I'm glad you found syncall. I haven't tried it, but it seems a neat app. Just lemme tell you why I swear by backupman: in the event of a hard reset, you can restore your pda on the spot, no need to run to the computer where you have all your DBs stored. Also, it restores your preferences and registrations. In my case, that means 6 hours of work (or does it? Oh, maybe this is an exaggeration).
Sorry, I'm not the wi-fi kind of guy, so I have no clue about the sd adapter.
Speaking of cases, I bought a Vaja case. I used to follow the ascetic path, I don't know what happened to me this time: keyboard, 1GB SD card, Vaja case... I guess I realized I was geek enough!
By the way, did you know you can change the skin of the DIA (the place that replaces the graffiti area)? There are LOTS of nice skins, and some of them even change the functionality of the DIA. You can take a look here:

I used to have one that supposedly looked like Cobalt. Now I wonder if Cobalt ever existed. Anyway, Fitaly replaced it with its own. BTW, after one or two months of practice, I could type 30 words per minute in average. One of my favorite uses of my PDA is to capture some of my thoughts, a kind of perpetual brainstorming, and fitaly is the only way I could do it.
