Its been ages since owned/ looked at PDAs (original Psion) so I imagine that all-singing Internet connectivity is de rigeur these days. However, that's not what I'm looking for.
I'm looking in to this from the point of view of plain e-mail and non-wireless transmission, i.e. using something akin to the original close-couple modem connection. This photo shows the TM20 "at work" as it were:

Well, I use a wireless method but cannot fault it. It's a Nokia 6600, and - providing you can type on its' keypad ok(!) - sends emails quickly and easily, from virtually anywhere. It's via GPRS, so it's dependant on coverage, but overall I can't fault it.

Sounds interesting. Is it linked/ tied to an airtime contract with a mobile company?
I'm very much still/just looking into this and I'm trying to find if its possible to avoid something like a long-term tie in (such as to a mobile contract). The PocketMail "solution" seems to offer that but its the only one I've come across. I'd have thought there might well be other market offerings?

Orange (at least) allow GPRS connection on a PAYG basis. -- Chris Malcolm [email hidden] +44 (0)131 651 3445 DoD #205 IPAB, Informatics, JCMB, King's Buildings, Edinburgh, EH9 3JZ, UK [http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/cam/]
