Looking to buy a PDA. Buyer Beware?
Was surfing through eBay looking for phased out models of PDAs. Dell Axims, HP iPaqs, etc. I'm not really sure where to start. I DO know that I'm not a fan of PalmOS. I used to carry PDAs back when they were still spinach-green screens. And I think PalmOS is craptastic. I don't think I'm looking to spend more than $330. So yeah, any ideas? Review sites? Recommendations?
Dell makes one of the best PDAs around. I have the X30 but I wish I saved up for it's bigger brother - http://www.dell.com/content/products...=19&l=en&s=dhs
I have a iPaq rx3115 and I'm VERY happy with it. I got it around Febury after my Toshiba e405's screen randomley stopped funtioning. Got the RX3115 off ebay for $115. I opened every auction available for the it and sent everybody an email asking if they'd end the auction early for $100+shipping. 1 guy accepted and now I have a brand new RX3115. Only bad thing is it didn't come with the box or CD but that wasn't really a problem. If you need WiFi the RX3115 is the least expensive windows mobile device on the market. I use mine for internet, videos, internet radio, music, games, etc. I recommend going to cnet, you can narrow your choices down to the PDA's that fit you budget and your needs.
BTW, I too looked into Dell, the x50 to be specific, it's a great handlheld but it's overpriced, just like any other dell product. The dell would have cost me over twice as much for essentially the exact same features I have with my RX3115, just a screen thats .3" bigger and VGA. Don't get me wrong, VGA is GREAT but not worth paying ver twice as much for.

You can easily get the Axim for around $200-250 if you pay attention to the coupon code deals over at http://www.fatwallet.com
