decent price... but it's still WM5 and we don't know how their support is regarding bug fixes and upgrades.
I'd feel more comfortable with an HTC device. At least there's a bunch of developers hacking away at it

If I want an older device, I'd get the same thing that was stolen from me by kids on the street in Bucharest. A Dell Axim X51v. They don't make it anymore but you can snag one for $200.
It's only WM5, but it's 640x480, 802.11b, Bluetooth, and has infrared with a good 20 foot range - I used it as a universal remote for all my home theatre equipment.
Plus it has it's own video / GPU, great for games on long flights!
But alas, I have it no more and with the exception of one new iPAQ, you can't even find a decent, readily available VGA PDA or smartphone and with a CPU of at least 600MHz.
