Negative Positive
Title: very useful and flexible
Review: I'm a long time Palm user. After two days with the 5mx, I'm a convert.The bad news about the 5mx: It is larger than a Palm III, Palm V, Visor, etc. The screen contrast isn't great.The good news:1. It has a keyboard. I find input of text much faster and easier than the Palm even though I am fairly experienced with Graffiti.2. It has 16MB of RAM and is expandable with off the shelf CompactFlash cards. One of the first things I did was purchase a 48MB CompactFlash card.3. You can program in perl, java, or python on the 5mx.4. There is a lot of freeware/shareware available. Not as much as for the Palm, but still I find that software is available to duplicate almost all the functions that I used on the Palm.5. The 5mx can multitask.6. The built-in Email client can use POP/IMAP/SMTP to fetch and deliver mail to an ISPs mail server.7. The screen is big enough that web browsing on the 5mx is actually fairly practical.8. The 5mx runs nethack ;-)
Is the review positive or negative?
