What PDA to get

I'm sure this is a common thread, but can someone please help select a PDA. I don't need one with a phone, I guess the internet wouldn't be bad but I don't mind. I just figured that there is a standard PDA everyone gets and thats what I would like

TIA

Re: What PDA to get

I use a Palm T/X. It has a large internal memory, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capability, a built-in mp3 player with speaker and a large screen. It came loaded with Documents to Go, Blazer wireless internet and a couple of other software packages. I have a variety of Skyscape clinical software packages that I've found to be very useful, and the AACN package tha I've stored on a memory card. I've also got a few games on there, and some fun things like a Christmas organizer that helps me keep track of the gifts I've bought, where I hid them and how much I've spent, who we've gotten cards from and who we sent cards to and a few other things. I quite like my Palm.

Re: What PDA to get

I use a Palm Tungsten T5, which I bought to replace my Tungsten E after I broke it. This time, I also sprung for the hard case--which is so scratched and beaten up that I know it was money well spent.

I like my T5, but the E (or now, the E2) was perfectly adequate, and a lot less expensive. Shoulda got a hard case, though.

Re: What PDA to get

I've done a lot of research, both before and after I got my PDA. The best one I've found is the Palm T/X. You can get pleanty of nursing programs for it, it has expandable memory, and I'm a student, so I type up my notes, put them on my palm and then study wherever I'm at. It has a plethera of programs and the screen is a good size. I highly suggest this if you want a pda

I also did my research and chose the Palm T/X. I don't think you can go wrong with this one. If you have the funds, this is probably the best purchase.

I like the large screen and both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities.
