To buy or not to buy? T3 vs Zire 71

[galric]

I was waiting for the T3 Patch to buy it. Now the patch is available.
Yesterday I went to my preferred store to buy it, and I have seen for the first time the Zire 71 turned on!.
I was suprised by its screen, it is wonderful, and the case that I thought was cheap plastic is very very well built.

Now I am not sure to buy a T3 I am in love with Z71.
What do you think? Is still the best buy, after 10 months?

Anyone with T3, was a Z71 owner? What are the differences you feel (I know tech spec, I speak about feeling).
Now I love only the bigger screen of the T3, the rest is fot Z71.

I don't like Tungsten E

On Monday I must decide, please help me

I dont have either the Z71 or the T3, but I would still buy the t3 if I were you. Unless, of course, you need/want a digicam with your PDA, the T3 beats out the Z71 is literally every other aspect, processor, memory, screen, wireless. Additionally, you can find some pretty good deals on the t3, I saw one once for $335.00 about, meaning for only $35 more, you get a 2.7x faster processor, 4x the memory, an additional 160x320 pixels, bluetooth, and a more compact PDA. However, this all depends upon whether you want a camera or not. I hope that my small analysis helps.

I have had a Zire 71 for about 2 months, but I recently bought a T3 so now I have 2 great PDA's. I was going to sell my Zire, but I decided that I needed a backup PDA more that I need the pittance I would get for my Zire. I f you can afford the extra $$ then I would go for the T3 for all the reasons listed in the previous post. Also, look at the extras you get for $330-$400...Docs To Go, Excel, Bluetooth, Palm and Adobe Readers. The main everyday value for me is that I can load up the day with appointments and unscheduled floating events and see them all without having to scroll thanks to the expanded screen. Combine the T3 with DateBK5 and SilverScreen and you're good to go...IMHO. I love my Zire, but the T3 is the way to go...unless you can afford to buy both..LOL

Take care
