Re: addictive??
 

well am impressed with all of ye, but most of ye gave the answer that am looking for, its YES it is addictive, but i think its only maybe because i have it still new, maybe if i wait another afew weeks or months i might get sick of it and try to get something that is new out there...

when i bought the 770 i never heard of it before i was looking for a PDA to right my notes on it specially because am doing alot of things at the moment so i keep forgetting so i wanted something with remindes me of things, until i got the 770 oh my got what a machine its unreal thats what i can say,, + a person like me i like technology so i didnt mind it at all, the memory on my blackberry is full so thats why i got it..
i never worked on the Linux before i still find it a bit weird to go around it but i belive that am going to get use to it after a while..
yes i take it so far everywhere to the college to my friends house in the living room while am having my dinner of even in toilts (say nothing to that, someone has to do it) :)

Why? Doesn't everybody do that?

Re: addictive??
 

I don't take mine _everywhere_ ... esp. not to the bathroom. But most places? yeah, most places.

Re: addictive??

Re: addictive??
 

I bought mine as soon as they were available. It was an often-used toy at first. Then it gathered dust for a while. It's only in the last few months that it has become really indispensable.

Despite my enthusiasm for GPS, PIM, OTG, etc, the real killer application for me is the ability to write things in text files. Out of habit, I still carry a notebook in my bag, but it is never used.

i find myself typing in the IT way faster then writing on a sheet of paper,,

Nobody will dispute that, although if you're not using some external (BT) keyboard, you must be the worst handwriter in the universe. Handwriting (both on paper and on a computer screen) has these advantages for me:

1. It's a more "hands on" approach (well duh!) to writing; people with kinetic memories tend to remember handwritten notes better than typed ones,

2. when writing stuff by hand, I always can see both my hand and the written text at the same time. This is -- rare and sad visual impairments notwithstanding :D -- not possible with typing.

3. And most importantly: writing on a computer screen looks cool. Always, anytime and everywhere. Typing is dorky. :rolleyes:

Also, of course, you can underline, circle, doodle, and scribble a lot easier when handwriting.

Theres some evidence on the net you're not alone:

:D

I take it "there", too, of course, usually to "read the papers"... news-sites.
If you do this, too, take my advice: Switch your IM-status to unavailable/offline/away... dont let others know you're online. I forgot this once and it was very, very strange to accept a chat request right there and then...
