I have a 40' vine of bb's in my back yard,they are delicious,but a real pain in the ass to pick,the vines have very small thorns.

I've got both kinds. The plant and the pdf email thing. The plant has a lot of thorns, but the fruit is nice and plump. dont let em stay wet or they get moldy.
The pdf thing was cool, but hard to type with just the edge of your thumbs. Hard to get capital letters too.
Hope that answered either question..
I'll sell you mine if you want it.

We brought a bunch in and I used one for a while. I didn't like it compared to a Palm for some of the reasons Mandy cited. I had to type with the stylus but it was faster than the Palm and graffiti.
Still, it's pretty big for what it is. Also, the local carrier charges $65/mo and then bills for use on top of that. I'd really have to need it for that.
I have to admit, it was cool to send/read email from the road. :cool:

Have a 7210 Color AT&T...Phone, Web, Email, Rolodex, Calendar...don't leave home without it...can even access Hot Boat from it.....GSM phones don't seem to have the coverage that the old digital phones do, but it is getting better...also, as a full time phone if you were in sales and spent 24/7 on it, I would get something more phone friendly, but for a converged device where I don't need to spend my whole day on it; it is best thing out. Have tried several smart phones, Palm's and IPAQ's...The syncronization capability of it (Always on) beats those others....very simple to use as well.

They'd be great if they weren't always ringing and vibrating. Damn things MAKE you stay in contact with your office....

My brother uses his all the time but with his spelling (no spell check that I am aware of) he looks stupid at times.
I tried one but it did not cover Lake Mohave so forget that. Working while on the lake was what I was trying to accomplish.
