I always carry around a small lump of wood and a chisel, its most handy for jotting down email addresses etc and fits neatly into my pocket.
Everything the modern man needs

I have the new Samsung ACE. It is very nice and easy to use. Sprint offers $99.99 for unlimited everything. Not a bad deal if you use the PDA like I do.

What doe's a pda do ? Isn't it just a fancy cell phone?

It is like a computer that is no bigger then a cell phone. It has Windows 6.0 Mobile which is really just like windows on your home computer. You can email, text, get files like .pdf etc. Great for business on the fly. You can get on the web and it has a keyboard to type, all be it small.

This is what I have:

Here's an example of what would happen to me.

A lesson to be learned from typing the wrongemail address!
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel. There was acomputer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived Date: October 16, 2005
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I've seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then!
Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P.S.
Sure is freaking hot down here!

There is one called Mogal by HTC that uses a stylus. It is for the big finger folks.

My co-worker has this. It is very nice PDA. Touch screen.

What I hate about mine is you look like you are talking into your calculator when using the cell phone.
