i use the Sony Clie 760. I got it off e-bay, so it was only abo. $200. I like the full color, high resolution display and the mp3 playback. I used to have a Palm IIIxe, but half the screen went blank. I opened it up and found the loose connection, and with my finger pushing down it would work, but when we tried to re-sodder it (without taking out the batteries [OOPS!]) it stopped working altogether.
The inside of a palm, esp. the older ones, has very little electronics inside, just 4 or 5 chips and the display. If you have a broken one, go ahead and open it up and poke around. Feel free to tell me how it goes or if you want help (aaronj@www.com).

Just make sure it's off and not powered before you try anything...
