Question Which PDA circa 150 quid ?

Help - the wifes Palm M130 has given up the ghost and Ive got to get her another.

Whats good in this area - shes not wedded to a particular brand and uses contacts, diary, calculator - not email (wierd !). I think it must be color.

I would like wifi as I'm too lazy to turn on my notebook just to check whats on the box via radiotimes.com.

Im in the US next week so could get something out there but I dont think there is much in it even with the exchange rate.

Any ideas ?

I got my g/f an Ipaq 4150 for xmas and it's awesome - has wireless and bluetooth built-in. It's really slim and fits in the hand very well.

I think they go for 400 bucks or so, so a little over budget but well worth it.

Tunsgten E will give the least amount of problems. It'll also feel a lot faster than the M130.

You won't get WIFI for £150 though.

I've just bought an Acer N-30 after reading some glowing reviews

It's around your budget - has all the usual with the useful addition of Bluetooth From a specification poit of view there's very little that can compete with it for under £200

Just read your requirement for integrated Wireless - my apologies. I would definitely still rate the N-30 though if wireless isn't absolutely essential

Dell Axim Xi30's are cheap at the moment. Around £150, has Wifi and Bluetooth built in as well.

If you can stretch to around £200 you can pick up a used/new Toshiba e800, integrated wifi, dual slots, 640x480 vga screen.

I'm impressed wth mine.

If you can stretch to one and find one when you are over there (going to be discontinued soon iirc to make way for the hx series) I'd go for an Ipaq 4150.

Not much heavier/bigger than the tiny 1900 series and has everything on it.
