Joel 1src Co-Founder Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: Guam Posts: 4,517	I've found my new "TH55/E" After reading about everything at apple.com/iphone I'm proud to say that I've finally found a device that's truly a "TH55/E" replacement. Finally. And it's from Apple to boot.

Seriously, its simply a PDAPhone with a slightly upgraded touchscreen. No one else could come up with it? Well, props to Apple for doing the obvious and making a nice handheld. I'll get one when my plan runs out. Just renewed it though...stinks. __________________ Brad Green - Enthusiast Extraordinaire... Sony TG-50, Sony TH-55, Palm TX...TH-55 still the best

Well, that and the fact that if it is truely OS X, that means it won't take long to port my favourite OS X apps to the iPhone.... __________________ My Palm family: Palm T\|X ~ Palm T\|E ~ m130 ~ m125 ~ POSE

Kudos to the original Treo team to keep trying to make a smart phone to function. Kudos to the boldness to use rechargable Li-ion batteries that recharge ( no one company gets this credit) Boo hoo! Wi-fi is not as simple as pie, it interferes with the phone company plans to make money, wifi-max is still vapor ware but at least Bluetooth is on the path to total acceptance. However am I being to Cynical thinking that IPhone is not the promised "Messiah"?

The iPhone is only the beginning.

Hopefully the iPhone will live up to it, but considering Apple's track record that seems to be a given. __________________ My Current Gadgets: 16GB iPod Touch, PSP 2000, Nintendo DS Lite

Joel 1src Co-Founder Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: Guam Posts: 4,517	One factor going for the Clie was the "fun" involved in using the device. It's difficult to describe the feeling to non-Clie users (the same feeling incidentally was what made Cliesource thrive). The iPhone woke up that feeling in me again that's why I said this will be my next "TH55/E" because just by looking at the iPhone site, I was already having fun!

You know what Apple and Cingular should offer? "Switch" plans.

LupeValenz (^_^)/ Hi Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: NM Posts: 2,937	You are so right now that I stop shivering from being excited and think about this form factor. It is soo much like the sexy Clie TH55, the front is nothing but the big beatiful screen, very simplistic and a small button near the bottom. Hopefully they carry the Clie torch of easy to use and looks good at the same time . EDIT: Also forgot, have to thank Apple for saving me from converting to the darkside. I was lil bored of what Palm been doing and wondering how it would be on Windowmobile. Thankfully there is another wagon I can join and I believe its safe to say I won't be alone in it and not just a Palm user either, seems WM users are wanting to do the same thing . Nice of apple to make a device that makes Palm and WM users join together in a common cause (Giving Apple all our money!) Last edited by LupeValenz : 01-09-2007 at 10:42 PM.

JAmerican Why Does Palm Disappoint? Join Date: Aug 2004 Posts: 5,909	As always, sick devices have sucky keyboards BTW, I am getting my new phone soon, its a Samsung T629. I decided to wait until 2009 or later to get a PDA phone. My decision is largely due to my money situation right now.
