Hello to all, i'm at a state of quandary as far as which PDA to buy between the following 6 choices. This will be my first PDA and basically I'm looking for the best all-in-one device under $550. My choices are limited to whats available on Bestbuy.com, they are: PalmOne Lifedrive, PalmOne Zire 72, PalmOne Tungsten T5, Ipaq pocket pc hx2755, Ipaq pocket pc hx2415, and the Navman-Pin GPS pocket pc model AA005600.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Can you give more info on your requirments?

I was just in your position. I narrowed it down to the Ipaq 4705, 2755 or the Lifedrive. Due to a $100 rebate I bought the LD. I was looking for a "do it all" device. Office docs, MP3, PIM, video & photos, wifi etc. The LD appeared/appears to be what I want if I could just get it all to work smoothly without resets or error messages. I've been resetting, reinstalling and talking to Palm1 support constantly. An LD working smoothly would be exactly what I want. As it is PIM, photos and docs all work great. Can't get the Versamail to sync, haven't even tried Wifi or MP3.

The benefit of the Palm OS is that it is synced with your desktop so reinstalling after a crash is fairly simple.

I am getting frustrated with the bugs on the LD tho and wondering if I should have gotten the Ipaq.
