Well, my Maestro battery has finally gone bad....
What Pocket PC is good for around $250?

Currently, the best bang for the buck I can see is the Axim X30.
With battery life being the biggest negative (at least it's
user replaceable!)

I've been using the CF slot on the Maestro for WIFI... so I'd get
the X30 with WIFI, to eliminate my need for the CF slot.

Any other suggestions?

I chose my Ipaq 2215 mainly because it has both the CF and SD slots, as well
as built-in bluetooth. Been pretty happy with it so far. Paid around $260 on
Ebay last Xmas, so probably cheaper now. Whatever you get, there will ALWAYS
be something better/smaller/cheaper next week, so just pick one that does
what you need and live with it for a while!!

Why would battery life be a negative? I have an Axim X5, it gets 8
hours of battery life, 7 1/2 hours more than my HP 548 did.

Your choices are simpler than ever actually as Sony and a
few others have stopped production, in part due to the
expected increasingly popular smart phones. YOur choices
if you still like MS PC are either Dell (Website) or HP.
3rd choice would be Palm, if you like their operating
system. EZ as that. Don't overbuy, not worth it.

Enjoy the new toy.
