    I'm sure there are a ton of PDA guys on here. I find myself scouring craigslists daily for cool electronic toys to buy and trade.

    Just wondering what your favorite PDA is or other cool handheld gadget you own is. I like to collect the old stuff too. My vintage collection of handhelds consist of Atari Lynx, some old Treo's and a Sony Magic Link! Been looking for an old Turbo Graphix handheld. The PSP is a great little unit too.

    Sony Magic Link. I still have it and it works great. I'd love to find some better software for it.

    Neat little computer. OS really holds it up though. Trying to hack linux onto it to make it useful

    Too bad I have Sprint! I haven't seen the size of them but on the commercial it looks awesome!

    currently upgrading the RAM in my Axim x50v to 128MB. iPhone is cool but can't replace a PDA (or can it??)

    it's been 2 days since i got out of sprint, and i have not been happier. i just picked up the blackberry pearl, it's a little difficult to get used to at first, but definitely fun.

    Now that I got the iphone I can't imagine going back to a pda. Unless you really need the apps. I always found them worthless for web browsing. I have a HP travel companion with the built in tomtom. I use it for the gps and that's about it. I fail to understand how microsoft goes from WM2003 to WM5 to WM6 and has still yet to improve the interface any. I guess it depends on what your going to use if for. I guess I just like gadgets.

    I have a Palm TX that I keep organized with. I use it to watch movies on plane flights, listen to MP3s while working out and then it keeps my schedules, contacts, etc. I can also log into wifi networks to check email and browse the Internet. It's my swiss army handheld. It does it all.

    I currently have a 30GB ipod video, I know it's old tech now but I'm enjoying it.

    LG is coming out with an iphone touch screen clone called the SHINE. Let's see if Sprint adapts it to their network.

    I love the Sony W810i. It's like an early iPhone.

    I am not a computer/teckie guy but I will confess I am amazed by the Iphone. Nothing comes close. It is a video Ipod, cell phone, camera and laptop all in one. I highly recommend it.

    I've been reading the reviews on phonescoop.com and they're very mixed about the iphone. The main complaint is that the service is slow and sometimes it's hard to hear what people are saying.
