If you all don't remember me, I'm the guy with an Ipaq 4350 who broke his screen (twice), and had lots of problems with the UX50 that I was using while awaiting repairs. I had to pull the battery twice in a week's time, along with countless soft resets, to name a few of the problems.
Anyway, after being away from the 4350 for 2 months (yep, 2 months--long story), I've actually become fond of the UX. I think I figured out a problematic program, Calcontop (version 1.1), which I have since stopped using and have had no further need for resets or battery pulls.
I've been using the camera often; it's great to have on hand. The 4350's keyboard was actually easier to type on (keys were softer and not flush with the unit like on the UX), but I like the UX's keyboard size. The biggest killer was the fact that I had to put a heavy, bulky aluminum case on the 4350 to protect the large screen. Sony is one of the few manufacturers with sense enough to make built-in screen protection for their devices.
The screen was bigger and brighter on the 4350, it's battery was much better than the UX's, surfing the internet on the 4350 was a better experience, and the today screen with its many available plug-ins was awesome for pim functions. Also, PocketPC 3rd party software has caught up with and surpassed much of the Palm 3rd party software in form and function. SD cards were much cheaper than MS. But hey, we can't have everything.
