RIM Pagers, these things rock.. (Score 1)

This is about your best bet for wireless email.. Motorola's Page Writer is nice, but it's flip top can be easily broken. RIM had a device out like this a few years ago... IT has 4.5 MB of flash, whereas the RIM 950 has 4 MB and the RIM 957 has 5 MB..

Motorola's has 9 lines of display, the RIM 950 has 6 or 8 and the RIM 957 has 16 or 20.. (user selectable)

RIM's pagers

Like said before, RIM's pagers are wireless devices that are also PDAs... No flip tops and no external antennas to be broken. No external add ons to carry around that will increase it's size..
They are not bulky as refered to earlier.. The 957 is about the size of a Palm and the 950 is the the size of a regular playing card..

Also as earlier, I don't see any reason to carry around a Palm also, because the RIM pagers are also date books, address books, has to do lists, everything the Palm has to offer besides the extra apps.. Palm has been around longer and is more widely used and therefore has a lot of extra apps.. But the SDK for RIM pagers is available..

If you check out www.neomar.com, they are soon releasing a WAP for the Palm and the RIM devices. I don't know when..
