Hey folks. I'm looking for a really simple PDA. I was looking at some of the older Palm's and the Handspring Visors. The Visors look pretty neat because you can get modules for playing MP3's and a cell phone - 2 things that would be nice.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Seeing how he is looking at Palms, Im guessing sub $200
Otherwise I was going to suggest the HP 1945 iPaq

I did a little research. The Visor Prisim looks pretty sweet, and so do the Treo's. I'm interested in one that I can use as a phone as well. I don't mind last years model (or even 2 years old) because i'm mostly after the calender, phone book, IM/SMS, and GMS ability.
The HP looks really nice, but a little out of my range.

I thought about the phone thing for awhile, and decided that even teh smallest PDA can be a bitch to carry AT ALL TIMES, so i got one with blue tooth, that can dial my phone for me, but I still have a separate phone that is small enough to carry EVERYWHERE.

The visor is kinda old, but handles simple stuff really well. The older palms like the visor are great, simple, black and white screens, but the batteries last a long damn time. Pocket-PC based ones are nice, color screens and all, enough power to do nintendo emulation and play MP3s and all, but they need to be recharged almost every day. Plus they cost more. Just depends what ya wanna do with it.
