I have a palm T3 and a Nokia 9500 (phone with PDA) a Sony P900 (phone with PDA) and have also tinkered over the years with Psion's (remember them!) and others. The Nokia 9500 is a development if the 9210, which I also still have. Ok I am a gadget freak!! But by a long way, and I mean a very long way the Nokia 9500 is ahead, would very much recommend. Has the computing power of most PDA's, is expandable, has bluetooth, connects to wireless networks and has a 56k modem for your lap top, also boasts a proper QWERTY keyboard and a windows type interface including a word/excel etc programs. It really is the dogs testicles and makes some of the others look very silly indeed. It's above the budget you state if you buy 'off contract' but ebay might be worth a look or ask your mobile service provider how much they would charge for an upgrade to one. Some service providers will give it to you for free if you're a high call user.
