My Handspring Visor Edge was stolen a few months ago, and I have given up on ever getting it back. I don't have the money to buy another one, but my life is falling apart without an organizer/calendar that I can sync with my computer.

I want to buy a used PDA running the Palm OS for under $100.
I don't care much about any of the other detail. I would preffer that it has a recharageable lithium battery, but I won't be picky.

Why don't you pick up a palm zire, I think they go for $99.00 new. Not the zire 71 which has the camera intergrated but the original.

That's a good suggestion. If you know where to look you can even get one of these for ~$50 shipped (still sealed).

Anyone who has used a Palm for a while would probably be disappointed by a Zire. They're very limited.

Why don't you go to some PDA discussion boards and see what you can find on their marketplace forum?

I could see paying $50 for a Zire, maybe. But never $100. It is too limited. I guess I'll go look around on eBay (even though I hate dealing ith that place).

Would you consider spending slightly more than $100? If so, I have a nice Sony Clie.
