    I wouldn't say the keyboard is the easiest to type on, but it isn't tough to get used to. I like the Blackberry keyboard better than the onscreen one that I have on the 3115, but I make do. You can also use the handwriting transcriber, but that takes some time to learn how it recognizes your writing. I use it mostly for reading, and only a little typing...

    Well I decided to wait until later this week in case we get some 10% coupons from Best Buy on Thursday, like we did before Memorial Day weekend. If not, then I will either buy it on Friday or Saturday, so then I can get used to it before I go on vacation with my family next week. ;)

    Thanks for the recommendation and the advice. I appreciate it. :)

    That's the best thing to do, I miss those long holiday weekend sales :D. Why not wait until the 4th of July weekend sales or are they this weekend already instead of the week after?

    I will Dru. I have been looking at all of the PDA's and have been reading tons of reviews online.

    I will definitely insure it. I insure all of my big ticket items at Best Buy and Circuit City. ;)

    Well when it was Memorial Day Weekend almost a month ago, they sent us 10% off coupons on Thursday, so then the sale was Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (Memorial Day).

    Hopefully they will also do that this time. If they don't, and I don't receive them in the mail on Friday, then I will go ahead and buy it, since it will be exactly a week before I go on vacation with my family. ;)

    Neat, we need to liven up the Pocket PC forum :D and also post pics of our PDAs/PPC devices here in the RZ.

    Don't forget to get a screen protector for your PDA.

    Here is a photo of my HP rx3115 taken with my Nokia 6230 camera. The photo was sent from the 6230 to my rx3115 over bluetooth, then synced over wi-fi to my laptop(which you can see in the background of the picture with this Wireless Advisor thread open). I love Wireless stuff!

    One of the things I worry about with my MDA II is getting moisture (i.e. spit) or slight water droplets (rain) on it. Normally I gently wipe off the display after having the phone out before closing up the case :D.

    Am I overreacting?

    It looks like a nice screen and nice PDA.

    But I don't know if I like PDA's with black boxes on the screen.....:p ;)

    I don't think you are overreacting ShoresGuy.

    Investments (anything expensive or that you want to last) are important to preserve. ;) :)

    Well I tried that out, and I liked the menus and WM 2003, but I didn't like how the PDA felt in my hand.

    I compared it to the LifeDrive, and I liked the LifeDrive over the rx3115. So I decided to get the LifeDrive.

    Plus, I have a lot of cd's, so I wanted one with more space.

    Thanks azcellphonejunkie.

    I have already started figuring it out and getting used to the menu and stylus pen.

    I will be using this a lot, so I can justify the cost of this thing.....:eek: :p

    Lol....Thanks ShoresGuy. :)

    I have been enjoying it so far....I put some mp3's on it, and they have hardly touched the hardrive (since I have a total of 4.85 gb on it...including my SD card).

    I just updated my profile. Thanks for reminding me!

    No problem, I haven't fully used my MDA II in terms of Windows Media Player. It sits in its case most of the case even when I'm at work.
