)

I'm sure you guys know of the T|E2...rumored to have a 320x480 screen, BT, and an Intel CPU. I strongly believe that this may be the one...that is $199.

THIS PIC IS FAKE. IT IS MY REPRESENTATION OF WHAT I HOPE THE T|E2 WILL BE. IT IS NOT A REAL PIC.

I made it in paint. It is shorter than the T|E and its screen is narrower ... I only used Paint to make it. I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope the T|E2 will be this for $200.
