This was originally accidentially posted in "Roll Call" by mistake - I had a whole heap of tabs open and thinking one was redundant, closed it and used the wrong one to post. Had I not been tired and busy with other stuff, I would probably have spotted the mistake.

I am beginning to get really annoyed with my Palm T|E, and am certainly not going to get another palm, now that they made the most stupid move ever of going to Windows Mobile.

That aside, I want a Linux PDA. I have decided to go with a Zaurus. I really want a 6000, but they are so hard to get. So I decided to go with a Zaurus. I then thought about the 5500, but I hear it has really poor battery life, and the 5600 is recommended instead - it's apparently more stable and more "finished", and faster, as well as having double to triple the battery life. Do any of you have a zaurus? Are you all happy with them?

The problem is, there are only 5500s on eBay at the moment. I haven't seen a single 5600 in the last month. Do any of you want to sell one?

I'd really love one to be able to have ethereal, nmap and all those tools in my pocket. My 12" Powerbook is small, but not small enough :P.

I have a 1GB card from my T|E, I imagine that will work on a Zaurus, it's fat32, I don't see why not. I'd like to get a CF wifi card for it too, any reccommendations?

I had been considering one for a while, but when I saw http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?submen...rus/zaurusmain , and after Palm relinquished PalmOS, that made my decision.
