At the risk of having you all do what Cam did and stare at me seriously and then ask "Alright, what have you done with the real Sophie?", I'm thinking of buying a pda, probably this one. But since I've never owned one before, and Cam just had a dodgy Palm ages ago, do any of you past-or-present pda purchasers have any advice?
It's mainly to hold text files with all the procedures for work (since there's a lot, many of which aren't written down anywhere and change constantly), lists of things to buy and do, contact details, bus and train timetables, and writing down my Brilliant Ideas as I have them. I'd have gone for this one but you can't organise your files into folders, and labelling them into categories just isn't the same. Also, no downloading things off the internet, where's the fun in that?
And now, work.

HP PDA
Just a warning. My current employer just bought 20 hp hx2490b pda's. After they had bought them and given them to IT to test we found out they had a problem, that when the sd card was put in the slot the pda's would not power up and the battery would drain quickly. HP have a hotfix out for the problem but I would advise asking about it when you buy the PDA, because some of the newer models have the hotfix already installed. Apparently it is caused by Windows Mobile 5.0 and affects a wide range of PDA's, just not HP's. Besides that little glitch the HP PDA's have been very easy to use and reliable.
