    Greetings,

    I am currently looking into getting either a Ipaq 3800 or 3900 series
    or a Zaurus SL-5600 for linux. The price between the 3800 and the
    Zaurus 5600 is about a hundred dollars. The price difference is a bit
    smaller between a 3900 and a SL-5600. I am wonder if it's worth
    paying more for a Zaurus 5600. I am a long time linux user so
    learning curve isn't an issue. I want the most complete linux system I
    can get on a handheld with the most support. What are the ups and
    downs of each?

    Any feedback from existing users would be appreciated!
