[From David Anderson] I look to Palm Addicts on a daily basis to keep me up to date on what is happening in the Palm and Mobile Technology world. It was your raving reviews of the Treo 650 that convinced me to buy one not too long ago. I am a long time Palm user going all the way back to the Pilot, and I have owned almost every model produced by Palm, and a couple of Sony Models. My most recent model before the Treo, was a Lifedrive, and I have been more or less pleased with it, despite the sometimes flaky behaviour and resets.
After purchasing my Treo, I carried both units for a while. But began an experiment about a week ago to carry only the Treo. It has worked out well. My only real issue with the Treo has been memory. As a power user of Palm devices, I have loads of software that I used on a regular basis. The Treo has some wonderful enhancement applications, but I find that most of them require that they be loaded into main memory. So despite my investment in a 2 GB memory card, I am constantly hovering around 5mb of real memory. Any advice from fellow addicts, would be appreciated. I have the usual Treo app base.

and a couple of other applications. I use Launcher X as my launcher, and load what I can onto the memory card, but if you read the list above, most of those goodies need to be in RAM.
I use my Treo as my mobile office, and with Chattermail I am able to stay mobile without worrying about missing anything important. I tip my hat to you and PA daily for convincing me to invest in a Treo. My wife recently lost her mobile, so I am thinking of buying another. While she is no where near the power user I am, I would love to get her a bit more organized, and that would help me as well. Well, that's it for now Sammy. Good luck, and make the next seven years show you continuing success.
