So i was raiding my bedroom today and i found an old Palm Tungsten E2 Power PDA lying around. I remember that when i was younger, i would search for hours on end for the power cable (since the PDA died years ago and the power cable went missing), but to no avail. I have found a USB cable that fits, and i have tried plugging it into my computer, but it wont start. Can the USB sync cable charge the PDA, or am i out of luck?

I can’t afford to switch to a blackberry due to the added monthly service charges and need something that will sync to Microsoft Outlook.
This is not a smartphone and they no longer seem to make free standing PDA’s. I need something, not a phone, to manage appts and contacts that will sync with outlook.

I am considering a PDA (Palm OS 5) that syncs with my desktop. It is clear to me that having my finances in electronic form would have some real advantages. A portable device makes the most sense to me because I don’t want to use my home computer to enter every transaction. But whatever I use needs to be reliable and user friendly. Please share your experience and any recommendations. Thanks!

I’m looking for a handheld GPS or possibly a card or accessory for a laptop or PDA (Treo, Blackberry, Palm Pilot, etc) to use do some mapping and casual “surveying” of a piece of rural property.

Basically want to mark the location of features on a piece of property – creeks, gullies, trees, easements, well, outbuildings, etc.

I used to have a Blackberry Pearl 8110 that I loved, but I made the decision to trade it in for an iPhone instead. I hated the iPhone because I cannot acclimate to a touch-screen, and it had a lot of glitches. I am on AT&T, and I currently have a Blackberry Pearl Flip that is Unlocked. I thought I would have liked the phone, but it does not have the typical Blackberry Quality, and I am unable to get my email set up because it is unable to fully connect with the AT&T Network.

I am planning on purchasing my phone through eBay, it does not have to be new, but I would prefer to it be originally made for AT&T considering my trouble with my current unlocked phone.

I really like the Palm and Sony PDA’s from several years ago, but they’ve all seemed to have disappeared and replaced by smartphones with tiny screens.
