PDAs and Pocket PCs

I am looking to get a PDA or Pocket PC for work and general use. I am leaning more toward the Microsoft based OS devices and would like something for handling calendar, email, MS Word/Excel/PwrPt, MP3s, and pictures. Video would be a nice option, but not a necessity. I will also want a WiFi enabled device and expansion slots for extra memory. Consumer Reports seems to be pretty limited in the models they have tested, but they give most points to the Dell Axim x51. I want to try and spend less than $400. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone uses a PDA regularly and has any recommendations.

I use the Palm T/X. It comes with a doc viewer for MS office, wifi, bluetooth, email client, video player, etc. I just got a 2GB SD card for about $20 for it, and it was about $300.

I looked at the Palms and that one specifically. My biggest concern with the Palm is the lack of a replaceable battery pack, so you can't carry an extra battery with you for times when you are away from your charger. Any problems with that?
