My suggestion is, don't bother with getting a PDA. Why not? 3 biggest limitations: *Too expensive to purchase *Monthly wireless access fees are exploitatory -- way too high *Device too small to use easily Other telling problems: *Extremely difficult to input data *Extremely difficult to migrate and sync data from a desktop *Fonts are too small to read easily in poor conditions *Device is easily lost *If device is lost, personal data security is quickly compromised *Devices are poorly built -- can't survive being dropped, extremes of heat and cold, sweaty bodies, being jarred *Not much PDA -- very little memory, you can't load a different OS easily or upgrade the innards My old Palm VIIx, once my pride and joy, is unused for the above reasons.
