Help! I need a crash course in PDA's under $200.

[Fausto]

My wife's office has pooled $200 to buy a PDA for a woman who's leaving at the end of the week. I've been designated to dig around find the best deal on something under that price point.....and I know diddly about PDAs. Any pointers?

I don't really know much about PDA's either, but I've heard good things about Dells Axim.

Axim

$249, but has a $50 MIR.

Axim. Period.

Might want to consider the Hp Ipaq 1910. I believe that there is an office max deal for 300- 50 mir - 50 gc. It looks good, has enough processing power for pim, small form factor, and has a very nice screen.

Damn, I thought you needed a crash course in PDAs and were willing to pay up to $200 to take that course
Hmm.

ConsumerReports.com is your best bet otherwise.

Thanks for all the input guys...I appreciate it.

Pocket PC - Dell Axim is the best for $200 and most powerful

Palm - Sony Clie PEG-SJ22 or PEG-SJ20 for $120 after coupon.

my friend has the axim. it is an awesome value. my only qualm with it is its size, but other than that it's a nicely featured, powerful, color pda.

Here is another vote for the axim. I purchased the 300 Mhz version and I am happy with it

A friend has the Axim, and its pretty damn cool for the price. Its a bit bigger then some models but I love that screen.

just in case they don't want to use the Pocket PC OS, you can get a Palm m130 for under $200.

yeah but for a device w/the Palm OS - the Sony Clie PEG-SJ20 for $120 after coupon looks like a better deal to me for less $$$, no ???

i know the SJ20 is monochrome, but i just realized the SJ22 is color. if you can get the color version for $120, then that is a better deal
