Depends on habits, echoed from upthread; and mileage varies a lot.
There is a way to split the keyboard difference to a certain extent: the Palm Tungsten line may cost more than you want to spend on a PDA, but it / they have a little built-in keyboard suitable for thumbs. I've written several pages of diss on my Tungsten C and taken more notes on it than really seems reasonable in retrospect. Though typing on the tiny keyboard is substantially slower than manipulating pen/paper, one doesn't lose pieces or get them out of order, and I ride public transit most days, during which legible handwriting to capture fleeting thoughts is impossible.
I got the Tungsten C despite high cost because I figured I would never remember to drag along the unfoldable keyboard one needs for most other Palm PDAs.
