gOOters December 5, 2004 Share gOOters Member December 5, 2004 This is going to be for my father-in-law. Honestly, he just likes gadgets and we are looking for something that will sufficiently appease his inane gravitation toward all things technical. It doesnt really need to have any special features beyond the basic PDA stuff. Any suggestions for a qulity PDA priced at $200 or preferably under?

Ak2786 December 5, 2004 Share Ak2786 Member December 5, 2004 Definately get a palm tungsten-e if you can spend $200, I have one and its great. If you dont think he needs a color display and just want the most basic pda then just get a palm zire for like $100, but I would recomend going with palm.

appalachian_fox December 6, 2004 Share appalachian_fox Member December 6, 2004 Yeah, the Palms are solid. I heard the Handsprings were invented by some of the original PalmOS people, and the few I've seen are also nice, but I have to agree that Palms are king of the sub-$200 arena. I think Dell has some Axims at $200, but I wouldn't bother unless you're starting at, say, $300, and can get wireless, Windows Mobile 2003 SE, and features like that.

Batman December 11, 2004 Share Batman Member December 11, 2004 Can you surf the internet on a PDA?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appalachian_fox December 12, 2004 Share appalachian_fox Member December 12, 2004 Depends on the PDA. They range from the, like, $10 mini-organizer that just does dates and phone numbers to the $800 phone/color PDA/802.11b/bluetooth/etc. ad nauseum uber PDAs. Roughly $200 eBay or $300 new gets you a wireless Dell Axim with internet and Outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
