Need a new toy

Although I’m pretty happy with my aging Palm Vx, recently it’s picked up a few serious scratches to the screen which are really annoying me. I don’t want to pay the premium for a brand new device, especially with Windows Mobile 5.0 based devices and the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet around the corner, so I’ve been scouring eBay (my new addiction) for options.

Currently I’m limiting my choices to:

Replacing the screen on Palm Vx (not something I want to do without having a backup device available) Replacing the Vx with another one, or maybe a slightly higher spec one (m505 maybe) Getting a Microsoft Smartphone (probably an Orange SPV E500)

I could easily get a brand new Smartphone by getting another contract, but a) I don’t know if I’ll like the platform, b) again there’s new devices on the way and c) I’m not a big fan of contract phones. I want to upgrade when I want, not when they let me. Although there’s loads of E200s available, I’m playing a waiting game to see if I can get myself a bargain.

Of course I’ll probably get sick of waiting, and shell out for a brand new Dell x50V like my friend Mat just has…
