I've found that GPE (aside from an annoying and occassionally buggy alarm sound) works great for my purposes - those who claim "poor support" must be tied to Palm Desktop or syncing with Outlook, because just about everything else works great for me.
GPE Calendar also has a problem where it will freeze during the entry of an event, and require a device reboot to start responding to any taps or button pushes. I hardly use the Palm Desktop, and don't use Outlook at all, but that doesn't mean I'm blind to buggy software. The GPE stuff is beta-grade. If they could stomp out some of the bugs it would be acceptable. If you don't need alarms/sound the Palm PIM apps under the Garnet VM work better than any of the stuff available for the n800.
