Hi there,
not netboy here but I been researching about palm's pda cuz wanna get one also. My budget also same like you.
Here is what I can conclude about the PDAs that falls in nicely within the budget.

Sony SJ22 or the new Tungsten|E - both same price (RM788)
SJ22 comes with color, 16MB and only 33MHz processor.
SJ22 is a very capable handheld with a fantastic screen.
But now with Tungsten|E, I'm holding my breath..since the specs are much better in a same price.
But you might want to wait a while if you are getting the Tungsten|E to wait for more reviews about it or for netboy to test it out

Wow TE & TJ25 same price...
wonder which one is more worth it...
How bout TJ35, when is it coming to our shores??

Wow..lots of support for T|E eh
I check the sys spec oso, gotta admit, T|E is much worth it than tj25...
Hrmm, waiting for tj35 now to see how is it.

Got palmIII compatible case?
Anybody has one?

Bout RM788 for a decent pda - Tungsten TE

Basic Functions
The basic function in any Palm PDA is as follows:
* maintaining contact information (addresses etc)
* maintaining schedules / appointments
* keeping notes (small write ups, like MS Reviews)
* keeping a to-do list of movies to watch, books to read etc

Extras
* The ability to read/write MS word documents and MS Excel
* The ability to synchronize with a computer using a cradle
* Games for fun
* And a tons of other s/w for you to dl and use

Urm I mean the functions for any palm PDA & extras is extras...
It is not for Tungsten T alone...

Urm...pda does not refer to one side of device only
Pocket pc is a pda, Palm is also a pda

Certain model of palm & ppc are capable of goin online
Sony's UX50 for palm's os while ipaq has a few models that has built-in wifi

But palm os has greater software support than pocket pc aka ppc. It depends on your need.
Palm os for simplicity, ppc for complexity
