Palm Zire 71 is the one I use, £10 on ebay with cradle & software!

Basic compared to a smartphone - but I only use it for George

I've not used a 150  before, but comparing the specs with the 130, the 130 wins hands down. The only other palm that I have used is a z21, that had more memory and a faster processor. It also had a built in mp3 payer.
Don't waste your money on the one with the margi presenter thingy cause it will have no use to you in the world of windowcleaning.

All the palms are pretty basic compared to a smartphone, mine plays mp3 and has a camera - it's just used for george
