It's easy to get all emotional and forget hard core facts when making any purchase, that's nothing I would recommend you to do when buying your PDA. What you should do is go look for reviews, written by someone that doesn't endorse every single model for his/her own profit.
Don't let some sales pitch mislead you into thinking you need more features than you are ready to pay for, its so common people do get caught up in the tech race with friends. Don't lose focus and end up paying for features not needed.
ever need. That is exactly what happens when people lose focus on what they are after and let some sales pitch mislead them into thinking they need more features than necessary.
Sometimes an older model that doesn't have all the bells and whistles can be more than enough, and often are. The standalone PDA successor is losing market in favor for smartphones, that combines the pocket computer functionality with cell phone, thus you can transmit voice data over mobile operators communication lines.
Integrating functionality from before standalone devices is great, but it often degrades usability as the size of the device decreases.
So what I want to talk about here is the importance of size. The size of the device have such an impact on usability and is therefore one of the most important device/purpose matching aspect you will make when purchasing your PDA, whether it is an HP iPAQ or Palm will often not make as much of a difference.
One area of usage often involves taking notes, this make the size aspect very important. If the device is to small you really can't expect the screen to be large. You'll want to look at things like screen size and the quality of inking functionality when you are going to use the PDA for taking notes. HP iPAQ 211 is a standalone PDA with excellent qualities for this purpose, read the review below.
