Title: RE: Palm Pilot Devices
hmmm...sorry for your bad experience. 
I've never used one to initiate a meeting request (fortunately I don't go to many meetings) but many of my users have done so without problems.  Their tech-support has been relatively good on the few occasions I've had to call.
 
We have users in San Francisco, Baltimore, and NYC with no reported coverage problems, of course those are three pretty major cities.  I suppose it would be important to find out what the coverage is like in the area you want to use it, pretty much the same as you would for a cell phone.  I believe Blackberry uses Cingular Cellular's (formerly Bell South) network.
 
Monthly cost seemed pretty straightforward to me.
 
To each his own!  I'm also a big fan of the PocketPC 2002 (I like the built-in VPN).

I tried to initiate meeting requests and the BB people told me that they were still working on it - yet sold me the product knowing I needed that. They also lied to me about coverage area and monthly costs.

Sure...with the Wireless Calendar conduit in version 2.1 (I believe) of the client software you can respond to meeting requests and update your calendar.

I agree with Robert's assessment of Palm and Pocket PC (Pocket PC 2002 looks pretty sweet from what I saw at MAC).  
 
What about a Blackberry?  He can carry a fully functional copy of his Outlook with him.

OPINION:

Palm= Ancient garbage.

Pocket PC is a NASA Skunkworks device compared to a Palm.

BUT:  Pocket PC is heavier, battery life is far shorter.  If he is only doing simple stuff (text email) Palm might be the way to go. 

Pocket PC Native:

Word
Outlook
Excel
PowerPoint
IE (FULL not clipping)
Voice recorder
Natural handwriting
VPN

PS  A Windows NT forum is a better place for this post...

This is a bit off topic, but the company president is looking to buy a
hand held electronic scheduler/calendar.  He will be using Outlook 2000 on
his desktop and would like something that will interface with OL 2000.  I
would  appreciate any suggestions from the list, since I am not
experienced in the Palm Pilot technology.

Thanks in advance,

JRiley
