Your needs sound pretty basic so I'd go with the Palm as suggested before. I love the Handspring Visor Edge. Lots of funtionality, and extremely thin. They're discontinued now, but you may find one on ebay. The Handspring products are a little better than the Palm products IMHO, in terms of features.

One serious weakness in the palm/handspring line: Some offer a memory slot for compact or SD cards, but in order to put something onto the card, or use something on the card, it must be downloaded into internal memory first. As a result, the expansion memory is good for little more than backups. You can buy applications and books pre-loaded on the SD modules, but this is a limited benifit for me.

For more money the Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 is fantastic, and there are web sites out there that support it via freeware and shareware, but I found that the Compaq 3900 was best for me. The brightest and largest color screen for the money, and lots of products and accessories out there for it. I have 256mb of memory on a SD card that is directly accessible from both the PDA and from the pc when it's connected. pretty sweet.
