honestly, i not really know about PDA, that's why i'm asking opinions from u guys..
why u need a PDA??
how do u choose a PDA that can fill your needs?
i think everyone got different needs and wants...
just want to know why...

pls kindly reply lar...
really very curious about this... thank u so much....

AFAIK, there are so-called users buy PDAs just to pose inside Starbuck/Coffee Bean shop, pretending they are doing their office work

as for me, i need it to use the following functions:
- calendar
- address book
- dictionary
- memo
- surfing the net (occasionally)

i'm not a poser type coz i dun bring it out after working hours.. and i dun have to time to go to Starbuck for a cup of coffee while poking my pda

I bought my first PDA (a Palm m515) about 5 years ago for only one reason, ebooks. But now my PDA uses include:

1) music
2) ebooks (dict, novels, mags, RSS feeds, maps, etc)
3) PIM
4) alarm clock
5) surfing net wirelessly (not anymore ever since I got my laptop)
6) do my assignments on the go
7) ocassional gaming.

anyone else can gives some opinions?? plssss..
and thanks for all opinions above...

No worries, mate... Glad to be of assistance...

So u now have a better viewpoint of PDAs functions in general, eh?

The best game for ALL kind of PDAs -- Sudoku!

Nothing much more to say as the forumers above have already covered most of it. PDA/Phone for calling as well.....

Im very naive chooing the right PDA, planning to buy 2nd/ used PDA

Should i go to Dell or iPaq ? i found iPaq has many accessories & can be easily found compare to Dell series. Can I buy it any Dell accessories offline/ retail shop like iPaq accessories
