Palm Pilot Devices
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.

RE: Palm Pilot Devices
Well I looked at these for organizational use and let me first state we ended up Compaq 1500 then 3645 B/W PocketPC but I use a Jornada for myself. The difference between B/W Pocket and palms are not that great. If all you want is a portable outlook then either will work OK. You can get Palm software to read work/excel docs. The big thing is what other software do you want to use or need. Palm does have a lot more software and getting something from Handspring will enable your boss to do some very cool stuff. If color is important (which is it to lots of people) then PocketPC is the only way to go. PocketPC cost more then Palms. Interesting, my observations both will not sync about the same number of times. Lastly stay away from Blackberry unless your boss only travels to major cities (on east coast or west coast) and does not want to use a cell phone. ellery -Original Message- From: John Riley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 12:43 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Palm Pilot Devices This is a bit off topic, but the company president is looking to buy a hand held electronic scheduler/calendar.

RE: Palm Pilot Devices
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.

Re: Palm Pilot Devices
Title: RE: Palm Pilot Devices You'll be just fine. the BB is certainly not a pocket pc. but it is a damn cool pager. and good for testing email when on site with a client. one word of caution set them to vibrate so they don't beep. And don't pull the quick draw routine with it, when talking to others. For some reason it really seems to piss off a lot of people. the best part is you can have secure communication from BB to BB if you use their pin # instead of the exchange server. It's good when you're pissed at the boss. or sending dirty jokes to coworkers. I was very happy with the performance when I had to use one.

RE: Palm Pilot Devices
My biggest problem with palm is the sync software was a pain to setup on a secured Win2k workstation. You have to have admin privilages to install, as it should be, but then you have to move shortcuts and other stuff to the All Users profile. I have moved everyone I could off of Palm and onto PocketPC's. ActiveSync is much more Win2k friendly. You just install it and most of the time it works. I have had issues with USB Sync cradles but I haven't had any complaints from my users in a long time.

RE: Palm Pilot Devices
Title: RE: Palm Pilot Devices The Blackberry is a great, easy to use, simple to understand tool for sales drones and the like. I don't think I would put it in the same class as a pocket PC, for most of the reasons spelled out in this thread. It is not as multi-functional as a PocketPC, it is really only designed to receive wireless email. The fact that the messages are pushed to it is a big plus for some of the more technology-challenged users I have (those that have to put "lunch" on their calendar to remind them to eat). Is it the right tool to admin your network while sitting on a lounge chair on the beach in Maui?, no. Will it deliver email and meeting requests to the VP of sales while he's on the 12th fairway during a "business meeting"?, absolutely. I've got an BB server with about 20 users, which we've been running for about 18 months now - please feel free to pm me if you have any questions when you get it. -Jim Jim Holmgren MCSE, CCNA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Engineer Advertising.com We bring innovation to interactive communication.
