Good PDA Phone, any suggestions?

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.

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

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.

the only con about using a blackberry is that if you want to avail of the blackberry service, you have to pay extra on top of your monthly plan. but, if your wife's company has a company-provided blackberry service, then no problem. in this regard, it probably wouldn't make sense to get a blackberry phone without availing of the blackberry service. for the price of the unit, you could probably a non-blackberry phone with even better connectivity features (wifi, 36, hsdpa).

btw, there is now yahoo messenger and google talk for blackberry, which your wife can install and show off to her friends while she's in starbucks

it's one of the most nakaka-aliw features of the bb pearl for me.

as for non-blackberry pdas, i highly recommend the treo 650, which is what i've been using the past year or so. you can probably get the treo 680 (a minor upgrade to the 650) for a lower price than getting a brand new 650.

i'd recommend sana Dopod 900.. the most complete PDA's i've used.. categorized na nga as sub-notebook sa tindi ng features.. but since it's for the wifey baka hindi bumagay kasi malaki.. pero kung techie siya for sure swak yun..
