Well-written reviews is what I have always read before making any purchase, and I suggest you do the same prior to making your PDA purchase. People often buy things that they later regret by being in a very emotional state and forget to do their home work first.
Don't forget the purpose of which you were going to buy that handheld device in the first place. If you do, chances are you might end up with a model to small or paying for more features than you'll
ever need. That is exactly what happens when people lose focus on what they are after and let some sales pitch mislead them into thinking they need more features than necessary.
Sometimes an older model that doesn't have all the bells and whistles can be more than enough, and often are. The standalone PDA successor is losing market in favor for smartphones, that combines the pocket computer functionality with cell phone, thus you can transmit voice data over mobile operators communication lines.
Usability is an important perspective to look at in every device. As the size of the gadgets decreases, so does the usability. One engineering challenge is getting a high level usability maintained while making the devices smaller and smaller.
Matching the device to purpose is important, let's say you are going to use your mainly as a Walkman, the importance of the audio quality is much of more importance than the screen and you might be ok to have a screen that is a bit worse if you get good audio.
If screen is of high importance, you should often not buy the smallest device. When e.g taking notes is your main area of usage, screen size and inking functionality is tow aspects you must look closer at. By reading reviews you can find out thing s like this, what weaknesses and strength a particular model have.
