Consider Asus P320 as well. with RM 1500 you're just short of HTC p3600i. or maybe u can find if some shops wanna clear stock.

@ahseng84

I guess with those requirements, especially budget >1500 and hardware keypad, the Asus P527 seems to be ideal. Value for money also if you don't need 3G.

My friend is looking for a PDA only. Any manufacturer still does this or most already combined with a phone?
To be safe, pls. recommend pda-phone as well for this budget. Thanks.

HTC Touch Viva

@ Pitt

u could try a 2nd hand diamond

@Pitt

Go for a new set of HTC Touch Cruise. And if you don't mind having no Qwerty keyboard, then dun get one with it; it's much heavier.

Alternatively, for a lower price tag and A-GPS, Toshiba G810. Extra cash can be converted to better grade screen protector, pouch etc.

look at HTC tytn2 or HTC Touch Cruise. Alternatively, if u'd like a smartphone, try HTC S740, its a really fancy and beautiful piece of equipment

@hades4eve, consider these, if u dun mind no touch screen, HTC S740. Touch 3G is also magnificient if u dun need front cam. otherwise, look for a second hand Touch Diamond, but u'll probably need an extended batterty RM 250. Shud still be less than 2k total. Or brand new HTC P3600i.

@pehwui, same recommendation as hades4eve

@sgmati, i dun really like samsung omnia, cuz of resolution incompatibility with some programs, but u can go for it. otherwise HTC P3600i would a cost effective item

Google "Asus P750 review". See if you like this model, I almost bought it few months ago but held back by its look; too boring. However it has superb GPS which is important to you; pay attention to the GPS review if you can find them. Price now should be below RM2000....think so.

Added on December 25, 2008, 9:21 pmI suggest second hand HTC Touch Cruise if you need expandable memory. SDHC slot can support up to 32GB cards in theory.

---

Added on December 25, 2008, 9:30 pmAt RM1500, HTC P3600i (really value for money); at RM2400 HTC Touch Diamond (4GB internal memory).

Actually, maybe you can state the OS you prefer. Anyway, the Iphone 3G has no front camera, so I guess it's out. Blackberry is more to businessman which I don't think you are one. The Omnia....personally I don't like it since I first saw and played with it in Singapore before its launch.

Hello... Its me again ^^

I just want to ask something regarding GPS in phone. Is all GPS the same? coz i came across TomTom GPS and something like that.... and what will be the most common GPS that used for every Phone GPS? Is still what recommended by Baronic and phylem_hao applicable for those GPS that works in europe as well?
