Even though it ain't a pda per se, I'd have to get an N810.  The Nokia 810 has 
a little slide out keyboard and built in GPS.  You can download open source 
maps for it.  It's linux.  Lots of great linux apps.    You can get root access 
with a terminal.  

Like I said, it ain't really a pda, so don't flop your money down for it until 
you know what this thing is.  It's a pretty cool little internet tablet, and 
you probably know about it already.  I am biased toward it because I've had a 
Nokia 770 for some time now, and it's been totally reliable and stable and has 
been all I wanted it to be with the exception of the flash version on it.  The 
wireless wifi radio in it is the best longest ranging wifi access device I own 
of all my laptops and adapters, making it a killer wifi sniffer with kismet 
installed.  The N810 is a little more up to date.

There undoubtedly are better PDA choices than the N810 if you want full PDA 
functionality.
