The PDA thread.

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 07 Jan 2006, 20:00

Do you have a PDA?
I'm curious as to how many PC enthusiasts have PDAs?
If you don't have one, would you like one? Or do you think it's stupid?

I have an HP iPaq hx2750 and i LOVE it! It's SUPER fast!! (624Mhz!!!)

So what do you guys think?

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 07 Jan 2006, 20:06

I would like to get one for free, but I wont buy one! But I must admit it's cool, but i'd rather pay less for a PSP!

I think it's appropriate depending what you need it for. I don't need one personally, but a friend of mine wants one, because he's a rep for some company and needs it to list all his clients.

Not sure about PC enthusiasts though?

More for business.

I would never buy one, i got this one from someone. But it's fantastic!! Super fast!! Can do anything on it! I'm posting this very thread on my PDA!!

I have a HP4150 and a HX4700.

I use it a lot for work-related matters. The 4" screen on the HX4700 is fantastic. 480x600 VGA.

Nice.

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 07 Jan 2006, 20:51

yeah, the only difference between my hx2750 and your hx4700 is the screen. The screen on the hx4700 is AMAZING!!

MrBean · Post by **MrBean** » 07 Jan 2006, 21:10

Yip, I got my one colleague th 2750, nice in it's own way.

Ergonomically beter designed than my magnesium-cased 4700

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 07 Jan 2006, 21:21

Yeah, it's nice and comfy in my hand. Also has nice rubbery support incase you drop it and a screen cover too.

I use an i-mate JAM for my everyday tasks.. its a PDA + cellphone! very good ergonomics, relatively fast (416MHz) plus it came free!

MSN messenger is sooo cool when ur not near a PC! Just waiting for the newer windows mobile 5.0 based K-JAM when my contract renews in june.

I got a hp4150, pretty usefull little tool.
I use when i'm out in the field, as carrying a laptop is just to clumbersome.

Would love to get the hx4700 but since my pda still does everything i ask it, i can't really warrant the upgrade.

jPm · Post by **jPm** » 07 Jan 2006, 23:14

atm, got a ipaq h6340, very nice, already had a HX4700 (best ipaq), imate JAM, and PDA 2k,

I prefer the ipaq software than the imate pre-installed one

PDAs are awesome, especially as i use it for varsity, with my cad stuff

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 08 Jan 2006, 01:36

No i'm getting interested in PDA's

Which is better?

Fujitsu Siemens POCKET LOOX 720 or Toshiba E800

And where can I get them?

jPm · Post by **jPm** » 08 Jan 2006, 02:08

they both should be good,although the Siemens had a great review in a pcformat mag i read!!!

BTW, anybody playing AGE OF EMPIRES for PPC, awesome, has the same gfx as the PC version!!

Quake is also kewl, would be better if some1 would challenge over GPRS though

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 08 Jan 2006, 07:51

Where can i get quake? I'll challenge you over GPRS. Please post a link.

jPm · Post by **jPm** » 08 Jan 2006, 13:30

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 08 Jan 2006, 14:59

Okay, i've changed the name of the thread. From now on, this can be the PDA thread (thanks monty!!). The thread where we can talk about programs, organise quake games(YEAH!!), show off our desktops etc etc...

So does anyone know of any quake servers?

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 08 Jan 2006, 15:11
