I say it's about time. I wonder how this will hurt Palm m500 sales?

And people thought I was nuts...

Many people here hammered me about five months ago because I felt Handspring didn't offer any incentive to help loyal customers migrate to newer toys.

Hey, even Microsoft offers a discount for Office users.

Anyway, I'm glad to see it happen. I can't say I'm really interested until I see a color Edge, but I'm glad Handspring has heard the pleas of its customers.

In the end, they're making money. And $299 is probably where this thing needs to be, anyway. And it's not about saving major bucks, it's about wanting some sign that your long-time business is appreciated.

Well...

I see you're as friendly as ever. If only the world could be as perfect as you.

I bow to your supremeness.

And the point is... I'm glad Handspring is doing it.

Thanks, Dick.

I'm glad I took advantage of this. I had an edge earlier and returned it due to the problems with resetting itself. I hope this one will be ok, and if its not well Handspring's customer service is still excellent. Its funny I didn't know who you were responding to and had to log out and read this thread again. Thank goodness for the "ignore" option!

Looks like I'm upgrading (Fingers Crossed)

I have a buyer for my Deluxe on E-Bay and as soon as the Palpal transfer shows up I am ordering a Red Edge. I am a little apprehensive after some post I've read. But I really want the tinner form factor. I do hope that someone comes up with a Springboard adapter thats a little better than the Handspring. I don't have any springboards yet, but would at least like to get a backup or extra storage on SM.

And maybe if someone comes up with a CDMA phone module that works well with the Edge.

A keyboard is in the future.
