Merli,
I got a C1000 to replace my 5500. If I were you I'd forget the 860, as it has been discontinued and you can get a C1000 cheaper. Only if you get a very good deal on a second hand one it might be a option. As for the C3000 vs the C1000, depends on how much cash you have, and what level of support yuo want.
I got mine from pricejapan, and I'm very happy with it, but I am already experienced with openzaurus and even did a little help with the porting effort for the C1000. If you're not very experienced with linux/openzaurus, I'd recommend you to buy yours from Trisoft, since from what I've read here they give good support, and have a good translated rom installed on the C1000 before shipping it to you. It'll be more expensive than if you import it "directly" (pricejapan or similar) but you won't pay extra taxes, since you'll be getting the zaurus from another EC country. I was lucky, I only payed 44 Euros taxes, but my C1000 was in customs three weeks.
