Though you honestly have to love the touch screen...plus the internet is free on PDA's, while with blackberries it costs about $100 a month... -------------------- Jeffrey Toro Life is like taking a ride on the road.

It was practical to have two devices in one for me. You can pick up a older used Blackberry for around $50, depending on which feature you need. Never needed more than a phone book and planner so the PDA would have been redundant. I did not know PDA wireless was free? I have Cingular (now AT&T) and only paid $30\mo, for the Cingular BIS feature. I have heard Nextel runs about $50\mo but have not looked into it. -------------------- "2007 & 2008 Windows Shell/User Award"
