I currently have a Palm 515 and about to buy a T615C. I only have 3 things that I need to clear first before buying: Does Sony support bluetooth? Can I use an NT4 operating system? And is there a way I can use a serial cable?

Somebody said bluetooth is supported. Is this thru a memory stick (similar to the SD bluetooth of Palm)? Thanks!

There is a bluetooth memory stick, currently only sold in Japan. However, I've read posts from numerous people who ordered one from Japan (SonyStyle Japan) and it works fine!

Not sure about NT4 OS or serial cable, however.

The T615 is an excellent PDA! If you can afford a few dollars more, though, get the T665! Nicer colors, twice as fast processor and in has built in MP3!

Both are excellent devices, and you can't go wrong.

Yeah, i agree with the last post, just one question: Why exactly do you want to use serial vs. usb??:D

Unfortunately, if he's using NT4, he's forced to use the serial port because NT4 doesn't support USB. That's why I haven't synced with the ancient desktop at work.

There is probably a USB-to-serial adapter out there somewhere. In fact, now that I think about it, I know there is. We bought a graphics tablet awhile back that included one so it could be used with Windows boxes or Macs.

As for the 615 itself, I think it's the best deal going in PDAs right now. Because it's been discontinued, you can find them for under $250 some places. Unless you really want a PDA/MP3 player combo, it's the way to go.
