good, cheap pda/palm pilot/whatever can help me keep organized?

[nodoubtt]

I was thinking of getting an iphone and using the icalendar on it which is pretty nice, but probably wont be for a while. What's something thats really good for helping me keep on top of things?
ex: people I have to meet with, phone numbers i gotta make, chores, things that I need to do on a weekly/daily/monthly basis, random notes that i can make.

main thing for me is being able to input things in there quick

and also, preferably looking for something as cheap as possible

any suggestions?

thanks guys!

you could probally pick up a Palm Zire 72 I think on ebay for 50 bucks, its got all that info only down side is that it has no external memory support.

have been a palm user for years
used zire 71 then tungsten t3 then tungsten t5 then palm lifedrive

basically palm developers have slowed down developing softwares but if you ask me, they practically has everything they got. i could you give you a gmail where you can download registered software

have used PocketPC for a while too and then i gave up using PDAs. they restart just too often(eg. few times a week)

if you really need a cheap palm for really basic stuff like jotting down notes and reading documents/ storing phone numbers, prob you can go for zire 71. it even comes with a camera and has excellent battery life. i sold mine at $110 cad 3 yrs back.

so it should be dirt cheap now. but basically nowadays phones work like pdas so maybe you should consider that.

Tungsten T3 looks pretty professional and has extended screen display and plays video and music pretty well. its pretty sturdy as compared to zire 71.

if you are looking for pda that serves as GPS systems, prob an IPAQ will help. cheers
