  14. }The 140 is more solid physically, the bigger screen size is nice, the trackball
  15. }is better mechanically, it has two serial ports and Colour QD support. What it
  16. }also has is the bl**dy serial port hardware bug which doesn't seem to affect

  19. "Bigger screen size"?  Compared to the PB100?  I don't think that's correct;
  20. the 100 and the 140 have exactly the same screen; same size, same everything.
  21.  
  22. Gotta agree about the trackball, though.  I love my 100, but the trackball
  23. is pretty wimpy.
