Good PDA Phone, any suggestions?

[yuichi]

Hi guys!
i'm planning to buy my lovely wifey a PDA phone for her upcoming birthday.
the problem is i'm a person who's knows nothing about gadgets.
PDA, MP3/MP4, PSP....i just hear of them but i only have a 3-year old cellphone, that's all i know.
so now i'm looking at different PDA phone models/brand. saw the likes of O2, Dopod, Palm, HP and others.
what brand and model would you guys suggest, and why?
BTW, i'll buy the unit in HK coz its cheaper, would it be compatible with our local system in phil?

ang alam ko lang na pda phone ay yung gawa ng HP. ang pda phone at smart phone pareho ba? gusto mo ba ng touch screen?

smart phones:
treo 6xx, 7xxx
motorolla q
nokia e62

lahat ng ito ay either tri-band or quadband. gagana yan sa pilipinas.

O2 seems to be a good unit... most companies prefer this as their company issued gadget. O2 Stealth is the latest, if I'm not mistaken.

ok yung new O2 Zinc.
pagkakaalam ko 3g capable na din sya.

ser, i saw that stealth lastnight, i really love it!
looks like an ordinary slide cellphone with a very elegant balck-matt finish and the keypad is just an ordinary cellphone with a stylus siempre.

kaso di rin ako gano marunong magbasa ng specs kaya di ako sure kung ok.

magkano kaya sa pinas to?RMB5,500 (P34,000) kasi dito china eh, should be cheaper in HK though.

this is for the stealth? around 29k lang sya dito. mall price pa yun, sa ambassador ko nakita park square. they are offering this on installment basis din.
wala syang 3g, otherwise complete phone if you ask me. I have a mini and kulang lang talaga dito is wifi capability which meron sa stealth.

I think with pda phones mas mahal sa china because you're getting charged for the chinese os. yan ang explanation ng ate ko why mas mahal ang ibang phones sa taiwan.

O2 Atom. Ok yan.

there shouldn't be any compatibility problems, we usually get our phones from taiwan, no issues naman. basta gsm 900/1800 compatible pwede.


mga suggested models ko:

o2 stealth - slider phone with standard keypad para sa mga sanay sa normal phones. screen is slightly smaller than sa other o2 models like the mini. if ur new to pda phones, very good phone to help you transition. value for money altho di lang nga sya 3G.
approximately Php29k

approximately Php45k

o2 phones are ok and so are IPAQs.
the SE P990 can also support as such.

and yes, phones bought in HK can be used here. just make sure they are open lined already.i used to get my phones there.

a question comes to mind, can your wifey handle a high-tech gadget and use it's full potential and not just use it as a glorified telephone?

I know someone who had never used her celfone beyond call & txt features even if it has digital camera, internet via GPRS, FM radio, alarm clock, scheduler, etc.

im sure she can handle a PDA. anyway marami syang cellphones, pero i wanted something more high-tech at sophisticated lalo mahilig tumambay sa starbuko, sarap ng alang trabaho no?

Kung available ang mga Asus PDA Phone i think sulit eto kasi seamless sync with the PC and may Skype

[boybi]

Asus PDA Phones are available at Wellcom shops. I bought my Asus P525 from them last November. Haven't tried Skype yet as I have not signed up for an account with Skype, but from what I read from other internet forums, when using Skype, the sound comes out from the rear loud speaker. Which means there's no privacy when using Skype for calling.

P990i

I have mine for a month now, and can honestly say I didnt have any problem with my phone. F/W is R7A001

I have installed Google Earth Mobile and is working fine.
Wifi is working too, paired it with my Siemens Gigaset bought in Switzerland, no problem! web access is almost the same speed when using 3G as a stand alone web browser.
Quick Office is also handy....
and most of all it still looks, and feel like a phone and not a PDA. just my opinion

[tsupermario]

wala naka try ng SE m600i dito? ganda kc ng white :D

[boybi]

wala kasing camera ang M600.

Sir pakipublish naman 'yong settings ng P990 unit n'yo. Just bought my wife a unit, and tried to set up the 3G using the Smart auto setup, kaso feel ko may mali, kasi laging failed to send MMS siya, pero nakaka-receive naman ng MMS... did tried browsing the web using the builtin browser feel slow too although may 3G coverage dito sa amin... by the way the unit hs Swisscom na tatak sa harap instead of the P990.
Pano din pala i-check 'yong F/W version? Did check the users guide, but it doesn't tell it.
TIA.

E61 is nice phone to operate. very simple and fast. sa HK kabi-kabilaan ang Wireless internet, kahit saan kami tumigil at magpahinga, may free internet access ako. the screen is ok na din for viewing websites.

yun nga lang HK proved to me that I dont need the E61 nor anymore PDA phone with Wifi. ang hirap dalhin pag naglilibot/nag-totour, very bulky sya dalhin

so I sold it shorty after my return here hehehe
