What to do with Palm Vx

[Chiana]

Now that I have a T|T5 I don't have any realy need for my Palm Vx... what should I do with it?

-Chris

Make it a photostand.

[Cyker]

Keep it around for then the T|5 breaks?

Give it to a friend?

Sell it on eBay?

Use it as a eBook reader? (IMHO those old indiglo LCDs are a lot more comfortable on the eyes than color LCDs).

[Tam Hanna]

Use it as a graphing scientific calculator?

[Cyker]

There are programs of those that work on a Vx??? :eek:

[Tam Hanna]

Yep, PowerOne Graph 4 ran on my IIIC with OS 3.5!

[Cyker]

ROFL! Man! I didn't even know! :p

Graphing calc on a III?! Man, people *knew* how to code back then ;)

[Tam Hanna]

Graphing calc is no huge effort IMHO.

I like my Palm IIIxe to ready ebooks because of the larger screen.

I still think that the Palm Vx is still one of the sexiest palms ever, in fact I probably used mine longer than any other PDA I have owned over the last seven years. I miss my Vx ... I'll give you $20 US for yours? ... What a great PDA!

[shamgar]

just keep it as a spare one, you may need it sometime,
the resell value is low

I keep a T/C as spare and give my 505 to my 8 year old nephew

Give it to a friend and introduce him to the wonderful world of Palm and organization. Not only do you prevent it from rotting in the landfill but have enhanced someone else' life with a useful device like the Palm.

Good Evening-

I will never part with my Vx! I have literally every major accessory ever sold for that machine. Including the Magellan GPS which I still use on occassion (OK very very rarely). I agree with Jayman, it is still the sexiest PDA ever designed. I had high hopes that Palm would release a CLIE TH55 in Vx clothes. I would be all over that! I do not need the hard drive...give me that super slim profile and that cool to the touch body.

Keep that Vx, Chiana. It is an example of what Palm used to do when they were focused.

Tungsten E2 is said to have a similar form factor...

[ncoday]

Donate it to a charitable org. I am sure there is one out there that could use it.

[smoothjordan]

Send it my way!!! I need to learn the basics of palm and need an older OS so i can start programming. jshep2k5@gmail.com

[pgenie]

Give it to me:) I have never used a palm Vx

Heheh i've recently been given a LifeDrive (about 4 days ago) to replace my aging Palm IIIx.

My goodness it is so different :0

But since i've got all my accessories for it still, it is possibly going to be with me for a while yet. I need that good 'ole keyboard! Also still have my GSM modem which connects to my aging Nokia 5110. Yes I've been living in the past, but hey it all works still!

[spvwolfy]

I pass my old Palm's to family and friends.

How about turning the Vx into a universal remote? I haven't tried it yet, but have been thinking about it for a long time, especially with how cool the Vx looks. I don't know if it can handle Omniremote software though.

[Tam Hanna]

Can do IMHO.
I had the learning remote on my Palm IIIc!

[Jayman]

Gosh, I still my my Vx ... I think I am going to take a look on ebay and see if I can find a decent used one.

[spacehog]

yup, im using mine as a universal remote for the tv, amp, cable box and satellite. its absolutely amazing and beats the pants out of those nino devices. i also use it to unlock my neighbor's mercedez once in a while as well, but thats another story altogether.. :0
