That's why I got a BlackBerry.
I knew I'ld never use a Palm, and I already tried a
Pocket PC...but I needed something beyond the
functionality of my Newton and my cell phone...So, I
got a BlackBerry 7520 from Nextel. Now I have web,
email and bluetooth including phone on my Blackberry
and my note taking and book reading on my Newton!.
Of course, I've somewhat reduced the functionality of
my Newton by syncing the Blackberry with my Outlook
schedule, but I'm finding that the Blackberry's
implementation of the scheduler to be a little too
basic...I may yet retain that functionality on my
Newt!
But I do think its funny when a coworker noticed my
Blackberry and proclaimed "welcome to the 21st
century..." A poignant barb to say the least!
