Crossing my Palm

[binidj]

So I've recently discovered that the Z22 that I received for Christmas isn't quite the wunderkind I was hoping it would be. As far as synching with Outlook is concerned, it was absolutely marvellous ... I have no complaints; but a large part of wanting to get it was so that I could take and edit notes on games but sadly the Memo function just isn't up to the task. So I downloaded some .doc editing/reading software (the first of which wouldn't work on the Z22) at which point I discovered that not having a slot for a memory card is a very big deal when you're talking about Word-like documents ... one smallish document and I had almost no room left in memory. So, when it started randomly crashing I was actually quite pleased ... since that meant I could get a refund! After some snooping around and deciding/being persuaded-by-the-Fox that the Tungsten TX was a bit more than I needed and a bit more expensive than I wanted, the final choice was the rather alluring Tungsten E2 with a 1gb memory card.

If anyone has any horror stories regarding the Tungsten E2, please let me know while I can still cancel!

Quickoffice seems to be okay for me, I've got a few dozen documents on mine and some of them run to 40 pages and I've still got 34% free on my Z22.
Mind you, they're formatting light so maybe that's it.

I might not be using mine as heavily as you need to though.

I tend to write fairly heavily formatted documents (internal hyperlinks, different fonts, headings, etc.) and found that I had practically filled the memory after just a few documents.

Starting to go a bit stir-crazy without having a PDA around though ... who would have imagined I'd get this dependant on it in so short a time?

I keep an old Palm Vx that I got on Ebay as a backup for these occasions. It'll run quick office and I still have an external keyboard for that model.
They are darned handy things, I've started carrying the z22 around all the time and it's great for note taking on the go.
