Hi, I am new Newton user too. I used if almost 4 month. I love it very much.
Compare with the Palm, I think it is the best. The only thing I think it is
not enough is the color. It is grayscale and not color ful. But I think it
is clear enough and fast enough, and it power is powerful than colourful
Palm. You will make a right decision if you buy it.
