Treo 90 Decision

[slash2freeze]

Hi there. I need assistance on treo 90's.

I have a source right now that can get a treo 90 Refurbished.

The price is very aggressive and that the quantity is really large. I must take volume in order for me to get the deal.

I need to know if there is any interest still on this product. I hope you can tell me the positive aspects and the negative aspects of this product.

The more reply I get, the better. Please if you are interested with this unit, reply to this posting. I need to make a decision soon.

Price would be lower than $185 online on our store. If I do get it from my vendor, all who will take note of this message can get it from me later with 10% off retail price.

I really need your assistance on this matter.

Thank you so much.

Well, gosh. The Treo 90, according to varrious review, and a 5-minute test-run inside Best Buy, it cool. It was a QWERTY keyboard built-in, instead of Graffiti, but if you want Graffiti, you can get Virtual Graffiti. It has Palm OS4.1, as with most middle-class Palms (m130, SJ20, SJ30, m515...), and uses it well. Okay color screen, only 12-bit, which isn't noticibly horrible, unless you rely on photos off of your PDA. But, according to my test-run, if you need the reassuranse from your wife (or, in my young case, your cat) that all is fine every few days, it would be fine. Battery life, according to reviews, would be fine, about a week. Of course, that doesn't mean new AAAs weekly, it has a re-chargable Lithium Ion battery in it. It also has a nice stylus, with a more exact point. It has an SD/MMC slot, which I like more that Memory Stick or Springboard, which is good for small, cheap memory. Well, there's my scoop!

Real Palm devices have Graffiti areas.

Don't buy a neutered PDA.

Had lots of Palms. Have a Treo 90. Love the form factor, it fits in my pocket. Nice display. Overall very pleased with it.

I totally disagree. I bought the Treo 90 precisely because I didn't have to use some weird chicken scratch to enter characters.

I bought a Treo 90 because it's light, has a keyboard, has great battery life, has a great backlit screen, and has tons of software available.

While I'm generally a 'Windows' kinda guy, I found the PocketPC's to all be too big/heavy, aren't that user friendly (although like Windows, they have tons of features) and a useful one is more expensive than a Treo 90, although Dell has definitely upped the ante with their new Axim which is pretty nice.

Anyway, I *LOVE* my Treo 90. Even more now that I installed Launcher X and DateBk5.
