Here’s what we can say of Buy.com’s “best PDA deals”: They sure are good in hyping it up.

Ok for those of you that have say, oh $750 or thereabouts in loose change to spend; plus you are a big fan of GPS or just a disaster with maps and locations … have a look at the BargainPDA.com’s first thoughts of Garmin’s spankin’ new iQue M5 GPS PDA (what a mouthful) running on [...]

About 314,000 PDAs and other handheld devices are left behind in cabs worldwide every 6 months. That’s over 7 units every hour of the day. What the … well, we are guilty of that too. Only it was in the bus … good grief: That means there are MORE everywhere else, other than cabs!

Taiwanese 2-in-1 PDAphones lovers rejoice, for they now have an additional Windows Mobile Phone Edition hardware to lay their hands on: The ETEN M500.

Looks real good, but lacks WiFi and a built-in keyboard - something that’s consistently left out of small PDAphone models. It’s not a deal-breaker for us … so long as they have [...]

We’ve always wanted the Sidekick II, but T-Mo doesn’t have service in these parts.

So boo-hoo for us when Amazon comes up with a free Sidekick II offer (with service plan) … Hold on: After combined $50.00 T-Mobile and $150.00 Amazon rebates, you actually get paid an extra $25.01 - to buy the thing.
