I am debating between the T-3 and T-5. What would you pick and why? I have never owned a PDA before. Thanks!

Skip the T5. A total waste of money, if you ask me. The 400 dollar price tag is WAY to steep for a device that doenst even have Wi-Fi. Seriously, take a look at the Dell Axim x30 high. Also look at the next step down from that. Both have bluetooth and wifi, along with a price tag in the ballpark of 250-300.

The T5 is available on the web for around $330, and if you need wifi, it's very worth it. If you don't, I'd consider the E ($199 LIST) and a 512 MB memory card

What about for the fact that it has flash memory so I don't lose everything when the battery goes dead? Does WI-FI make that big of a difference?

I chose to get the T5, one of the features I liked was the flash memory as well as the generous 256MB of storage. The no Wi-Fi issue isn't a big deal for me, I don't really have an urgency to have internet access while at a coffee shop or some other place... too busy with school right now anyways. I can always buy a Wi-Fi card later on!
