Well, today is my day 14, and I have absolutely no qualms about keeping the thing. I've had no hard resets, only one soft reset, and I am very happy.

Mind you, I am going VERY slowly in putting Palm applications on the 7135, with only five or six "foreign" programs running. For me the question boils down to: If I had to live with the thing at the current level of functionality (that is, if every application I add after today causes my 7135 to be unusable, and I have to roll back to today's configuration), would I be happier than I was with my 6035?

The answer for me is: Yes, absolutely!

That is, even if the honeymoon ends abruptly tomorrow, I will still be truely, madly, and deeply in love with my 7135. I've been dependent upon my Palm since their first months shipping product, and dependent upon mobile phones since a couple of years after that (it took me a while to catch on to mobile phones). Now, having them both together in one unit, like the PDq, then 6035, and now the 7135, is something I have become totally dependent on, too. As with everything in these industries, the products keep getting better and better--Personally and professionally, I just can't see why the market for these devices isn't larger.

But then, as I've said elsewhere, my infatuation for the 7135 has made it clear to me that I am a pathetic techno-geek.

And proud of it!
