The Palm Tungsten W is a broken piece of crap

I was in Berlin last weekend, and somehow my Palm Tungsten W (which I also use as a mobile phone) crashed. When I rebooted the device, and tried to re-start the "phone" service, it crashed again. And again. And then it committed suicide and erased everything (calendar data, address book, installed apps, everything).

Today I figured out what the problem was: a text message from some foreign number, but not German, arrived as soon I turned on the "phone" part again when I had re-entered the Netherlands. So for some reason the Tungsten W crashes when it receives a text message from a different country than the one you're roaming in.

I'm switching back to a real phone, not a PDA that tries to be one.
