Currently, I am looking forward for HTC 3600i. Is there any other options based on these questionaire?

Thanks

squal7, for non samsung or LG with qwerty, no brand new models that are good less than 2k.

however, i recommend u remove qwerty requirement, get HTC P3600i. very fast and pretty stable PDA.

@cosmiczone, the HTC P3600i is a very good choice actually. It fits all your requirements perfectly. Other models dont really meet your requirements, or if they do, i would recommend HTC P3600i over them anyway

of all the pdas for international use, HTC i suppose should be your best bet. With your generous budget and requirement, we can easily work something out.

i recommend the HTC Touch Cruise. It has everything you require, PLUS GPS. If you can top up about a hundred bucks you could also get the HTC Tytn2 with qwerty keyboard.

However, if you wish to lower your budget, and not spend all of it, you can also settle for HTC Touch 2, or HTC Touch Dual. Non HTC devices i dun really recommend since your priority is after sales service. If you intend to use this device long term, enquire from HTC about extending your warranty

BUDGET RANGE: 2K

Brand Preference if any: * must install Windows Mobile OS, buy for trading purpose

** most important - must be very easy to get internet connection
and easy to see road map ( i will travel a lot) ***

@bb2lowyat, connection up to your service provider, and map up to the software you use. i suggest u up your budget and go for HTC Tytn2

why HTC Tytn2 and not HTC Touch Cruise ( as u recommend for coolaldred )?

in your requirements u want QWERTY keyboard. Touch Cruise doesnt have that

HTC Touch does not have inbuilt GPS. I recommend the HTC P3600i. the standard resolution should let u install the apps u wanna install easily.

BUDGET RANGE:<RM1.5k

Second hand: No

maximum how long ago released: Must have Windows Mobile 6.0 and above

QWERTY keyboard:NO

Keypad: Virtual

GPS: no

Bluetooth: Yes

WIfi: Yes

Frequent Overseas traveller to Japan and US? or other countries: no (relates to warranty, and the type of band Pdaphone running on)

Camera Resolution minimum:2.0

Expandable Memory: Yes

3G : No

HSDPA or higher: No

Front Camera: No

Gaming Type: Light gaming(if u think u wun game, considered light gaming)

Screen Resolution: I dont give a hoot

IMPORTANT : Hopefully can get one without sucky and slow CPU, I hate lag.

with no GPS no 3G options, and a relatively generous budget, i can basically almost recommend u anything off the shelf. but i'll give u a personal recommendation based on stability and proc power.

HTC Touch 2. An interesting choice for u as it fits all requirements, plus XDA developers seem to have been able to somehow get the hidden GPS chip working. HTC Touch 2 is not advertised with this chip, but apparently its there and HTC silenced it. But they've managed to hack it to get it to work. However, if it fails, it still meets your requirements. and yes, it had good stability and decent proc power, with tried and true design as well. rubberised plastics are scratch resistant

BUDGET RANGE: below 1500

Brand Preference if any: HTC/dopod

Second hand: Yes

maximum how long ago released: Delete this line if u dun give a hoot, and just want value for your budget
