My axim is broke, not worth fixing. Yet I really depend on a pda for the alarms, contacts mobipocket reader etc. Affordability is more important to me than the cpu speed, or wifi; does anyone know of a decent windows pda that doesn't cost an arm, and a leg?
PS i've tried palm before (the os is shakey at best)
Good day!

In my experience the sturdiest Windows Mobile PDA -EVER- is the HP HX4700 (also called the 4705). The strongest metal case known to man. I'm stroking mine now. Mmmmmmmm….. Anyway - HP stopped making them a while back - so look on eBay and you might find a bargain. Failing that - the Acer N311 is the next best thing - and BOY are they cheap. Both have VGA (640×480) screens - so they're ULTRA readable. Good luck!
