I ordered couple as gifts ;). I wonder why Palm does not mention anything about the Zire 22 coming with "non-volatile ram"? Julie says that it comes with in her review and a search of the internet brings up more mention of the "non-volatile ram" on other review and tech sites.

I didn't realize the LifeDrive qualified for its <strong>own category</strong> at Palm - but with the internal memory it sports, I suppose that is justified. :-) So about your Nokia! I would love to hear your thoughts on it, and how well it is or isn't working out. As far as the N800, isn't that the way it always goes? No sooner do you get something, and an updated version soon appears. Urgh. ;-) gorkon, thank you for that clarification.

It's a Mobile Manager. That said I agree with you rreccomendation! :D Judie,

The lifedrive isn’t in handhelds because palm does not consider it a handheld. It’s a Mobile Manager.

That said I agree with you rreccomendation! :D

With that said, I agree with your choice. I ALMOST bought a Palm T|X myself, but I ended up buying a Nokia 770. Then wouldn't you know it that Nokia released the Nokia N800. Ok it's not official, but they are sneaking out of CompUSA in peoples hands as we speak. They'll probably intro it at CES. Hey Judy,

Light, compact, good sized screen, and good sized battery. I had the h1930, and the size was unbeatable!! Definitely consider it, as Windows Mobile 5 is an excellent operating system, and coupled with the rx1955's design it would be an excellent PDA.

It does makes me wonder though, could something new to replace the LifeDrive be coming up? ;-) flub, I didn’t mention it because it is no longer offerred in the main Palm handhelds section of their site (although it is on their comparison page), and because it is $399 – so possibly more PDA than Nancy is looking for.
