Price range a max of 800 bucks but would prefer something way cheaper.

What am i gonna use it for? It's for my sister so im not sure but she wants to be able to check certain medical web sites or something like that while at work (she's a dentist)

You did not mention specifications about memory,screen type,OS which you need.I will give details of few models of pdas and later you can choose the best you need.

So the Palm VII is the only one that has built in wireless?

you can get a palmX, visor platinum, or visor prism (color) and add a wireless modem to them for only 100 bucks (with service plan) if you look at handspring.com you'll see a link to the wireless modem. these are much cheaper options...
