squirrel barefoot 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Dang I thought this thread was about sexual aides. lolComing back to the topic, why don't you just buy a pda? I would say you'll want one with the bluetooth, so that you could connect to the internet via GPRS. One main advice is DO NOT buy Acer N30. I did that mistake a year ago and have been having only problems with it ever since. Try Fujutsu Siemens or Asus, they are the best on the market. Or even HP. Link to post Share on other sites
mrfrankhg 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Without a doubt, go with an HP IPAQ. I have an IPAQ 4150 and that thing kicks ***. It does everything you want and so much more. Can't go wrong with an HP. Link to post Share on other sites
The Czar 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I'd go with the new Palm Treo because of its fast Internet connectivity and Windows format. It is a phone, but does have camera, bluetooth, expandable memory, etc. I have the old one (Treo 650) and I like it. It has all PDA features. And no, I don't work for Treo, wish I did tho.

A PDA is not something you buy out of the blue just cuz you like the price. I wish I knew that a year ago when I was buying mine...Anyways, HP seems to be the best choice in this case. I would think twice before buying a Palm though... Palms are hardet to navigate for some reason, PPCs have always seemed more user-friendly to me :)And don't forget which memory card your PDA is using. I vote for SDs Link to post Share on other sites

Most likely it will be a Blackberry. You can't do as much in the third party apps area with Blackberries as a Treo or HP platform but in terms of doing what you want it excels. Get the 8700 model with EDGE (if you have that network available) and you will be happy. Email - fantasticInternet - OKPhone - all in one - also includes speakerphoneCalendar - easily synchs realtime with your desktop calendarTo do/etc - no one ever really uses these but it's there if you wantMemory - who knows - mine has email stretching back to April still in it so it is probably enough Link to post Share on other sites

That way you can carry one device instead of two Link to post Share on other sites
