Cheapskate wants a PPC

Greets. I've had a PalmIIIe for a couple years now, and it's beat up enough that pretty soon I'll have to get a new pda. The problem is that I'm broke like a mother (otherwise I would have picked up an Axim). I know I could snag an M105 in decent shape for probably 60-70 bucks somewhere, but I'd sure love to go the PPC route if I could do it in a similar price range.

You guys have a better feel than me as to how realistic this is, so I could use advice on that. Also, other than the kinda standard places like ebay, half.com, or amazon... where would be good places to look? Are there things like used ppc trading forums anywhere?

Since I've been using a greyscale 2mb brick for two years, I'm obviously willing to settle for a reduced feature set or an older device.

Anyway, just looking for comments. Thanks in advance.

http://pocketpcthoughts.pricegrabber.com is an alright place, so is http://www.mysimon.com

I know someone that picked up a Casio E-125 for $80, which is a really good device, except it's outdated and doesn't run any of the latest software (because it uses a MIPS processor instead of a StrongARM/XScale processor).

Toshiba is looking at releasing a $200 device in not too long. I really doubt you'll find a better deal than that. Maybe you should wait until they release that and save up some of your money.

:arrow: PPC is a good choice !!!

how about begging on the street corner.... :lol:

my toshiba e330 is nice and thin(it only has a SD slot)

and my DELL axim advanced is like a brick, but I don't mind because it feels better(won't be dropped as easy) and has CF as well as SD!!!!

I'm kind of wanting to trade my H3955 in for the H5455. Is there some place that will give me an offer for a trade in? It's completely in 100% perfect condition.

*bursts into song*
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
