My head is about to explode, need pda shopping guidance, NOW

Oct 7, 2004 11:34AM PDT

I'm looking to buying a new PDA that runs on any Pocket Windows OS (most likely 2003 2ndE or SE). Can anyone pitch in some suggestions that match this minimum criteria? :

-WiFi + BlueTooth
-SD Expansion Slot
-Already comes w/WMP (capable of playing mp3 & movie files right off the bat, w/o too many conversions)
-$310 or less

Any, and I mean ANY feedback would be really appreciated Happy

Just in time too!

I was in your position when I wanted a PDA with WiFi and Bluetooth for a consumer price (under $350)

I went with the HP iPaq rx3115. I purchased it at newegg.com for $320 + $5 shipping. Which cost less than some other online retailer that sells it for $301 + $25.

Also newegg they give you a free hat (no extra shipping $).

I also bought a 512MB SD card.

All in all, with a "RUSH" shipping, It cost me less than $370.

Yes, No taxes!

A short specs of the HP iPaq rx3115
300MHz
64RAM (~56 Usable)
Retails at $350
Can control TV (Nevo), view multimedia (video, music). Up to 9 hours battery.
Comes with ~900mAh Replaceable battery. Can be upgraded up to an extended battery of 2880mAh. Which is about up to 27 hours nonstop.
