advalorem,
Good thread, and thanks for starting.
Palm user here (Vx) using a CDMA mobile as a modem.
Very satisfied with Palm, but always shopping.
I am somewhat surprised that Psion, EPOC, and Symbian, have gotten little mention on this thread. I suspect that when I replace my current Palm it will probably be with either a Psion device, or the EPOC OS integrated into a mobile or wireless device (although all are somewhat more GSM-centric at this point in time).
When it was released, the Psion 5 was supposed to have a CDMA modem, out there in the not to distant future. Actually at close to 2 pounds the Series 5 might be a bit hefty to be classified as a PDA, but certainly the Revo Plus is not.
<< The Palm Vx runs about $400, and the Palm IIIC runs about $400. The RIMM model runs about $400-$500, and the HWP/Casio/Compaq models run about $500.>>
The Revo Plus is priced equivalent to a IIIc or Vx.
Pretty objective current review here on the Revo Plus:

A good jumping off spot for Psion stuff (and other PDA things) is:

As far as market share goes, methinks Symbian will have a major impact on both Palm and Pocket PC devices, as PDA's go wireless.
