CONCLUSION:

Amazing. Surpasses the UX in everything but the lack of clamshell design, and screen resolution. But I will NOT sell my UX...I just wouldn't forgive myself.

no bluetooth, no wifi, no decent keyboard, no palm os compatible, screen too small, how it can surpasses the ux50?
try compare it to treo.

but hey - it vibrates!!

If you compose very many e-mails from your pda you will hate the slide out keyboard. I have a xv6600WOC and I had been considering a bluetooth keyboard(may still get one), as a work around I have been typing my e-mails on the ux50 in docs-to-go, beaming texts and photos to Pocket Word on the xv6600 and sending them as attachments. A little convoluted but it works great. Yes you have to carry two devices but my normal setup is xv6600 in the truck, ux50 in my shirt pocket, and v710 on a belt clip.

Does have bluetooth.

It does have BT/WiFI/and Cell phone...read the specs. The screen is the same size as the UX (3.8). It just has a smaller resolution. And honestly...PPC is better than Palm imo now. And the keyboard actually doesnt seem that bad...not as good as Ux, but seems usable...unlike the Treo's.

Why do you send to you xv6600 instead of e-mailing from the UX50?

"Why do you send to you xv6600 instead of e-mailing from the UX50?" I can e-mail from my network but when I try to use the v710 I get timeout errors for some reason.

Just installed "Inbox-to-go" and it worked like a charm. The problem must have been with Clie Mail?
