    Pros: Wi-Fi antenna, LED, SD/MMC slot, user programmable, OS stability

    Pros: Powerful, Fast, Dependable, Lightweight, Sleek, Professional. Overall excellent palm
    Cons: Occasional problem with writing on it.

    Pros: Basic palm functionality
    Cons: Size, wireless (Palm.net) service, hidden fees

    Oct 14, 2002
    Pros: Blackberry quality wireless email with Palm software
    Cons: b/w screen, lack of key (thumb)board

    Pros: SD flash expansion
    Cons: black and white screen

    Summary: I've had this Palm for about a month now. I have a Handspring Neo for about a year, but I broke the screen. So Ameritrade is giving these out, and my Mother just happened to sign up. Also, while this has the ability to access Palm.net, I'm not going to
