I need a PDA -- looking for advice

[krunchyfrogg]

I'm only looking for a good palm pilot that won't break down on me.

 

I do NOT need any special features like games, maps, ect. I only need it for a datebook/notekeeper.

 

I don't need color, and I don't care if the thing is Windows based, or a Palm Pilot or whatever. Just something simple.

 

TIA

Don't get one that will just meet the needs and uses you think you will have for it. When you start using one you find more and more things to do with it.

 

I am drooling over the new Palm with the huge internal memory.

lol, what price range are you looking at?

[P.A.L]

I have a sony "clie" sj20/u, I like all the sony models, they work good, my advise for you is to buy a replacment plan along with the PDA.

[ncole_91]

What is the price range you guys are talking about?

....i wouldn't.

 

my cousin works for symbian and does programming for the nokia phones among others.

 

(he was also one of the first people in the uk to use 3G to make a video call to japan....)

 

they're not worth a twinkie.

 

if you want a pda get a pda

 

but then again, before you get one,

 

are you actually going to use it?

 

i'm always tempted to but then i think i would do more and use more with a simple notebook and pen.

Comment appreciated DM, what I was trying to say is smart phones

 

(Nokia or any other,not promoting any brand names), and other mobile multimedia (N-Gage,Microsoft multimedia center) are starting to have many utilities that not long ago were considered as

 

being in separate gadgets.

 

In other words why carry two things when you can have it all in one.Also PDA´s consume lots of battery power because of their large screens

 

By the way I currently own a HP h1930 Pocket Pc.

I'm just looking for a datebook here.

 

I would like to spend less that $100, if possible.

 

How about that Palm Zire? Any good?

well, according to my cuz, one of the better smart phones is still the ericsson

 

(900? i'm not too clued up on the model numbers...).

 

he says the basic model for the o/s used in the nokia phones is a bit mickey mouse cos they have a short market life.

 

the ericsson on the other hand is aimed at a different market.

 

his opinion.

 

the nokia 6200 (the direct rival for the ericsson at the time) is a phone that tries to be a pda as well.

 

the ericsson is a pda that is also a phone.

 

then again this was last year.

 

things change.

 

i have no idea if he's still on the phone softeware or if he's been put on the big texas instruments project.....

 

um sorry for hi-jacking your thread.

 

i'm going now......
