thx baronic! ur recommendations are exactly the same as what i'm expecting biggrin.gif but do u have any ideas of the price for both of these? I'm looking for a new unit...as for the processor wise, which 1 can perform better?(in terms of speed and stability)
*



they have exactly the same specs, but because of Xperia's X Panel, its just a tiny weeny bit more sluggish in comparison. i believe u can disable it, i'm not sure, u can check the Xperia thread.

As for the looks...u gotta see for yourself. Xperia is longer but narrower. WVGA vs VGA screen. u either love or hate it.

XPeria is definitely much much much cheaper.

because

SE is a brand that has always been involved in the HANDPHONE MARKET

HTC is a brand that has always been involved in the PDA MARKET.

despite the same OS, the people who buy it are different

HANDPHONE MARKET people change phone very often. PDA market people change phone less often, mostly cuz there's no real reason to. Most of the so called improvements are minor, not worth upgrading.

so because of SE's high turnover, the prices drops fast. IMHO the Xperia in comparison spec wise and relative to other PDAs, its grossly undervalued. still the aesthetics...like i said, u either love it or hate it. i just cant stand the narrow screen.

@danny, NO windows mobile can watch RMVB, and HD movies sure lag. for me i'd convert a full length movie to around 300mb max for watching. for touch 2, maybe a lil smaller. wat matters is the RESOLUTION of the movie. Touch 2 is QVGA so u wanna convert it to around that size, and use Coreplayer for best playback. will there be much improvement regarding new processor? well, for multimedia probably. For myself i'm reserving judgement until i can do some extensive testing on it. for me i wun buy a device till next year around July August, let things simmer down and any kinks worked out. PS: scew touch 2 go for second hand Touch HD


thank alot Baronic!
appreciated that. thumbup.gif

@beebee, brand new not much choices, but for value for money i'd recommend Touch HD second hand. brand new, maybe touch cruise the new version, or Touch 2. but i'd recommend second hand HD over those two models.

Thanks for the reply!

Kinda hard to find touch HD second hand now, when will HD2 launch? maybe the retail price for HD will drop then, i am considering Touch 2 & Cruise new version now, the specs seem to be same, why the price difference? How about Diamond 1? I kinda like the design of it.

why so hard? garage sale so many.

HD2 is out end of this year.

Touch 2 and Cruise, marketing gimmick.

Diamond 1, no memory card expansion, low battery 900mah


consider second hand Touch Pro and Touch Diamond 2 also. Take note of Touch Diamond 2's batter as well

@blek, use the omnia thread

@CLvnator, patience, its not like i'm some 24/7 bot.

u seem to want the most basic of all basic PDAs, and your price budget is "as low as possible". which is vague. so i'm just gonna take a stab in the dark and say Dopod 838 pro second hand, less than 1k super easy can find. but remember u get what u pay for...

Boss/Baronic,
Hehehe... I was waiting for your reply and I can tell you that patience is rarely a virtue that i utilize.... Hahaha... Anyway, I got a Touch 3G today... Btw, how do i sync in all my Nokia N70 contacts into the Touch 3G? I tried bluetoothing all directly over, but some failed (especially those with multiple phone number entries)... I backed-up all these while my N70 phonebook in WAB format, but now I can't seem to find a way to send the contacts to the Touch 3G... Sigh... I know this may not be the right thread, but in that case, can you tell me the correct thread to query?

Thanks...
