REcommend me a Pocket PC

[KevinH]

Hey fellas,

I tried going on CNET to do some research but the sheer number of models was too overwhelming. That said, I'd like to use a Pocket PC in lieu of a financial calculator (specifically for real estate etc.). Likewise, I plan on using any wireless features, mp3, etc etc. Sooo...any recommendations?

tia,

I'll make it easy for you.

Get either the HP iPaq 4155 or Dell Axim X3i

Voted for Dell Axim. I got the X5, but I think that's no longer being made

I recommend you buy me a Pocket PC.

I have a Dell Axim X3i and it is pretty sweet. I just need to use it more.

I don't know if you need a PocketPC specifically or just a general-use PDA, but I really like the Palm Tungsten series. The high-end ones have 802.11b built in if you need that.

Me too.
Get one with the new 2003 windows, its alot better I hear. Bluetooht and 802.xx a must. IMHO , let them mature some more.

application development for ppc is so much easier though... as a developer i could never spring for a palm

Thanks for recommendations so far guys. I just looked at the Dell Axim X3i and it appears to be on sale for 297 now. If I could find a fat coupon I think I'd be set. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing of the bunch but it comes with so much for the price...

I was deciding between an Ipaq 4155 and a Dell Axim myself. Got the Ipaq 4155 over the Axim. While it costs more it sure fits in the pocket very nicely with the rounded corners. Also I didn't like how far the antenna stuck out on the axim for wireless. The Ipaq doesn't have any protuding antennas.
