i own a pocket pc, and after the first few weeks of owning it.. it just collected dust in its cradle forever charging~.. so now 2 months later, im trying to sell it, and im bound to lose a $100 on the exchange ..

It might be worth your money if you really have a reason for owning one.. like its required for work?.. or you have such a busy life that having a little scheduling thing in your pocket at all times would help alot. I thought it would be helpful to keep track of schedules, classes, etc.. but i never seemed to get around to inputting all that stuff. I just threw in a bunch of games that i got bored of relatively quick.

All in all, the zire71 is pretty nice, and worth the money if you have a need for it. Try and get a student discount on it if you know someone in college, or are in college yourself. If you wait a few weeks, you might like the new sony clie tj-37 .. it is similar to the zire, but smaller, and lol comes in a few colors.
