Fancy a PDA. It has to be fairly robust - want to keep it in a jacket pocket kinda thing without being too worried about light knocks etc. I don't need to spend a fortune, it doesn't have to run MPEGS etc.
I want one thats easy to use, intuitive..I'd like to get a pair so the woman and I can both synch with each other (diaries etc)
Any suggestions? And a good place to buy?
Txs v much

Wasn't somebody selling on on here a few days ago?

I'd go for an iPaq - been looking at them myself. I can't justify it, 'cos I'm moving house and already have a cool subnotebook.

 

You might want to try the handspring range: http://www.handspring.co.uk

Good price / sturdy / easy to use / infra-red sync with another device... lots of models to choose from...

 

IPAQ

 

iPAQ is overkill, moderate price £500? Blimey you lot must be rich LOL! Must be some fairly capable stuff around £200?
Will look at Handspring.

Motorola Accompli A008 phone/pda jobby.

I've a pre-release model & it is surprisingly easy to use. Allows emails, wap, diaries etc etc & syncs with a laptop or PC. Uses GPRS so faster d/load & is at least dual-band poss tri - can't remember.

 

It does depend on what you actually want it for.

For example, I use my mobile phone as a PDA (it's a Siemens S45). I can read/send emails using WAP over GPRS - it works very well. I can organise my contacts and sync 'em with my outlook ones. I can set reminders for appointments and use it as an alarm. And I can make notes and stuff in it and even record voice memos which I can copy to my PC as wav files.

So unless you're doing a great deal more than the above, you may not need a PDA. And if you are doing more, then you'll probably end up wanting an iPaq.

 

I'm a Palm fan - IPAQ's are just too big.

 

New sony clio.

Mate at work just bought one from the states - fantastic! Built in camera and all!

 

That would have been me that was selling my ipaq.....

My Lovely Just Purchased Ipaq 3850 And Goodies

I was getting some hilarious offers on here, so put it on Ebay.

I want £400 for Everything and it looks like it is going to be that anyway Let me know if you are interested.

As for them being too big for Pockets, I disagree and would also take one of these over a Handspring any day. Our company Has Handspring, Palm, Acer and Compaq units and all but the compaq units are gathering dust now...

Cheers,

Nick

£400 still way too much for me, though a fair price for the package.
Gonna play with a palm m130 thing and a Handspring - £225 vs £150, to see whats what.
