Tungsten E vs Dell Axim X30

I'm a med student and am just about to buy a PDA and I mainly want to use it for word and attachments to read in word ie Photos, pictures. I'm really impressed with the Dell- as it is only £150incl vat and delivery and has a full size screen. The only problem is the puny battery life which I estimate is prob. 4 hours. Also another pro, is that the memory is really cheap compared to the Tungsten E.

I looked at a friends Tungsten E the other day and the screen is so damn small. How can anyone read a word doc on it and view an photo attachment in word at the same time. The pro for it would be the battery life- which I am told is days. It is also cheaper than the dell.

Would be interested to hear other users thoughts?

Welcome to our forums.
My own personal opinion is to stick with a PocketPC based device for ease of use and a familiar experience.
