The Sharp Zarus SL-5500 was probably my fav - I got a new one via e-bay about 18 months back & had it delivered to Ashton who for the effort of forwarding it to me in HK when I was there, got to play with it.

Unfortunately the SD card slot stopped working within 3 months despite the fact that I hardly even touched the thing. It has a CF slot & that works fine. I have been thinking about getting it fixed but I have to return it to US :-(

It ran a Linksys Wi-Fi card simply by plugging it in & the configuration was a delight (compared to the appaling mess that iPaq's Win2002 is for configuring network devices & modems. The iPaq looks nice but the Zaurus screen is so crisp & like you say the keyboard is niffty & pleasant to use.

The Opera browser on the Zaurus was much nicer than the limited feat IPaq one & better than anything I could get on my PALM PDAs.

That new Zaurus des look like it would give new meaning to the browsing experience on PDAs.

Cheers
