Faisal, does your T615E only have USB?
Also is the base 8MB enough for a Palm OS?
What kinda battery is better, Lithium Ion or the Lithium polymer

Well, mine is 615C and it depends on how you define "only"? :) Out of the box cradle and most after-market sync-cables attach to the USB port cz its fastest. But the device itself can link via Serial or Infrared too. Infact, my 615C works as a remote for my TV/VCR/DVD out of the box. It has all the drivers built in. Point being, the infrared connectivity is pretty strong.
8MB is pretty enough for me. Usual use. Some 200 contacts, calendar and To-dos. Nothing too memory intensive. I carry pics of the family with me, but they are compressed really well. When at work in the cradle, the device doubles up as a digital photostand (although the screen is small for that purpose) as it shows all the pics as a slide-show. If you need more memory, u can get Memory Stick. Almost all devices have some kinda memory expansion cards for them.
I am not sure about the difference in these battery types. The battery of the device has never died on me. It has not even gone below 80% level as well. I typically keep it in the cradle all the time I am at work, so won't know the maximum days it can go without one. But the only time, I forgot the cradle on a trip to Chicago, I lost only about 15% of the charge by the fourth day when I returned. Normal use, no more, no less. So, I am kinda indifferent to the battery types. About 4 years ago I used to have a Casseopia, which required 2 AA's and it was a horrible experience. Now almost all PDA devices come with rechargable batteries, and unless someone is on the road a long time or habitually forgets to charge the thing, the battery life is typically more than enough to last a week or more with normal use.
