new to pdas...

Hi everyone.
I am a house officer and have been carrying heavy handbooks around.
I have only recently thought about getting a bit of technology to help me: my phone contract is running out and i've seen a few of my colleagues with pdas.
I was first thinking of getting the xda orbit, but yesterday i saw the nokia N95
I am totally new to all this and would need basic help: is the nokia N95 ok? will it support the medical software?
where can it get both free and payable software for my phone?
I would like something to use as a phone, also with wifi and not too bulky. the nokia one looks amazing,but they said it's a simbian phone, has quick-office and acrobat.
thanks for any help

Re: new to pdas...

You are better with a PDA/Phone that runs either Windows Mobile (Phone Edition rather than Smartphone Edition) or Palm OS.

The N95 won't run the majority of medical software so if thats the primary reason you want a PDA you are better with WM or Palm.

Let me know what you get...

Chris
