Lost my "Stuff".

[+pigpen4x4]

I bought a older Handspring Visor a while ago, and I was THRILLED with it's performance.

Until Saturday.

The battery was showing about 1/2 when I turned it on.

I read a cache, started for it and next time it would not power up.

O.K., older batteries, they are a little weak, I can live with that. IF.

If I don't lose my data. Most of you already know what happend next.

Yep, all my data is in La La land. I had not Hotsynced in a couple of weeks,

losing some data on a couple of series.

So now I want a PDA that won't lose all the data if the batteries lose all their power.

Is there such an animal?

How about the cheap, is it Zire 22?

Thanks!

I feel your pain. I lost a few days worth of data on a caching vacation when the batteries in my PDA popped out (answers to virts and finds/take/leave/TB's). Like you I hadn't hotsync'd that trip (yet). I haven't heard of a PDA that will hold all data with dead batteries, but that doesn't mean there isn't one out there. The best answer I can give you is get in the habit of hotsync'ing.

From the Palm Zire 22 on-line manual:

 

"And don’t worry about losing your information. You can synchronize your info to your computer so you always have a backup copy, and even if the battery drains completely, the information stays in your handheld’s memory. Simply recharge your handheld to access the info again."

LifeDrives an T/Xs don't go stupid @ power loss either, not sure about others,

but seems to be a good trend for a change . . . . in the new Palms that is,

Magellan . . . . . not so sure yet, wish the dust would hurry up and settle!
