IANAP but I recently bought a Palm Tungsten C (one of the only ones they
ever made w/a full keypad, plus 802.11 B and a 600x600 color screen as
well!) and, paired with DateBk6
(http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/datebk6.htm&ei=-AOMS8-FD4nkswPnvPmEAw&sa=X&oi=smap&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&ved=0CAgQqwMoADAA&usg=AFQjCNGPUk0auQaRBwInZ0eKnfDxwsBZKQ
) I am one happy camper. I know, I know, Palm is old school, but that's
what I wanted actually. I've always had a Palm, so I'm very used to it -
and I've heard it's pretty easy to program for.


Cheers,
Jordan
