Looking for a PDA under $200, any suggestions?

[trmiv]

I really need a new PDA after getting rid of my last one. I didn't use that one as much as I'd like, because it was a huge beast (Casio E-125). What I really want is a good PDA that is small, and light. Something I can be comfortable carrying in my pocket. Something under $200 (I'd prefer under $150 though). I'm not opposed to finding a used one on Ebay. What models would anyone recommend? I'm not interested in watching videos or listening to MP3's on my PDA, so I don't need a super powerful one.

Do you prefer Palm or Pocket PC OS?

Honestly, it doesn't matter to me which one.

Low cost, light weight. Check out: iPaq 1935, Viewsonic V35, and Toshiba e335 or e355. If you want really really light (but sucky), Palm Zire or Palm Zire 21.

Sony TJ25?

I have the SJ33, which is great. They replaced it with the TJ35, which is even slimmer and lighter, but I can't find it anywhere all of a sudden. I think the TJ25 is the same, but without MP3 playback.

Ah, found a link to the TJ35, $219 after rebate (out of your range, but worth it if you want MP3 playback):

TJ35

You might be able to bring the price down with some Hot Deal, who knows?

You can get a Palm Zire71 w/Digital Camera for $199.99 at Office Max tomorrow. That's out the door, no mail-in rebates. But you got to have the flyer.
The store here isn't handing them out (flyers) until tomorrow. I kept asking until they went in the office and got one for me.

It's in their friends & family savings event flyer.

There was a post with a link to a scan of the flyer in the HotDeals forum, but I can't seem to find it.

That is an excellent price, retails for $299 doesn't it?

Thanks for the link RossMAN. For awhile there I thought it had been deleted.

Yep. A co-worker just bought one 2 weeks ago at Sears for $299. I told him about the one at OM. $100 difference.
Takes pretty good pics.

I own 1910 and love it. Excellent screen and a tiny form factor. I'd recommend to spulrge on a nice case, a good Krussell case will run you about $25.00 on ebay.
