your other alternative
Feb 3, 2005 10:45PM PST

just got rid of smartphone during 30 day free trial. looked at sx66 before I decided to get moto v551 and a dell bluetooth & wi-fi pda. for about the same price as sx66 you get a much better pda with current version of bluetooth, (sx has 1.0), wi-fi capability (free connections at my local library), faster surfing (edge tech), and numerous pda entertainment features, (mp-3, videos etc. you will forgo, however, that cool slide down keyboard, which is too small for my fingers anyway. good handwriting recognition program beats that feature anyhow, without worrying about longevity of the sliding hardward.

Followup on moto mpx220 vs. siemens x66

I'm also looking at the moto mpx220 and the siemens. Why did you give up the smartphone (was that the 220)? I already have a PDA which is fine and only want email/tasks/calendar from Outlook on my phone. Anything wrong with the 220?
