The Palm Keyboard has greatly improved my ability to input information into the Palm. The first thing you notice about the RIM is just how slick it looks. The screen is beautifully clear and approximately equal in size to the usable area of the Palm. It is lighter than the Palm III at 5.3 ounces. This is quite remarkable considering that it has a wireless modem built-in.
Navigation is via a thumb-wheel on the right side of the device.
This takes some time to get used-to especially after using the Palm. Another striking feature is that fact that the RIM has a keyboard built-in allowing for text input using your thumbs. Built-in software includes the standard organizer software such as address, memo, calculator and alarm. The device contains an internal rechargeable Lithium battery and a standard cradle is used to link the device to your computer for easy synchronization with your desktop organizer. The RIM kit also includes a leather pouch with a solid belt clip.
