Can anyone recommend a good electronic organiser/diary?

I'm after something very specific here and any help would be appreciated. I need a pocket sized electronic diary / organiser. Something seperate to my phone. A PC or Netbook would be too big.

It needs to be able to store contacts (names addresses telephone numbers), it needs to have a diary.

It doesn't have to sync with anything, it doesn't need the capability to print.

Ideally either touch screen or keys, and NOT one of those silly pen things for input.

Anyone know of anything that might work?

Thanks in advance

Yes either would work but ideally I don't want it to be a phone, otherwise I'd use my current phone.

I have owned 2 of those £10 units from Argos, back in the 90's, and they were pretty good. Not sure I'd use them for business use though.

Wow they are expensive, I guess that's because they also play music which I'm not interested in it doing.

I was really hoping there'd be a cheap solution out there for about £20 or £30

How about looking for an old Psion organiser?

There's a Psion Series 5 on Ebay for £20.

It's states it a bit worn but these PDAs cost an awful lot more than £20 when they first came out!

Now that sounds like a plan, and Psion's had a good name.

I'll try that, thanks
