@horseman, if u dun need a hardware numeric keypad, a virtual keypad also can, then u can basically settle for any PDA. I use virtual keypad, basically it shows a T9 normal phone keypad on your pda screen to type like normal sms using one hand only. its free to use, and any pda shud be able to use it. Need to know your budget range before offering anything though.

@chianping, chianping, for your requirements, i believe you'll have to aim for Eten Glofish M700 or the newer Eten Glofish M800. They both meet your requirements. I'm not too sure bout M800's current price but the worst is it exceeds your budget just a little. Your 2k budget constraint + no second hand is the issue.

@dp82, because you're a frequent traveller, your options are limited. Eten or Glofish devices are out since they're mostly Triband i believe, so do not work in US or Japan. I strongly recommend Dopod 838pro. It does not have GPS though.

@k_zyl, no problem. i dont have a shop, i'm just a normal pda fanatic. For the best price i would recommend searching in our garage sales itself. I would usually recommend a seller, but i'm currently having unresolved issues with him, so i dun wanna recommend in case he does not resolve it.

How bout Samsung i780, Sony Ercisson P1 & HTC Touch P3452?

Forget SE P1

haha.. SE P1 is a darn Symbian..

HTC P3452 (HTC Touch) does not have qwerty. Does not meet your specs.

as for that samsung model, u could try it, i havent really tried that model before. But i believe it has WQVGA? So u'll have third party applications and games incompatibility problems

eten m800 is gsm quad band lo haha.. that's why i bought it

HTC quite GOOD!!!

my bro reviewed the Samsung i780, so i had a chance to play with it abit..

to me, screen not that responsive.. but the PPC is thin and is quite nice to hold.. but ppl who has big fingers should stay away.. the QWERTY was made for ants.

BUDGET RANGE: Below 2k

Need recommendation please guys. Wan to buy ASAP. Any big difference WM5 and WM6? First time PDA user here Thanks in advance

interesting requirements there mosfet83. U dun want much of a cam capability, dun need 3G also. Are u looking for a PDA or PDA phone just to clarify

i'm looking for a PDA phone actually
so i dun hav to carry both my pda and phone at the same time
gonna sell my 4months old k530i after buying this
dun need 3G since everywhere i go got free wifi
camera? nahhh im not photogenic
doesnt mean i really dont need it
it would be an advantage if it has it
i do make video calls sometimes but that isnt a priority

I see i see. Well, for starters i dun recommend O2 since their support is pretty bad. And pricey. Their new line up is promising though. but expensive.


But anyway, for you i recommend O2 Atom V. Brand new should be just at your budget. Nice, sleek, extremely powerful processor, downside, no video call, and only 64 mb of ram, so heavy gaming which requires more ram may be a problem. But u want light gaming. So stuff even like Age of Empires shud be no problem. i wanted to buy this cuz of the proc, but then, powerful proc plus weak ram, no point, hard to heavy game with low ram so didnt bother.

More within your budget i recommend HTC P3600i.Around Rm 1700 brand new, ori by SIS. I used this before, and its one of the more reliable HTC devices out there. Lower proc power than Atom V but still fast, just dun have 3D acceleration so cant play those 3D accelerated games like COD. with 500Mhz u can basically play any other game though. ALso, unlike atom V it has a front camera for video call.

Both above mentioned devices have GPS and 2MP cam. Both i strongly recommend for your requirements. If u dun need front cam, i'd go for Atom V. CUz of the beautiful design and proc lol. But if u plan to get a gf, get a front cam. haahaha

yeah thanks man let me have a look now then come back to u ya thanks ....

Hi guys, I'm thinking of upgrading to a new PDA phone. Would appreciate it if I can get any help in choosing the right PDA phone as generally I know next to nothing about PDA phones having not previously owned one before. Any help would be really appreciated

BUDGET RANGE: Around RM2,000 ( RM 2k is the max I will be willing to go. Cheaper than 2k is a bonus )

Brand Preference if any: Asus or O2 but if there are other models which is better I'd be glad to consider. (Any model except HTC P3600i as my friend owns it and I want something different)

Second hand: No. Must be a new set. (First PDA phone of course have to be brand new )

GPS: If have its a bonus. If don't have then its OK.

Bluetooth: Yes

WIfi: Must have.

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

Camera Resolution minimum: 2 megapixels

Expandable Memory: Yes

3G : Must have.

HSDPA or higher: What is this ? Can someone explain to me ?

Front Camera: Generally a yes because you need a camera in front for 3G ?

Screen Resolution: Doesn't matter.

Again thanks in advance for your time
