Road warrior
Not everyone is cut out for travel, but road warriors live and thrive on the go. So if you're on the road a lot, you need a device that can do it all without weighing you down. You're most likely a road warrior if any of these descriptions fit you:
- You're on a first-name basis with several flight attendants.
- You confuse the words suitcase and apartment.
- You expense everything.
- When telling someone the time, you include the time zone.

Sprint PPC-6700
CNET rating: 7.0
Although far from perfect, the Sprint PPC-6700 is definitely smarter than most smart phones and almost good enough to earn the title of Treo killer.
The good: The Sprint PPC-6700 features a spacious QWERTY keyboard, three forms of wireless (EV-DO, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth), and the latest OS, Windows Mobile 5.
The bad: The bricklike Sprint PPC-6700 has some downfalls, including a nonstandard memory slot, no voice dialing, and somewhat sluggish performance. The LCD is also impossible to read outdoors, and it's easy to press the side buttons accidentally.

Pharos Traveler GPS 525
CNET rating: 6.5
Maps and personal data go hand in hand with the Pharos Traveler GPS 525, a PDA that effectively combines organization with navigation to not only find where you are but also point you where to go.
The good: Tiny and pocket-friendly, the Pharos Traveler GPS 525 has a powerful GPS receiver that doesn't require a fold-out antenna. It also comes with lots of maps, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and it has solid battery life.
The bad: The Pharos Traveler GPS 525's screen is too small to use in a car, its audio is about as bad as it gets, and without a hold switch, it can inadvertently be turned on in a bag, leaving you with a dead battery.
