I know that FH would like a PDA for his birthday next month, but really don't know what to get. Is there a website or something that will allow me to specify what features I want and then tell me what has those? (lol, like a zappos for electronics? ). Or does anyone have any reccs on decent ones that aren't too expensive (I'm looking at spending around $200)?
pretty much just a decent one, although I asked him what features he would like if he got one and he said color, compatable with the weight wathcers program (it downloads from their site), and capable of memory upgrade.
Ok the bf checked at work and basically the sales guy couldn't recommend anything under $250. He said the ones that he carried (at Circuit City) just weren't worth the money you were paying if you went under $200. The 2 he recommended which you may be able to find cheaper online were:
Palm Zier 72 (sp??) which is $300
and
Palm E2 which is $250.
I may have the models wrong so I can check again if you have problems. If you have specific questions just PM Retro and he can tell you exactly what the guy said to him.
thanks! I was actually looking at the E2 a little and from what I could tell it looked good, so I think I'm going to go with that. I also found it for a bit cheaper ($199 on the palm website, I think its being discontinued) and on ebay (don't know if I'm brave enough to do that for a gift thuough...)
If your guy also carries a cellphone, I highly recommend a Treo 600. It's a full Palm, with camera, and a full phone. It's a little more expensive than a Zire, but if he can trade in his cell phone it's a great machine and a great deal.
