7/25    Tell me what Palm-based PDA I should buy. I've seen the CLIE and it
        looks nice but somehow it seems kinda lame to bother with a memory
        stick slot, and the name is a little too reminiscent of "CLIT".
        \_ if you got the money, get the Treo.  It's a PDA plus Cell-phone.
           I found the fact that integrated phonebook is very nice.
           Being able to get on to the net is kind of nice too, though
           it's a pain to do so at this point.
           If you don't want a PDA/phone combo, stick with a color CLIE.
           CLIE has best screen (higher resolution), and the memory stick
           thingy, believe or not, is actually kind of nice, especially
           consider that PDA usually become a pocket reference of some
           sort (either a dictionary for FOB like me, or map, etc). More
           memory the marrier.
           \_ if you wanna use cingular
                \_ Can't you also use "T Mobile" or whatever the hell
                        VoiceStream is now?
                   \_ T Mobile uses Cingular network in the Bay Area.
        \_ it depends on your needs.  if you want a smartphone, an alternative
           to the Treo is the Kyocera 7135 (available in a few months).  If
           you don't mind a brick and a monochrome screen, the Kyocera 6035
           smartphone is really cheap.  ARM-based OS 5 devices will be out by
           the end of the year, but those will be relatively expensive. (It
           may still be worthwhile to wait for them, though, as they likely
           will push down the prices of existing PDAs.) --jameslin
