hmmm... if u gonna online often, i definitely suggest getting a qwerty model. i'd recommend the samsung sgh1780, but the screen size is square and so, maybe some problems installing softwares. but its still a good deal. (note: its 2mp)

if u can up your budget, got for the HTC Tytn2. (note its : THREE mp)

If u cant, then drop qwerty requirement, (will impair your surfing capabilities perhaps? since its faster and easier to type with qwerty) and get the HTC P3600i. HTC P3600i is 2mp though. its hard to get first hand 3mp with 2k budget. most are 2k plus.

expandable memory is memory card slot. all recommendations above got.

all pdas meanwhile can generally do your cut paste function etc

i plan to buy htc tytn II

price - 2,599
OS - wm 6.1

Mostly, im a student doin a small business. So just check email once a while lor. Want it to have a good resale value(IMPORTANT CRITERIA),

and also, want it to be bug free and long lasting, I got quoted for an Asus dunno wat model(rm999), its not p320, its dark silver color, with keypads but not qwerty keyboard.

Or is the asus p320 ok? and htc touch p3452? Last criteria, nice shape n light!


thx so much. u will reli help me out in choosing a pda.

@chinesepunk, hmmm....welll if normally people say resale value, they say look at HTC. its easier to find a buyer. i would recommend looking at a second hand HTC P3600i with warranty actually. u should be able to get it at that price. decent specs and stuff. but i'm not sure whats your taste in its design

thx bro!

@Codegrass, since you have no budget, then just go ahead with the Touch Pro lor
