guys, from the prev question i've asked, do u recommend me to get a 2nd hand or is it mandatory to by a new set? [mandatory means in terms of support, faultiness.... etc]

in my opinion, if you are a first time PDA user then its a good idea to get a new set so that if any problems occur you can always bring it back to the shop, but if you are a seasoned PDA user then its up to you weather you want a new one or a 2nd hand one...it also depends on what condition the 2nd hand model that your have your eye on.

Just my 2 cents

hehe..... my 1st PDA(still using it now).... is a 2nd hand.
but i bought it till now, still got warranty lo.

this is wat i make sure of... so i wont have any troubles if let say any problem occured.

software n upgrading roms, etc....

some tips for new user(tis is wat i did):
google a lot, read a lot, ask a lot....
make sure u know what you are doing b4 you do it...

get a second hand set WITH warranty would be good

haha..most classic and useful answer dude

838pro definitely but a brand new set i'am not sure still available in the market anot

u mean dopod 838 pro? noob here

yeah he means Dopod 838 Pro...but Try to take a look at the O2 Zinc..the both is about the same price..but for those 2 its kinda hard to find a brand new set.

just my 2 cents

its quite impossible to find a brand new set. try getting siaokialeong's Demo set TyTN II, it's within your budget with extra functions.

HTC users outnumbered other s...
HTC got more device
i am gonna be a HTCians in future;
next time i gonna need a PDA recommendation from here too...

its very hard to get a good brand new device at that budget. the best u can do is a second hand tytn2 or display set maybe. but even then, its not "heavy gaming" but medium gaming. However, I recommend a second hand Dopod 838pro since its much cheaper than a tytn2, has same gaming capabilities, and cuz u dun need GPS

OR

forget gaming, go for samsung i780 i think brand new can get. not sure. i think. go google or lelong.com.my to check it out. reminder this isnt a discussion thread. Gaming capability crippled cuz of screen resolution, compatibility problems, but it has GPS

@darkaxx, do u intend to do a lot of internet surfing? as in A LOT? if yes, u'll need a qwerty. and u cant get many good brand new models at that price. maybe have a look at samsung i780 i think, but u have to increase budget. its close to 2k last i hear.

if u just wanna sms, u dun need qwerty. u can use virtual T9 keypad. its like a normal phone but on screen


since u dun need GPS, HTC Touch Viva is a good budget phone. plus its pretty new.

slightly better gaming capabilities, with GPS > HTC P3600i (also mor expensive)

U can also consider HTC Touch Dual. With many normal handphone makers such as gameloft switching to PDAs with hardware keypad, if gaming is a must, having the TOUCH Dual's keypad would be good if u really need to game , gives u more variety

yo.. thanks for the quick reply =)

as to your questions, i probably won't do a lot of surfing with the pda tho... mostly when im on the run/outstation... however i did received some negative feedbacks not getting the qwerty.. GPS and gaming abilities would not be my primary criteria as long as it runs smoothly with a couple of programs running + some mini games i suppose ?

i was hoping to get something which is not gonna be obsolete or outta favour in like 6 months just to save a couple of hundreds (if u get what i mean)

btw do u have a price list for HTC 3600i, Touch Viva and TyTn II as a reference ? i haven't got a clue whats the price range or these pdas u mentioned earlier =P (i'll do my research soon =) )

Do advise on how to narrow down my options =)

Many thanks..

hmmm, i dun think it'd be obsolete so quickly.

i believe P3600i is RM 1650

Touch Viva i'm selling 1299

tytn2 i'm selling 2420. i tot your budget 1500, plus a few hundred, must be brand new?

i'd suggest the Touch Viva since your demands arent that high

has any1 been using blackberry storm? how is it? how much is the retail price?

there is a storm thread in handphone section. this thread is purely recommendation. see first post

wokiez... i think i know what i want i hope...
thanks again...
