Thanks for the positive responses
(and lack of flames!
).
Concerning the Phenom, I loved the little buggers when they came out. There were only a few things that bothered me about them:
1
) You have to use the touchscreen over the expansive
(and wonderful!
) keyboard - if they had put in a 'change screen' function that would move everything 90 degrees
(like you find in some cellphones
), it would have made the screen much more functional.
2
) Only one CF slot, whereas the Mobilon and the Jornada
(am I right?
) had 2.
3
) The cover over the modem breaks off
(no biggie, though
).
The keyboard is very good, apps were great for their day, the version of Outlook is very impressive, and the screen controls work very well for cutting out glare. It was my road machine, until IE upgraded and MS left us aside to rot. I now have a laptop, but I still miss the portability, size, and ease of use.
I gave my daughter
(High School
) one to use as a word processor, but she rarely touches it.
I know there's not a lot that can be done with its current architecture, but I wonder if anyone's done some 'kitbashing'
(different embedded chip/OS
). I think there's still a market for their functionality if they could use some of today's apps.
My $.02.
Thanks and TTFN!
