looking to buy a PDA

[StevenYoo]

hi all,

i'm looking to buy a PDA or a cell phone with PDA functions and/or computer connectivity (USB or Bluetooth or whatever). i know the latter costs big bucks, so a cell-phone with simple organizer functions would work too.

my friend is offering to sell me his old Compaq iPaq 3650 for $120 with a PCMCIA adapter included.

my budget is around that same price - $150'ish if possible, 200 at the very most. what;s a good PDA available for this price-range?

am i better off buying the old iPaq from my friend or investing in another model?

thanks

I definitely like the iPaq. Very well built, comes with some good software, and pretty expandable.

That said, I bought a cheap HP Jornada 547 and it handles everything I need it for.. calendar, reminders, phone book, checkbook register, etc.

I currently use an O2 XDA I It's a PDA with GSM/GRPS cell phone capabilities.

If the old IPAQ is in good condition, why not go for that (your first PDA I'm assuming?). Check the above link though, you may find something new in your budget.

Everyone in my office have Dell pdas. Check out the Dell Axim X3 series with built-in wireless.

It may be a little more expensive, but at least you won't have to worry about wireless-card compatibility issues that everyone seems to have these days.

I've seen the HP iPaq 1945 for around $200.
