Hi,
I'm looking for an...inexpensive pocket pc, one maybe someone would let go of for maybe 100-150 Dollars?A little unrealistic, but I know I can find an older ipaq(like a 3765) for around $120 off ebay... I just dont have much to spend on one, but would like to have one, maybe someone is feeling a little generous? Wanting to give to the needy? :D

If you can spend just a _little_ more, say, $200 you could get this HP 1910, which is a very nice PDA.

As for things in the 100-150 price range. I found a few on ebay, just did a simple search in the handheld section. You should be able to find something to suit your needs. BTW, have you looked at Palm devices? (I'm gonna get jumped for saying that :mrgreen: ).

Eh. :mrgreen: I may switch to the Tungsten line in a few months. I can't look at the screens on ipaqs after seeing the T2 screen. T3 with virtual grafiti, :rock on dude!:.

Regardless, does that 1910 look good for ya?

Shop around on ebay and don't limit yourself to PPCs that are located in the US. Do an advanced search and look at all devices available to the US. There are some real bargains around. On the Australian ebay site there are some Jornada 54x and 56x selling for around the the $200 AUS mark. They are older devices but seeing you are just getting started they might be a cheap way to see if the platform suits you.

BTW - I recently used a Palm for a couple of weeks (while I was between iPAQs) and while it worked it's nearly as much fun to play with (no decent games, annoying input, no MP3, etc).

I used to have a Jornada and they are a great device.
