How to convince friend not to get Pocket PC?

(1/3) > >>

scottmso:
My friend wants to switch from a Palm to Pocket PC. Here's what he said:
"I never knew that Palm had a color handheld!"
"Well, my Palm m100 broke in 6 months." (He bought it used off of eBay!)
"I have a friend that says that Pocket PC battery life lasts as long as my m100."
"Some people actually like things about Microsoft."
How can I convince him to stay away from Pocket PC?

Interesting. Have him check out the new Sony Clies and the Handspring Treo 90's...you weren't too specific as to what he wanted.

Have him check this out too:

(Check out the rest of the site too. My real name is Dustin in case you see anything written by me)

You can have him e-mail me directly with what he wants in a PDA and I will tell him the perfect handheld for him. I do it all day long! My E-mail: [email protected]

slave:
or tell him to get a Sharp Zaurus

I'm not really big on PDAs. I have a Palm 3x that is still going in good condition. But I'd have to recommend the Zarus or the Samsung yopy. Or he could find a newton.

I dunno. I just got a Pocket PC, and it works damned well. Battery life doesn't seem spectacualr, but I've never actually noticed. It would really depend on what your friend needs. If ya need something to just keep your schedule on, go for a PDA. But I use my PPC for other purposes. Music, occasional videos that I want to show to someone, games.
