Mary,
I have both of your handhelds, & they're similar to my Treo 90, which has pretty good battery life. I recharge my main Treo about once or twice a week. It's color & has 16 Mb of memory & a SD card slot for expansion, but no phone. It does everything I need it to do. I know it's a step backward in technology, but if you find one (eBay?), I don't think you'd be disappointed. It will be less expensive than the current crop of handhelds with the latest OS bells, whistles, & cameras, too! Good luck!
Dave
