Dell X30 - Possible migrate from Palm T3 - Any Good?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi - In the UK the Dell X30 us currently reduced on the Dell site to
£215. That's beginning to tempt me away from my Palm T3, which has a
dying battery.

I've never had a PPC, nut can see the writing on the wall re Palm, and
with the battery on the way out this seems maybe a good time to
change.

So, a few newby questions I'm afraid.

I'm concerned that with PPC 2005 coming out in a while, will the Dell
X30 be upgradeable to PPC 2005?

With the X30 not being VGA, would I be buying dead duck already i.e.
technology on the way out?

What's the X30 like as a performer? I've read several reviews, but I'm
keen to hear from people here that have used or have one already.

I have a lot of ebooks on my Palm. Is it possible to convert PDB
ebooks into PPC format. I don't want to lose access to my books, so
any thoughts?

Would I be being a silly bugger buying a Dell X30? The price seems
very good until March 30th only.

If you have purchased your eBooks in Mobipocket format, you can
transfer them on your PDA or Smartphone (Palm, PocketPC, Symbian,
....).

Hi - I was the original poster. My NG message was about three weeks
ago. I did get the X30, but got it direct from Dell as they were doing
a deal at the time for the X30high at £215 inc VAT and delivery, which
is darn good considering your Dell at www.totalpda.com was £169 plus
VAT (total £198) for a refurbished plus their delivery cost makes it
£216.20 you paid (I checked the site).

Well pleased with mine.
