PDA Phones

Post by Lt. Sniper » 30 November 04 8:00 pm

Anyone here have a PDA phone such as the XDA or XDAII, Ipaq 6315 or any of the Treo or Palm One phones?

What are you opinions on the devices?

we had an XDA II
the pocket pc interface was terrible compared to the palm. it seemed to take double the number of "clicks" to do anything, eg set up an appointment, make a call, etc
plus it was biiiig
we hated it so much we ended up giving it away
we've got our eye on a blackberry at the moment

The Treo looks like a pretty sweet device IMO. I had a play with an earlier model, and really liked it.

I have an XDAII and I use it with OZiCE & a bluetooth GPS

I love it...

Hmm.. compaired to a palm, it's easier in that it runs M$ products seamlessly. Making appointsment etc is longer cos it stores more detail.

Is it that much larger than other PDA's with the same size screen?

Each to their own, a blackberry? better fire up google.

Also there is a XDAIIs out soon...
