Please give me your thoughts and suggestions.
I'm an avowed PocketPC fan.... so I won't comment on the Palm solutions. I would suggest you drop the Toshiba from your list and add Dell to it... but again that's more personal bias than anything real except that the Dell PPCs are first rate and well priced. Also consider what feature set you want.... I like having a VGA screen, but wouldn't kill myself over it. I require WiFi and Bluetooth, and require that it NOT have a camera... and those all are NOT negotiable for me.

Suggest you check out some of the better PDA sites out there for more info and tips..... My personal fave is 'PocketPC Thoughts'... but don't go looking there for Palm info.

Cheers,
