recommend me a good PDA with palm OS

[rudeguy]

I need to get a PDA. My only requirement is that it run on the palm os. This is mandatory since I am going to be using it to run this program. I really dont need anything fancy, or even a color screen. Any help is appreciated.

Have you looked at the Palm Zire ? I think they go for ~$50.

Tungsten E has a beautiful screen for an entry level PDA.

Or buy a used Palm, a non-colour screen one should give you a lot longer battery life.

I like some of the Handspring (now palmone I guess) models.

not really sure. I was hoping to keep it under $150, but the cheaper the better. I would like something not used though. I like having a warranty on the things I buy.

whatever you do don't get the zire71. i got it as a gift so i'm happy w/ it, but its definitely bulkier than i would've liked, and doesn't have as many functions as many of the cooler new palms out there.

Since Staples.com (the evil empire) has some coupons which expire this Sat 3/20, here's what I would consider

Palm Tungsten E

Palm Zire 21

Palm Zire

Sony Clie TJ27

There is a Staples.com $30 off $150 coupon code which expires 3/20 to help lower the costs.

I recently picked up the Tungsten E and it has a beautiful screen. I also like the look and feel of the all metal casing.

It has a camera though, right?

I dont need a camera or any of that fancy stuff. This is basically going to be just to store the data I need and run a pretty simple program. The zire 21 is looking pretty good right now.

Pad your order up to $100 and use a $20 off $100 coupon to save even more

I was about to order a zire and a new pen...but I think I found one brand new in FS/FT for $55 shipped.
