What PDA do you like? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

TheProf · 12-08-2005, 02:58 PM

Hello,

So I've been received several "suggestions" about what a good Christmas gift for my wife would be -- namely, a PDA. There are quite the variety out there I've discovered and while I do have my preferences, I'd like to know what others think. I've only got 2 important guidelines:

1) max price is $250 USD
2) needs to be able to sync up with Lotus Notes for work

Other then that I'm pretty well open. Of course, the more features (BT, wifi, etc, etc) the better, but I don't have any specific idea where to start.

thanks.

Personally I like the Dell Axims. I have an x50v and love it. However, I don't use it that much anymore because of my new PPC-6700 phone that has PDA functionality built into it. Though the cheapest I see from Dell is a Axim x51 416mhz for $318. With only $250 to spend, you aren't going to get a really good PDA.

You might look at Newegg.com or Buy.com for better pricing.

I'm limited to that price range because that's how much her company is willing to reimburse her for a PDA.

Is the concern about it syncing with Lotus one that is easily resolved with specific syncing software?
