Thinking of getting a new PDA.

I quite fancy the Sony ones after having a quick look at someone else's.

Any thoughts or links to decent PDA review websites?

Thanks

I would say go for a Fujitsu Siemens PocketLoox. They are getting alot or very high reviews and beating off all the competition with a big stick.

Also look at Greg H's PDA site.

How about the new Dell PDAs that will be out before Christmas they look like they are going to shake the market up. I was going to go for the Loox but after reading previews of the Dells I am going to wait.

Cool

It all depends what you want from your PDA... & what you want to do with it.

I'd say Loox, but that's because I like 'em & they have BT & both CF & SD slots. Its also recently won some awards for being best on the block type thing.

I like the XDA but its overpriced IMHO & low on memory (32mb).

Those are PocketPC based & there are of course Palm & Linux versions around too, offering different things.

Wait for the Palm Tungsten W or Sony P800.
Quality!

Plus you're tied into O2 (the XDA won't work on any other network).

Alledgedly O2's exclusivity only exists in this country & that agreement may be up in the near future...

Try this as the ultimate - should be worth waiting for!

I have used Expansys in the past, very reliable (and no, I don't work for them)
