i was wondering is there any way i can change from my palm os over onto WINDOWS OS. i just wanted to see if i can try out the windows mobile.

the only way to try out windows mobile is to buy a windows mobile device or borrow a friend's. there is no way to install any windows os on a palm device. physical and technical limitations, you see.

Yep, unfortunately it's not that easy.

yup sorry if you want windows mobile you have to buy a 750, 700wx . Plus even if you could all of the soft key buttons are made for palm os.
