NaviGPSs and Garmin Gekos seem to be pretty popular amongst OSMers, along with 
PDAs with custom software (osmtracker).

As my Navi is down for repairs, I'm considering trying out a Konet BGL-32: 
they're quite a bargain, and provide just the data needed for OSM: tracks and 
waypoints.

You will find a (semi)comprehensive list of hardware here:

I suggest you not to buy any unit that isn't able to hold tracks *and* 
waypoints by itself. Its usefulness would be limited for OSM purposes.

Cheers,
