T3 Replacement?

[ronnie s]

Hi all...

Given my multitude of bad experiences with P1 customer serivce (see the thread: "T3 Digitizer Problem & PalmOne Customer Service Horror Story!"), and the fact that I never got a T3 comparable to the one I originally sent in for repair, I've been thinking about a PDA replacement for my T3. It would have to be Mac compatible, have the voice recorder, and not be a P1 product.

Any thoughts on a good replacement from a reputable company?

Maybe a Symbian smartphone? The only other PDA's out there are Pocket PC's and they do their best to make sure they don't work with a Mac. Using a Mac doesn't leave you with many options.

There is a third party application called Missing Sync that will syncronize Pocket PCs with a Mac. I am not quite sure if iSync will do it or not. Another option is to install Virtual PC on the Mac so you can run Windows applications.

I don't have a Mac so I don't know how well the utilities work.

You can check at http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_pocketpc.php and check out the specs for MIssing Link for the Pocket PC and see if it matches what you have on your Mac. This doesn't change the issue that, if you've decided you don't want a PalmOne product, you have a very small selection of PDA's left.

You can still find new in box Clie TH55's on eBay. You'd still need The Missing Sync but it works flawlessly with a Mac.

My TH55 is my seventh Palm device and, by far, the hightest quality PDA I've ever owned. I'm considering picking up a second one as a backup since I've begun to lose faith in P1.
