Nice. There's only one PDA by HTC that currently fits all your requirement, and thats HTC Tytn 2. Please refer to the garage sale section for best prices, as its constantly being updated, and we have no idea who offers the best price since its up to the individual sellers to set the price.

the document edit stuff all calendar organiser even the most basic PDA can do wan, dun worry.

Hmmm....hard to give recommendation since u no budget. Lets see, since no budget, and u want heavy gaming VGA device, PLUS expandable memory i'd say u'll have to wait for the coming HTC Touch Pro with qwerty keyboard. If u can live with 4GB internal non expandable memory like me with no qwerty keyboard, u can go for HTC Touch Diamond.

as far as i know, those are the two only options u have now because of "VGA", "hard gaming" and "HSDPA or higher"

probably when the Touch Pro will release n cost how much? how bout the latest price for Touch Diamond? i thk i will need a keyboard cos will do a lot of emailing n office document work, a keyboard is better...

yes i agree, a keyboard is definitely better for u in that case. The touch pro i would estimate either late july or august. price i estimate maybe close to 3K give or take.

if u didnt want heavy gaming, i may recommend X1 Sony Erricsson Xperia, but its coming out late in the year

BUDGET RANGE:2.5k max

Second hand: Yes/no

QWERTY keyboard: no

Keypad: Virtual/touch

GPS: BIG yes

Bluetooth: Yes

WIfi: Yes

Frequent Overseas traveller to Japan and US? or other countries: no

Camera Resolution minimum:2mp

Expandable Memory: Yes / No / maybe. depends how big hd

3G : yes but not so important

HSDPA or higher: No

Front Camera: Yes. still can live without though

Gaming Type: moderate gaming

Screen Resolution: the more the merrier

Screen size: biggest possible for maximum movie watching experience (relatively)

Ah i see your priority is moderate gaming, and movie watching experience. For movies, i must tell u this, u need an EXTREMELY powerful pdaphone to play movies with huge resolution (like those which are extremely clear on your PC). And those pdas, are currently only the axims, which are very very old, and they're just pdas not pdaphones.

You'll have to convert those DVD quality movies into smaller resolution, meant for pocket pc. U can find many such applications via google if u dun have it yet.

So, now, i'm considering u're ok with that.

U have wide variety to choose from:

lets start with "with front camera" : u have the HTC P3600i, which is around 1.7k range brand new. It has everything u require as stated, but its QVGA.

An alteranative is Eten X800, good specs with VGA screen (QVGA stands for quarter VGA, so u can figure the resolution). But i believe its more expensive, at around 2k (i think) and the warranty support by the distributer, is not as good as HTC's SIS. SIS can repair for u in malaysia. Eten normally send back to taiwan for repair so can take damn long.

Both have front camera and 3G.

Both are newer models relatively. I wouldnt recommend going for Touch Cruise since it interferes with gaming with its Touch Flo. But u can check out Touch Cruise as well if you like.

Eten has older models worth having a look like p535, but it doesnt have 3G.

I dont recommend going for device with square screen cuz very very few games fit square screens

Without a front camera:

thanks for the info!

thanks very much!movie quality doesnt have to be huge in resolution.as long as its viewable without having to place it milimeters from my eyes (i mean the screen has to be big la).i put BIG yes for gps function up there.but not many have gps do they?i think htc got gps(free compared to paid gps on nokia).so what are you recommendations?

all the above models i mentioned before, i took all your specifications into account dont worry . All of em have GPS.

and no, i used to view videos on HTC P3600i, converted it into a pocket pc format video (for example, HOUSE M.D is only 70 mb in pocket pc format) and watched it flawlessly no problems.

also, all the above models do not have qwerty keyboard, since u didnt want it.

If u increase your budget just a hundred bucks, u can actually buy HTC Touch Diamond, the latest pdaphone by HTC. There is an official thread here u can have a look, just read the first two posts for a summary. Note : normal pdaphone battery around 1350maH but Diamond only 900maH. I did a battery review check it out. But if u dun have a car charger or u plan to be outdoors for prolonged time, then dun get diamond. Cuz then u need extended battery. Which is probably around 150. Means u increase your budget by 250 lol

wah u very good la.read your blog on htc diamond.quite impressive that thing.what is ur take on upcoming (dunno when) iphone 3g?for me the interface alone impressed me.the big screen's a bonus.i looking forward to buying it but i can't wait since my current phone is already nearing the end of it's life

LOL.. dont ask him bout iPhone.. he hates it

yea,i hate iphone lol. Its an overated ipod with phone function. thats it. its not running on windows mobile so there's little third party app u can install, and be sure that apple will only allow their own copyrighted stuff to be install on iphone to milk every last dollar from u

well said.. i kinda have a hatred to iPhones too.. but i cant say much.. my frenz all have it.. LOL.. so i main with it onny dont have to buy.. lol

haha sorry mah.im neutral in this.but the screen is huge!
