Hey, Thanks Bob!

I do appreciate the support.

The Z2 is really bulky as a PDA, and with the leather case it's virtually unpocketable. It'll fit in my pocket if I don't kneel down (to tie shoes or for anything else.)

Other than that, and a few 3rd party software tweaks (or inconsistancies), all is well in POL-land. I think I'd have severe problems if i"d have gone through with my PPC purchase (or if Costco actually had in stock the 2 HP h4455's (?) their computer said they had. I suspect that they "fell of the truck" touching nose.) Good luck with your transition, Bob.

I really wanted to stay with Palm OS because of my familiarity with it and because of the many 3rd party software programs I've invested in over the years. I'm really glad TapWave's Zodiac was around. I've not been much of a Sony PDA fan before, but I missed their selections when I was looking for a replacement PDA for my T|3. And, as much as I loathe smartphones and convergence, I do have to admit that I'd considered the Treo 600 more than once. (If it weren't for the small, lo-res screen, the non-BT, and the fact that I already have 2 great phones (S-E T637 and T610), I might've bitten on the hook.)

The "CompUSA thingy" that I so eloquently alluded to is the PDA-buyer-insurance-extended-warranty shill that the salespeople get gold stars in their little competitions for. I told the guy that it didn't interest me at that price point ($99.00) and he asked me at what price would it appeal to me. I told him half, that for $50.00 it might sound reasonable. He told me that he himself was authorized to cut the price by $15.00, but his manager might accept a deal. He came back and told me that his manager would take $40.00 off the the price of the Zodiac2 if I bought the PDA warranty at full price. I decided to finally buy an extended warranty for a PDA and if P1 or Tapwave deide to put out my perfect PDA over the next 2 years, then I'll use the extended warranty to switch over to it. To be honest, if TapWave comes out with a Zodiace just like it is, but with Wi-Fi, then I might just explode with happiness.

Imploding with frustration now by not being able to HotSync. Come on Missing Sync tech support!!
