Latest gadget lust

Gadget lust: I had a couple of chances in the past two weeks to get in some serious play with the Palm Tungsten C, which just might be my next PDA. I've been very happy with my Sony Clie but, frankly, the lack of Mac support (except through third-party apps) and the limitations of my low-end model are beginning to frustrate me. The combination of the high-res screen, built in WiFi and pretty decent bundled applications -- including web browser and e-mail -- make the Tungsten C an attractive option. It's a bit spendy at a list price of $500, but Amazon lists them right now for $429.

Before I can splurge on that new toy, however, I've got to replace my cell phone, which has developed two rather nasty bugs: a tendency to lock-up and require a hard reboot (i.e., remove the battery) and occasionally making all but three of the numbers in the phone directory disappear until the phone is switched off and then on again.

I'll probably wind up getting the Sanyo 8100 but, man, I wish Sprint offered discounts to loyal customers of six years instead of just to new customers. Spending an extra $100 for a phone I shouldn't have to replace this soon anyway hardly makes me feel appreciated.
