Do they make these any more? I'm thinking of something like Compaq's iPAQ, but without the cell phone. I guess I could get one with a cell phone and never activate it, but that seems like a waste. Any ideas?

For this particular purpose, it has to be Windows Mobile based. (This is a for a specific piece of software at work.)

I've got an old Dell Axium, but it has a stylus keyboard.

What do you need it for?

I see.

Tiger Direct has some (for UNGODLY outrageous prices), but none with the QWERTY keyboards.

Yeah, I'm starting to think our only option would be to get a cell phone without a contract and just never use it as a phone.

So do you just need one, or do you need several?

Yeah, definitely a little pricey, but those are in the ball park. I'm thinking my best bet may be to go with a cell phone. I can find them between $300 and $500, so that may have to do.
