I think the subject says it all, but does anyone have a relatively cheap (under $200, preferably?) PDA that is compatible with isync and also supports/has built-in bluetooth?

Look for a used Tungsten | T (first edition) or a Sony Clie TG-50.

I'm using a Sony Clie T615C and Blutooth MS with my iMac, and it works great.

I can sync it via either bluetooth, or the cradle, and also use the BT on my SE T610 to act as a GPRS modem for it.

It means that while I'm living away at the moement I can surf and check emails via my T610, and then sync via BT when I get back at weekends.

I leave my cradle at my rented house to charge the Clie, as I only really use it while there.

you can always get a cheap palm that supports this.

the price is up there at palmone.com but eBay has them for about $50.

It's not exactly a PDA, but you can get a Nokia 3650 for free from Amazon.com when you sign up for T-Mobile service. Free is pretty cheap.

I have the phone, while it is big for a phone these days (but normal for a phone 3 years ago), it's also feature-full, and will sync contacts and calendar over bluetooth. And it has a camera. And it runs web browsers. And it runs RealPlayer, which I use to listen to far-away radio stations.

A note on the 3650...

It works beautifully with isync (in panther)..

Perfect if u just want to view your appointments and sync ur address book.

The colors for you various calendars even transfer over to the 3650.
