Sort of just thinking out loud here, but if anyone wants to chime in, that would be great :D

I've narrowed down my choice in PDAs to either the Dell x50 mid or x50v...but I just can't decide if the VGA screen is worth the extra $90.

It seems like the x50v is slower, and the VGA thing isn't quite 100% there yet. If I knew for sure that Dell will sell an upgrade to Windows Mobile 2005 for the x50s, I'd just invest in the x50v. But I'm guessing they won't, and that the great GPU will basically just go to waste.

Want to order this tonight while I can do the 15% off + $75 off. Maybe I should just flip a coin :D

I do use my PDAs constantly, and I use a spreadsheet multiple times a day, so maybe I should just go for the better screen...but man, it's $550 when I get it with all the extras I want, versus $460 for the mid.

Wish I could wait for Windows Mobile 2005, but my Clie's screen is getting progressivly worse.
