OK, I guess I'll be the only chump who has a *GOOD* experience with this PDA. I use it for school, keep track of due dates, etc. I nabbed it at Staples from the last time. Anyways, it does sync with Outlook 2000 just fine. It's still on the same set of batteries (I use it 3 days a week)and no splotches, calibration probs, or anything. From what I understand, one bad thing is that when the batteries die, you have to u/l it back up from Outlook since it forgets everything. I just CANNOT see myself dropping 300 bux for what I use it for and do not feel a need to play games on it or (for God's sake) take pictures with it...
Also, if I do recall, I did get the "right" CD with it; forgot which color. But I still have not gotten my damn free keyboard though.
To sum it up: as long as you do not need "hard-core planning" grab one. And if it isn't for you...drop in on fleabay. 'nuff said.
