Personally I use an IPAQ 2215, the main reason being it has both CF and SD/MMC slots meaning I can stick a periferal (Wi/Fi, GPS, etc) into one slot and still have the other free, this is handy if (like me) you use GPS as the maps are far to big for internal memory so both slots are required, one for GPS reciever, one for map data.
It is lacking when it comes to connectivity as it doesn't have built in wi/fi but that can be got arround with a CF peripheral or simply using bluetooth. I have never found a need to use a bigger (or second) battery with it, but then I do have a car kit for it and cradels both at home and at work so it is never more than 30 seconds away from power anyway. I also have a great little gadget that cost me about �2.50 to plug it into any usb port and charg it from there. Overall I am very happy with the iPaq. When I purchased mine the cheepest place to get one was one of the traders on eBay but you may be able to find them cheeper elswhere now. -- Jay > -----Original Message----- > From: Sandy Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 03 February 2005 13:30 > To: CF-Community > Subject: I'm so confused > > Its time for me to buy a new PDA. > I currently have an IPAQ 3835.
