I have used a Palm V and a WinCE palmtop; but if you intend to take notes at uni, forget it. If they have a keyboard they are too small to use for large amounts of typing. Most have either handwriting recognition (you said yours was bad - so forget that), or a emulated 'tap' kb - too slow.

My suggestion would be the new Sony VAIO sub-notebook or one of the new Apple ibooks.
