Dell Axim X3 (300 MHz) Pocket PC

Pros: Economical. Simple. Rugged. Beautiful.
Cons: Sluggish when multi-tasking more than 5 programs.

I've become a veteran of PDA's over the years, ever since I first bought a Palm m100 back at the turn of the century (I love saying that). This was my first PocketPC-based device, and I must say I'm not likely to move back to the PalmOS market anytime ...

Pros: Price, speed, lots of accessories and extra hardware out there, very easy to learn, Wi-Fi

Pros: I loved my AXIM pda while it worked. However it failed after 1 year.

Pros: Fast and has good memory. Scalable with expandable slots.
Cons: Does not have wi-fi support.

This PDA has everything that will get you going with a no PC at hand situation. A good memory and a fast processor offerring makes it at par with some of the high end models available today. It has expandable slots for bluetooth and wireless lan. In that way it is quite scalable. It has built in speaker and voice recorder too. The best thing about this deal was that I could buy it with a 20% discount coupon and effectively paid $240. Great bargain for this PDA anyday.
