Help me replace a Handspring Visor Deluxe

[oboeguy]

... it met a gruesome end today -- dropped, screen b0rked. It's my old PDA which was handed-down to my better half (I get the good toys ).

It wasn't used much for anything other than basic PDA functionality (scheduling, etc). Suggestions?

Have you tried a Note"pad"

Is it just the screen thats broken?

 

[Savarak]

I got a Deluxe that I've been meaning to sell, plus another one for parts(screen broken on that one too)

I haven't seen the damage yet myself, but she told me the screen was toast. Do they still do screen replacements?

What's your price range oboeguy?

upgrade to color!

 

[oboeguy]

Update here: the screen decidely cracked (want pics?). It seems to otherwise be OK, so a screen replacement is possible. However, it looks to not be worth the money. Plus, it was suggested that the hand-me-down tradition continue if I have my eye on something for myself.

 

[oboeguy]

So, any recommendations on a possible upgrade for me from my Clié PEG-SJ33? I guess the only additional features I would find interesting are GPS exapnsion capability and wirless 'net (buit-in or expansion). I'm a Palm OS fan but I could be convinced to go to PocketPC (maybe).
