Yea, but that's even more expensive.

See, that's the problem.  I want one that I can fiddle with.  I used
to have (actually, just found) the 5500 (I was mistaken in my previous
e-mail).  I really like it, but the battery was horrible.  The problem
is, I'm having trouble justifying the price of the newer Zaurus PDAs. 
I'm sort of fighting myself on the issue of how much I want it because
it would be useful and how much I want it just because of the "cool"
factor.

Hmm...if I could just find the charger for my old zaurus...then I
could use the "cool" factor for that when I want to, but still get
cheap PDA that would actually be useful.
