Could it be love again?

I am in the market for a phone or PDA under $400 (or less) that can surf and do email well with a windows OS so it can sync with my MS apps. So far, I have been very happy with my Acer TravelMate C111TCi and my Sierra Wireless 750 with T-Mobile when traveling. I looked and looked and looked, and I ended up on a the Acer site again (surprise). Has anyone tried an Acer N50 PDA with GPRS PC Card?

I think I am in love with it. It isn't available in the US but don't let that stop me. I am primarily interested in a road-warrior PDA with phone cababilities with power features rather than frills.

Any clues? Something will have to be very catchy to make me part with my current Tablet, even for a few hours per day... :)

Asus has some decent models:

the 2nd one is "slightly" over $400, but it's hott

I have seen these...That T-Mobile thing Erin posted looks very sweet to me right now.

This looks like it could be a winner (though slightly above your price range):

Sprint's EVDO (faster than GPRS and EDGE) coverage isn't as large as Verizon's - but there is WiFi on this phone too, so you can jump on a open hotspot for connectivity.

way too expensive for my budget and plus I have T-Mobile and ain't gonna switch.
