  • PDA/Smartphone

    Ok Guys, there are some high tech boys out there, I am looking to get a new PDA/Phone, I have looked at the HP 6819 (Ipaq), and the HTC TyTN, and like the look of both of them, anyone had any experience of any of these and want to advise/put me off. or suggest an alternative, has to run on Vodafone
    Cheers

    I liked the TyTN. I bought one, it was OK but as a Mac user it was horrible to use. WM5 just spawns windows like there is no tomorrow and I seemed to spend all my time closing them :rolleyes: Then the microphone went tits up in the 2nd week so I got my money back and I'm back using my Treo 650 until something better turns up. At the moment everything seems to be WM5 so unless I go for another P900 type offering from SE I'll be keeping my Treo until it dies :(

      Thanks Phil, using windows and want it sync with MS Office, so that has to be a consideration, but interesting about the mike.

        It is a nice bit of kit but was just irritating to use. Also the keyboard had a sort of lag and often missed keys but if you search on net it is a common problem with it :rolleyes:

          why not have a pda and a phone (seperates). that way if one packs up then you still have the other.

          I personally use the Axim 51v with the bluetooth sat nav kit....it also connects to the phone.

          ppl slate dell but the service I have got from them has been mega....The wireless started to play up a bit so gave them a call and next day a new axim was on my doorstep.

          I had a gripe with the sat nav nothing major just wasn't keen on the way it did certain things...hey presto one phone call and not just new reciever but a complete new version was sent out next day.

          can't say fairer than that!

          try getting that service from your spotty sales boy on the high street.

            I currently have that situation, of phone and PDA, I just want to combine the two, and with syncing with the PC loosing data is not a problem.

              What about [url]http://www.nokia.com/nseries/index.html#product,n91_8gb[/url]

              Don't know if this is the sort of thing you are after?

              I used to like the Nokia Communicators.

                      The Nokia 9300i works great for me.

                      Very good keyboard, no more stylus hassle....:D
                      WiFi, word, excel, very good screen etc etc etc.

                          I've been using an O2 XDA Mini S (HTC Wizard) and it works well for me, battery life is reasonable and it sync's with Outlook with no fuss. I've been using a Pocket PC for a few years now and combining my mobile with the PDA means I've got all the information I need with me plus being able to send & receive emails on the move. The only down side is that browsing the net is a pretty miserable experience.
