Based on the title, I'm thinking you can guess what this is about....

I was really hoping that after the Christmas holiday that there would be at least a little bit of a price break on new pdas. I have just been (seemingly) all over the net, and haven't found any good deals, which has me kinda depressed. I came very close to just biting the bullet and buying the T|T3 on Overstock today as a holiday present to myself...but they're sold out!

It's rather evident to me that I need to get rid of my T615c. Beyond the fact that I'm running OS4.1 (eek!), her memory is maxed out, so I can't put any more apps on her. And much to my frustration, the stylus still occassionally gets stuck in the silo, forcing me to have to open up the case and free it. Tres sad...

I'm thinking more and more that I'd like to stay with the PalmOS. I base this on the fact that I've never heard anything outstanding about the PPC other than they figured out how to build units with both BT and Wi-Fi, and I've played with them a bit in the store and... it strikes me that I'd be making the same Mac to PC switch I made in the early 90's and was never totally psyched about (if that makes sense as an analogy).

What I Want (and It's Not Alot)

I'd love a unit that has both BT and Wi-Fi, but I'm hep for BT so I can pair it with my phone and surf via GPRS. I'd dig having Wi-Fi but the only place I'll use it will be my office and it strikes me that that isn't that much of a necessity.

I want to stay well below the $300 mark. All told, I'll sell my Clie with accessories and all for about $150 or so, so I think my $250ish range is a responsible one. If I could get something for $200, I'd be a happy girl.

What I really need is more memory, more memory, more memory. Show me da memory! And give me processor speed...or give me death (oh wait, just give me processor speed).

That's it. That's all I want. Sounds like the T3 is where I'm going, no? I've looked at the Zire 72s, and they seem ok too, but I'm also open to suggestions.

Sale prices, advice, and bargain pointers welcome.
