chrisvenusAnother of my speculative purchase type posts where I ask for opinions on what I should buy.
This time we're on PDAs. I know very little about the PDA market at all. I know that you get these neat little computer things that you can slip into your pocket and that you can run lots of cool stuff on (though probably not everything you want).
Requirements are very loose (ie I'm happy for you to tell me they are wrong) but here they are:
Windows based - I'm a windows person so I figure that being able to load up my word docs and anything else would be good. Also I'm more used to the UI, etc. etc. etc.
Bluetooth - I have bluetooth phone and bluetooth laptop and bluetooth handsfree kit and so it makes sense to me to get a bluetoothy PDA so I can do mobile internet things on it.
Wireless - Wireless for when I'm in a wireless type place seems sensible. No idea abotu what they are capable of along these lines (ie B or G, what levels of security they do, etc.)
Relatively sturdy - the theory is that it will sit in my pocket, probably with keys, phone, wallet, etc. so not being fragile is a good thing.
I'm really not sure what else. Mp3 playing capability possibly. My current phone is the only portable mp3 thing I have so if a PDA did it then it would save me from having to try to find another phone that did it (or buying a proper mp3 thing though I am considering that too).
So any reccomendations for features that I should have or for specific models that are good?
