More info on upgrading from Palm Tungsten E

[migoblu]

I have a Palm Tungsten E handheld and I am looking to upgrade it to a Palm Tungsten TX, or one of the following HP iPAQs: HP rx1950; or HP hx2410 64MB; or HP hx2410 128MBa Pocket PC. Having only used the Palm OS, I was wondering which is best Palm or Pocket PC? My Tungsten E has battery issues now, will lose power causing me to have do a soft reset or or hard reset, and then trying to reload everything. I have had to do this at least 3 times within the last 3 months. At this time I have lost the keyboard function and this thing is driving me crazy. I know that the HPs I have listed have removable batteries and this may be the selling point fo me. Please give me your thoughts on Palm or Pocket PC. Thanks.

It really depends on what you are doing with your PDA. If you are going to use it to look at a lot of Word documents or other Windows files, then a Pocket PC may be a better idea. If you are just using it as an organizer, I've always liked Palms better because I think their software is easier to use and less bug prone.

Please don't double post the same question. I'm closing the other thread.

I wanted to add something that I thought would help. Thanks for your reply doctorgonzo. I use my Palm Tungsten E to read PDF files mostly. Will the HP iPAQ do a better job than the Palm? Thanks.

I honestly don't know which is better for PDFs since I've never used a Pocket PC and only rarely use a Palm. I know that boht can certainly display them, but as far as which is easier, I'm not sure.
