Hi Baronic,

I'm looking for a PDA phone for my father. The budget is around 2-3k

Brand Preference if any: Few frens recommended HTC, so HTC i guess

Second hand: Preferably new

QWERTY keyboard: Yes

Keypad: not sure which is better

GPS: Yes

Bluetooth: Yes

WIfi: Yes

Frequent Overseas traveller to Japan and US? or other countries: Yes

Camera Resolution minimum:

Expandable Memory: Yes

3G : Yes

HSDPA or higher: Yes

Front Camera: Yes

Gaming Type: Light gaming

Screen Resolution: VGA / QVGA

I have a few additional questions. Does today's PDA have a handwriting recognition? If yes, then how good is it?
2nd-> I went to HTC website and they have 3 categories of phone: Touch phone, PDA phone and Smart Phone.
Can u please explain the differences? Does it mean Touch phone and Smart phone don't have PDA capabilities? Thank you very much for your help!

thanks dadarouch and baronic for ur advices. so let me get this straight. both HTC smart phones and PDA phones don't have TouchFlo unlike the Touch Phone right? so what's the difference btwn Smart phone and PDA phone? but all 3 types have PDA functionalities correct? Sorry if i asked too much bcz i planned to get the Touch phone for myself, but what's the use if it doesnt have PDA functions, right?

Anyway, i think my dad gonna use it mostly for business purposes and works (he's a businessman).so the keyboard will greatly help. i'll take baronic advice and ask my dad if he's gonna be comfortable with the weight. maybe i'll recommend the Touch Dual to him too (hopefully the Dual have all the PDA functionalities just like the Tytn II). As u guys can see I'm really a noobie when it comes to PDA phones.
