Im looking to get a PDA for taking notes and general calendar organization. I do not know anything about them at all so im wondering which is the best for around $200. It needs to have color and the ability to interact with a computer and also games would be good too but not necessary. Anyone know a good one for about that price or know of a coupon deal that would be good?
I have a palm 515 which is excellent. I think office depot have a good deal, try the forum below,

Are you going to synch with a PC or a Mac?
I can only speak from PC experience. So here are my thoughts and quickpicks:
Dell Axim 5 for $199. very nice color screen, and has CF I/II slot and SD/MMC slot. Nice expandability. You can read more about it there.
That's my $200 PPC pick.
Now for My Palm OS $200 pick:
SonyStyle clearance center
I would recommend that T615C. The only thing wrong with it is the buttons are awkward, so that might interfere with game playing.
Color comes with a price, and I would suggest staying away from Palm brand color PDAs, because their resolution is only 160x160 (except the new Tungsten), and the Sony PDAs are 320x320 or better ;)
I'll leave you with a couple of more links to explain Palm OS and Pocket PC, because that is always a hot topic like Intel vs. AMD :) LOL
A great article about PocketPC 2002 features
PalmSource's Palm OS feature listing
And once you have narrowed your search down to some models, then read some reviews on them :)
Good Luck!
