For all you 3rd years out there - Part of our
requirements for 2nd year include a PDA.
I've talked to a few upperclassmen at our
school and the universal recommendation
is a PDA/Phone unit.

Anyone have recommendations about
PDA standalaone vs PDA/Phone? Also,
any recommendations in terms of capabilities,
etc. that you wish you had purchased?

Just gathering info. I'm not a 'wow, look at
the new tech toy' type. I had to be forced
into getting a computer in my home in the 90s
and am not a gadget freak, just get me the gear
to get the job done.....

Obviously not a 3rd year, but I have used PDAs for business for years. I had been a dedicated Palm OS guy, but the recent Microsoft platform stuff has pulled ahead IMO. I am currently using a Samsung Blackjack which comes with Windows Mobile 5.0. If has a SD micro slot that will accept 2GB cards and will link to a PC via a high speed USB port. I've been pleased with it and there is even a scaled down version of the office suite that can be utilized so you can handle excel, ppt, etc along with whatever med specific downloads you want to carry.
