...the obvious choice to me would be getting one on Ebay. I'd suggest a 8MB, maybe 16MB, and get a color screen if you relly need it. I have a M505, but I'd suggest an M130, as the M505 has hotsync problems. If color isn't your thing, the Vx is a awesome choice, if you can find one in good condition.
I'm a college student looking for a handheld or PDA for to do lists, scheduling etc.. The basics. Anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate it.
