I have a Treo 700P with Telus - I would have a Blackberry Pearl if I was with Rogers. I don't use the 'net or email with it, just the other stuff.
Look at Ebay - bought mine there, one week old, half price no tax!
I can listen to music (mp3 only), play mindless games like solitaire, read books (download them off the 'net) and keep track of all the nonsense I need to remember, as well as editing written stuff. I have a Mac (nyaa nyaa) so I chose the Palm software, not the Windows (yuk phooey).

palm treo 700 wx. I used to use a 650 but I like the windows version better as it includes the mobile version of office and I like the mail client better. The only crappy thing is it doesn't sync with my shitty Mac.
I'm pretty happy with my Palm T5. I especially like that the screen on it is big enough to watch a downloaded tv show or movie while waiting for the ambulance.
I'm kicking it old school with a Palm M125. I used to have a T3, but to be honest the battery life on the T3 sucks. The M125 battey lasts weeks (on 2 AAA's) all i use is progam "Co-Pilot" though.
I've got a Treo 650. Love it. I use the mobile excel and word for all sorts of stuff. I figured out how to get push email through my gmail. watch downloaded TV and movies, and listen to music. It's great.
Had 3 palms, broke 2 had 1 stolen. Use my puny little cromagnon brain. I used to know every number off by heart now that my cell remembers them, I'm screwed when it goes missing or breaks
I use a Sony-Erikson computer phone that a friend gave me. I have a pre-paid data sim card. Best system available. Too bad you cannot get this in Canada.

Success in life is when the cognac that you drink is older than the women you drink it with.
Palm T3, the best ever PDA that Palm put out. You can upgrade the battery with relative ease, which is what I did, used to watch movies on it, play games, listen to music, run excel and word and occasionally organize my life
I got a cheapo Palm Vx off ebay for around $20.
Downloaded Co-Pilot free from the net (excellent program) and can do all flight planning, addresses, expenses, play froggy and get a wake up alarm.
Have seen new, fancier Palms, but won't get much of an advantage unless you need on the go email or colors to show your buddies the latest pics.
