I finally have a use for pda! (I've had ipaq's in the past but never really had a reason to own one aside from a toy, but now I'm all excited because I can actually justify purchasing one! :D)

Anyway, I decided that it would be good to have a digital camera, mainly for work reasons, because of that it has lead me to these 2 choices:

Sony Clie PEG-TH55
Sony Clie PEG-UX50

I really like the horazontal orientation of the UX50, and the keyboard would be nice instead of using a virtual keyboard, the size is very appealing, but the screen leaves a bit to be desired. From reviews at Brighthand it seems as though some have gripes about the small size of the screen, and even smaller size when using a virtual keyboard/graffiti.

The TH55 on the other hand has a fairly decient sized screen, the digital camera, but it's a bit bigger and comes with less memory.

I really wouldn't mind picking up a NZ90 but they seem really big, almost to the point where it isn't portable. (I would like to be able to keep it in a pocket)

What do you guys think?

Out of the ones you listed I would go with the TH55. I don't really care for the built in keyboards on the UX50 or NZ90. I was playing with the TH55 at Fry's the other day and I think its pretty nice. If I were to go with something other than a Clie I would go with the new Dell Axim X30. It's got the 624mhz processor which blows all the others away (right now) it has bluetooth and wifi built in or you can get a lower speed with 312mhz processor for $100 less. I think the digital cameras on a PDA are kind of useless with no optical zoom.
