Should I keep it?

I have several WinCE handhelds. Ranging from HP to NEC to Sharp and Vadem. (And a few others that aren't WinCE.) For the most part, if I use a handheld it's a draw between my Psion 5 and the MP900. The other devices are "just for fun" keepsakes that most people wouldn't want, so I hang on to them for the sake of it.

But I got a HX4700 from Rich which should arrive shortly to me here in Europe and I'm just thinking, with this and the Psion 5, all my bases are really covered. I'm using the MP900 less and less and I'm wondering if I should part ways? In some ways, I really don't want to since I view the MP900(c) as the very last "true" HPC made. But then again, it's pretty much sitting there unused running out of batteries time and time again forcing me to reinstall everything each time I actually do use it. I also keep thinking, "If I end up ditching it, will I ever be able to find another MP900 in this nice of shape again?" or, "You're not using it now, but the day you need it you've sold it.".

So I need some pro's and con's. If I'm on a handheld, it's mostly writing. And for the most part the Psion 5 has that covered for me. (Got small hands.) But it's nice to have a device that can do much more, like web browsing and email.

Help?

Thanks Milton, that's what I want to do but I just feel like it's another great device I have lying around that I'm not using. (And maybe someone else could find useful.)

I have over a hundred CE devices. I suppose I could let a few go . . .

Are you serious ? lol

@SOLIDUS

Please keep it. It probably won't sell for much money nowadays, and it probably is higher in value to keep it than let it go.

It is without a doubt an individual choice...some people only keep what they actively use, others collect.

Most of us find some in-between satisfactory and acceptable level of devices.

Check my profile, stingraze.

I'm definitely a collector, but I have lots of extras.

Wow. I'm impressed!

Well, I thank everyone for their input. It's appreciated. After some thinking, I'll be keeping it.

I cherish all my devices as I realize they will probably be the last ones I'll get a hold of. So it's better just to keep them. If nothing else but nostalgia.

The MobilePro 900 is just one of those PDA's that you would be a fool to get rid of as even with non-HPC fanatics it would be pretty sought after. Most other Windows CE PDA's are pretty much disposable nowadays.
