- Both looks brand new.

FAQs:
Q: Do you need a phone?
A: I already have a phone, but an O2 mini allows me to have 1 single console on me at a time. I don't have a handbag, FYI.

Q: Which is more stable?
A: Of course the one with the Palm OS, but the O2 mini is the most stable of all PPCs.

Q: Do you need a PDA?
A: Duh... of course. If not, I would not be deciding between a PDA and a PPC

Q: Will my decision make up your mind?
A: My mind is pretty made up... just need a little nudge to push me over, and a little pull to pull me over the other side.

Q: Of course the T|X, it has longer battery life.
A: Excuse me, but T|X is just a PDA. O2 mini is a PPC + PHONE, battery drains like how your HP drains batteries.

Q: What is this post for?
A: Go to hell.


So let the debate begin.

I hate computers!! Give me an N64 anyday!!
