Plus it still has the 240 x 320 resolution that Microsoft refuses to increase. Plus it still has that crappy Microsoft OS that isn't very user friendly nor does it have nearly as many applications available for it. Form factor is nice though, especially the dual 802.11b and Bluetooth wireless capabilities. __________________ Jack Swinden w5jck.com Blackberry Pearl, HP Mini 110, and iPod touch 1G

I've just finished toying around with a friends Dell and I have to say that although the resolution is supposedly lower I still think that the screen is bigger and shows more stuff/text onscreen than my TE does.

And I now regret having bought a TE to be honest...

This new 4 series has the same size screen as the 1900 series. They're nice bright screens but they're not as easy to read as the new Palm screens. Don't regret your purchase, you've bought a winner!

I was thinking the same thing. BT and Wi-Fi in a small package like that!!

Ya those 7 ounces, man I could walk for miles if I just didn't have those extra 7 ounces. Oh wait one moth full of pizza weights more then 7 ounces. That's being a bit picky. They didn't use the full screen pull down in the picture.... Hum do you think they are PPC fans.... Oh well, remember why it's called the dark side. ; ) deets

I agree. I once switched from my faithful Vx to a Jornada PPC and realized there is nothing better than Palm
