Need to get a PDA to combat my increasing disorganisation.

Any recommendations

I think my Palm Tungsten T is wicked - has bluetooth so I can write all my txts on that rather than messing about with the crappy phone keyboard.

Very easy synching with a PC, loads of software, etc, etc.

Think there's a Tungsten T3 now with a better screen and more memory.

is the synching via blue tooth - cause I'll have to get a dongle if so.

You can synch via the cradle or bluetooth, or via usb.

BT and USB are extras, and the cradle and USB will also act as chargers.

Having just conducted a detailed evaluation of handheld devices and implemented a solution for the sizeable company who keep me in 5.10's I can officially confirm that for organisation the Palm devices are streets ahead of ipaq's.

Ipaq's are more flaky, harder to input text and as they run microsoft software they need resetting all the time.

So what solution did you implement and how much are we talking.

Palm  T3 as Bubba suggests.
