+TexasGringo Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 After all the reports here...I'm really happy now that I didn't hurry up and buy a Colorado. I don't want to dish out $500 to be a Garmin Beta Tester. With all the reported problems...I wonder if they can be fixed by just firmware updates alone...and not a whole hardware (chipset) redesign / replacement. I wanted to get a Colorado to replace my 60CSX and start on the "Where-I-Go" stuff...but now I'll probably just get a PDA...probably a Mio (because they tested on a Mio 350)...and work with that. I'll just have to watch the progress and posts of current Colorado users and see if by the end of 2008...there are positive posts. Until then...My 60CSX works just fine for me. Quote
+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 They still make PDAs? I thought you had to buy a phone these days in order to get one. Quote
+TexasGringo Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 PDA...PPC...Smart Phone....something. I'll watch the Where-I-Go hardware forum and see what people have luck with. I want something seperate from my phone...so when everything locks, freezes and shuts down in the middle of the wilderness...I still have a working phone to call the evacuation helicopters. Quote
+apersson850 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 When I'm in the middle of the wilderness, I've no cell phone coverage. Perhaps not that wild around your home turf? Quote

+JSWilson64 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Wherigo is sort of interesting to me. Until I read that my 60CSx isn't good enough to play it. I understand about using software to drive hardware sales, but Wherigo ain't Halo, at least not yet. There's going to be a lot of folks with high-dollar gear who are pi$$ed off that they can't play.

Geez, I'm in the middle of NJ and don't get cell phone coverage in a lot of places when out in the woods. Quote

Maybe it is because the Cell Phone signals can't penetrate the SMOG coming in from NY, Staten Island, Bayonne, the Exxon refineries in Linden...etc. Maybe that is why your post came across twice...confusion in the SMOG.....LOL Edited January 31, 2008 by Drooling_Mongoloid Quote
