Wants vs. Needs: Do I really need a pocket PC?

Refurbished units by be your best paid. You can pay probably up to $300 less for something because someone else returned it because they didn't like it. As I am perpetually on a budget most of my big tag items are either open boxes or refurbs. I have never had a problem and most refurbs still have the warranty in effect anyway. The refurb. label just usually means restocked and unable to be sold as new. If there is any damage to an item it is generally cosmetic. And for a large reduction in price I am not the picky about little surface blemishes. Good places to check for your pocket pc would be Hp.com's refurbished section, Nextag.com or Bizrate.com There are also good deals on cellphone pdas on the various cellphone provider sites. At&T is selling the old model HTCs for greatly reduced prices. I imagine they will come down even more now that the newer version is out.
