I'm looking to get my girlfriend a PDA as one of her gifts for Christmas. I'm not sure how much see would use it so I only want to spend upto £100. I've seen the Palm M105 for £60, but does anyone else have any recommendations?

Thanks
Steven

Sony SL-10 (PalmOS) was my choice. Definately the best you can buy at present for the £100 mark. The following site keeps an eye on prices

SL-10 is £85 from Empire Direct at moment

I've seen a few on e-bay, but I don't want the girlfriend thinking I'm tight by buying a second hand one. May have a look on there for myself though. I know on some of them you can have excel and word installed, does the Sony support this or is this on the higher spec models?

There's the new Palm Zire thats about £100.

I've got a Palm 515 if you're interested, but I want £200 for it. It arrived this morning and it's brand new and unopened. The result of a house insurance claim - it took them 4 weeks to replace it so I went out and bought another one, but the ******* still insisted on a physical replacement rather than a settlement as I didn't have my original receipt.
