need Palm/PDA advice

My much-used PalmPilot is on its last legs. The latest trouble was the contrast went all pear-shaped; I have something vaguely usable, thanks to careful manual-reading by [livejournal.com profile] cattitude and catching just the right angle of daylight, despite the snow, to be able to see the contrast slider enough to use it. But at this point I expect it to die an unfixable death relatively soon.

I currently have a Palm Vx, which was gorgeous state-of-the-art when I got it in late 1999. I'm looking for suggestions on a replacement. I strongly want to run PalmOS, simply because I'm used to it and even have some registered programs; other than that, I'm flexible. Color and other bells and whistles would be nice, but I'm looking to do this cheaply. What I mostly want is advice on good (or bad) models. I intend to buy new, because I want the maximum life out of the new machine.

Thanks.
