Are you confused about what kind of PDA or smartphone to get? Help is here.
 
PDAs are Powerful
You know, a PDA is a powerful productivity tool. Smartphones are even more powerful. Wouldn't it be nice if there were a one size fits all model that worked well for everyone? Fortunately or unfortunately, there is not. And I'm glad of that.

Where can you buy a PDA?

Half the battle in getting a mobile device is determining where to buy it. If you want a smartphone, you will generally have to select a phone carrier first and then look at their available models. Each carrier has a different mix of products. When selecting a phone carrier, consider total cost of the service, coverage area, signal strength and other factors.
 
If you need a PDA that is not a smartphone, you can visit one of many retailers in your local area. Generally, any retailer that carries consumer electronics should have PDAs and they may also have a partner relationship with a phone carrier.
 
You'll want to consider their consumer policies for return of the product if there's a problem. Also consider their overall service. Ask around for feedback from your friends and family.
 
Retail Stores
CompUSA
Circuit City
Best Buy
 
You'll also want to consider the option to purchase products online. You can often find better prices online. But again, consider the companies return policy. You can even find new or refurbished units on eBay. But again, buyer beware. If you have a problem, you might be on your own.

Which is the best PDA to purchase?
I get a lot of questions from people who want to know what the best PDA is for them. It's not something I can tell you based a short email or even a quick conversation. For this reason, I have created the PDA Selection Consultation & Training Program. It really gives me a good opportunity to work with you and identify your work style and how you will be using your PDA or smartphone. It includes one-on-one coaching sessions, group training and coaching, an assessment and written materials. If you're not sure which PDA or smartphone is the best choice for you, consider this program. Learn More

Final Advice
As a final word on the topic, choosing a PDA or smartphone is a personal decision. I'm the first to admit that a PDA is not for everyone. If you are technologically challenged, you might be better off with a paper planner. but, I do believe that everyone can learn and improve their technology skills. That's one of the reasons I launched my company. I saw normal people struggling with technology and wanted to find a way to help them learn to use technology more effectively.
