HP iPAQ 5455 if you've got the change... personally i wouldn't consider the tungsten w but that's just me... i'm a pocketpc fan. the 5455 is the newest iPAQ... the iPAQ 3975 was released about 6 or 7 months ago, and the 5455 very recently. The 5455 is HP's first PDA since the HP/Compaq merger. HP dropped their Jornada line and ran w/ the infamous iPAQs... the specs alone speak for the 5455.

the 5455 has fingerprint security too! (ultra-cool)

depens on your need,

I have a Palm M505, because of the software I use ( time report form http://www.iambic.com - www.iambic.com ) and a Toshiba e330 for navigation with GPS and Tom Tom. ( http://www.tomtom.com - www.tomtom.com )

I prefer the Palm, faster, easyer ,longer batt. live, no data loss with empy main batt.

But for the palm you need to buy some extra software like the agenda form iambic and a stickon keypad ( http://www.silkyboard.com - www.silkyboard.com ) then it works perfect or even better then a pocket PC.

Yes I know with the pocket Pc you have more fun stuf, but I use it for work to bill my customers ( time) and my boss (milage) And because of the ease it makes money for me, also bill the 5 min. jobs ans 2 mile trips.

I I buy a new one I ams thinging of the sony NZ90, a little to big but every thing i need for work (together with my GSM / GPRS
) http://sonyelectronics.sonystyle.com/micros/clie/models/nz90.html - http://sonyelectronics.sonystyle.com/micros/clie/models/nz90.html

I own the Clie NX60 which is a GREAT PDA!

Palm will release the Tungsten C soon which should be really neat. (64mb mem and 400mhz processor, and built in WiFi).
They will also release a new Zire. (The Zire 71). This one will only cost $300 but will have a great screen, a good built-in digital camera, and Palm OS 5 (150 mhz).

Try the NX60, you'll like it.
