Thank you in advance.

HTC Touch Dual have wifi? Although I would like the design, but I am ok with other types like Asus P750 or Ipaq 612, with the keypad at the bottom. Just don't like the qwerty keypad because I quite often use one hand to type.

Well, there is an advantage for using a virtual keypad, although in my perspective I am losing 1 advantage as well by giving up the hardware keypad. The new advantage is of course bigger screen.

Is it still possible to type with a single hand using the virtual keypad?

Well, if that being the recommendation, I shall give it a try. Hence, my options are now much wider. What would fit my requirement? Thanks.

After the advice I got, I would like to revise my requirements:

BUDGET RANGE: RM1500 or below

Thank you. Much appreciation with your guideline.

Hi, Baronic. One thing I never did get to understand is your advice of buying 2nd hand from users straight, instead of shops. Why? Price concerns? Or...??

I recently bought a fake nokia battery. It has the hologram on it, and it looks about the same from shop to shop. Perhaps all of them had the same fake battery. When they sell, they will do a lot of sweet talk. After one month, the battery goes off very easily. Go back to them, they don't admit selling any original unit.

So how to decide whether it is not re-con unit? Or if the accessories are original?

But with the lesson learn, I will definitely go visit an authorized SIS shop to get more information. Just that sometimes the sales staff also with limited knowledge, and it makes purchasing experience sucks, big time.

BUDGET RANGE: RM900-1000 (or less)

Brand Preference if any: Nokia / HTC / Ipaq / Asus and others. But like Gigabyte and O2... got service center or not? Seems like unpopular. My brand consideration is related to service center and resell value

Second hand: Yes

QWERTY keyboard: No

Keypad: Virtual (in order to maximize screen size, perhaps like 3.0?)

GPS: No

Bluetooth: Yes

WIfi: Yes

Camera Resolution minimum: 3.0 mpx (but more is better)

Expandable Memory: Yes / No (Not really important if built in memory is large like 4GB)

3G : No

HSDPA or higher: No

Front Camera: No

Gaming Type: Light gaming

Screen Resolution: VGA / QVGA / of course higher is better. Can view more on screen
