577182	2007-08-07 03:26:00	:confused: If you have any recommendations, could you also note if they are both PC and Mac compatible or just PC. Much appreciated :D Thanks :thumbs: Any PDA should be able to sync with both PC and Mac without too much fuss.	winmacguy (3367)
577183	2007-08-07 03:47:00	Any PDA should be able to sync with both PC and Mac without too much fuss. Yes, sorry, I missed out responding to that part of Princess' question. I was originally a Mac user and had no probs synching the Palm OS devices I had then with my Mac. Ditto now I have been forced over to the dark side (PC).	John H (8)

The 650 has better phone sound quality (than the 600 - see 1st comments above by John H), better screen resolution, better preinstalled apps, video capability (not cam quality, but OK for a quickie), removable/replaceable battery, better battery life and better keyboard than the 600.	johcar (6283)

577187	2007-08-07 15:25:00	Ditto now I have been forced over to the dark side (PC). at least on the dark side we have dancing paper clips! refer to wratterus's sig Microsoft: "You've got questions. We've got dancing paperclips. :lol:	Bozo (8540)
577188	2007-08-07 16:32:00	Which one SJ and what's wrong with it? I have to go find it and see . . but I hated the Windows OPSYS and the short short battery life . . even with the piggyback battery on it . It's just a power gobbler . I even have a fold up keyboard and external power supply and the hot shoes for it with the USB2 . 0 connex . . but I find it clumsy . . . too fat . . . too user unfriendly and basically just Windows in a strange format .

I realise that Voda has SIM cards, but is it possible to transfer your pda from one network to the other? :pThe provider choice will come down to the plan you are offered (or choose) and how it best suits your calling patterns . I believe Telecom still have a better coverage throughout NZ and data speeds are better on Telecom (I'll be flamed if I've got these wrong!! :D ) . However Palm OS devices can't take advantage of the 3G speeds, if you're still looking at these, so the issue may be moot . There is phone number portability these days (although there are $$ hooks in this), so if you want the best of both worlds, go with Vodaphone and the SIM card - at least you can use it overseas if and when necessary . My Telecom Treo 650 is limited to a handful of countries, and will soon be obsolete in Australia because I understand they are shutting down the CDMA network there - as Telecom plan to do here eventually, so the SIM version will have greater residual value when you come to trade up next time .	johcar (6283)
