PDA advice?

I wanted to post this question here because I got GREAT advice on a digital camera about 6 months ago...thanks Rich, btw.

I need to get better organized, and I need to be able to do this fairly simply...and I believe a PDA would be of great help. I do outside sales (Industrial sales).

I am not sure whether I should get a PDA phone from Sprint (my contract is up) or if I should simply buy a PDA. I have already concluded it is not necessary that I have a data package to access the internet (costs more than I care to spend each month)...wifi would be perfect. I could do that for about $250 with a Mogul HTC handheld (it's the only pda phone with wifi offered by Sprint)

Part of me doesn't want to get a PDA that is also a phone...I don't want to haul around a PDA when I am doing things unrelated to work...and I don't want to be out a phone and a pda if I happen to break it!

I'm also interested in the HP iPAQ 11 It is supposedly easy to use, fast, has wifi and blue tooth...it's a few dollars more but I don't know if it's worth the difference or not.

I'd love to find a good pda for about $200, but the wifi thingy seems to be available only on mid/higher range pda's.

Anyone have advice? Other pda's I should consider?
