Previous poster made a tyop ;-). Can anyone speak to how well the n810 with the emulator handles PIM tasks? I'm just about fed up with my TX, and the n810 looks like a potentially worthy successor except for the possible lack of PIM. I need something that beeps or vibrates to let me know about meetings, and I'm not too psyched to have to pay $40+/month to my cell provider to get a Treo. -alan -- Alan Hoyle - alanh(a)unc.edu - http://www.alanhoyle.com/ "I don't want the world, I just want your half." -TMBG Get Horizontal, Play Ultimate.

The main problem that Palm has been facing for the last five years has been their failure to make the transition to a real operating system. (The first time I had to face that, it was going from DOS/360 to OS/360 40 years ago. The movements from MS-DOS to the NT/2000/XP/Vista line and from MacOS 9 to MacOS X were similar cases.) -- John W.
