It's easy to get all emotional and forget hard core facts when making any purchase, that's nothing I would recommend you to do when buying your PDA. What you should do is go look for reviews, written by someone that doesn't endorse every single model for his/her own profit.
Don't forget the purpose of which you were going to buy that handheld device in the first place. If you do, chances are you might end up with a model to small or paying for more features than you'll
You might even want to take a closer look at some older bestseller. Old in this game means 1 year or something like that so it's not a 10 year old product I'm talking about. You can get away a lot cheaper while the device still fulfill your needs.
Remember this; manufacturers are releasing model after model all the time, even if you feel you want the latest sleek gadget to show off with your friends, it will be old in a few months and you have small chances of running the manufacturers speed in the tech race all the time. That's why an older bestseller might just be better.
Integrating functionality from before standalone devices is great, but it often degrades usability as the size of the device decreases.
While functionality increases per square cm the usability is decreasing, the size is actually one of the most important aspects to look at in a PDA. Size is a cruical aspect to look at on a PDA that can make or break the deal.
