I mean for crying out loud...someone tell me why I would buy a Palm or Pocketpc pda these days over an Android smartphone that can be used in the same manner?
The reason I got into buying these old devices is specifically because my new Windows Phone 7.5 is much too different from Pocket PCs so I needed to go back to older technology to get the features back, such as:
-Stylus for high speed data entry
-Handwriting recognition for painless text entry
-Card readers and networking for painless data transfer
-Convenient hardware shortcut buttons for often used apps
-And more
There's no way I'd use my Windows Phone to set appointments, it's just too "different" and not as user friendly as the older devices, and even to this day 1.5 years after having my phone, I have no idea how or if I can even transfer files to and from it other than mp3s and movies.
That's why my Windows Phone 7.5 is used mostly as a phone, camera or web browser
(I have to admit internet is a zillion times better on it than any other Windows CE device
).
Now I know not all of this applies to Android but I think most of it does.
By the way did you see my new Palm Pilot speed mystery in my other thread? It's really baffling.
