I personally really like the UTStarcoms. The main reason behind my logic is the screen size. I like my PDA to have a large screen so when I do write on it or use it to view something its not so hard to read. Granted the Palms, Blackjacks have very nice screens, but they are just to small for what I use them for. The UTS has that nice slideout keyboard with decent size keys so you arent sitting there using a pencil to input data, or you have the finger size of a six year old. Like I said if I didnt work in such a hazardous cell phone enviroment that would be my phone. Is it bigger than some of the other phones? yes. IMHO phones these days are almost too small. You cant even take most of the new cell phones and lean them against your shoulder. Granted I use bluetooth to connect to my phone mostly, but when its a quick call my little motorola feels like a toy in my hand, one slip and it could break.

Any PDA phone is nice regardless, just make sure you get one that will support a nice SD card. I laugh at all the kids with ipods in class, they are like what good is that thing? I say well besides the 2GB SD card, it also plays video, has wireless internet built in, and I can play Tiger Woods 07 when the teacher is about to put me to sleep.

 

yup, thats the one, however i dont think cingular offered the windows version when i bought mine, only the palm os

 

hrm, not sure. our company goes through sprint. the previous treos they had were the Palm softare, it was when we switched to the 650s they came with win mobile 5.0.

 

I know that just because it says Apple on it, you instantly hate it, but that new iPhone is going to be freaking incredible. I had the chance to mess around with a prototype model at an electronics show. They're unbelievablely powerful, but you would have to wait until June.

 

Big deal ipod with a phone... who really cares? The reason you buy a pocketpc with a phone is because you want and or need to carry files around with you. Sure it has OS X on it, but in such limited form its ridiculous. Sure it has 4 GB or 8GB storage, but does it have removable memory? No. I can buy a8 GB SD Card for any pocket PC or palm for $70 and make the iphone obsolete. Add the fact that the iphone will be set to work with only ONE carrier... talk about a market killer.

Sorry but IMHO the apple iphone is something that every other PDA phone has had for awhile.

 

so i got the UTSTARCOM PPC6700 on ebay for 220 shipped. i know just need to unlock it from alltel becouse they dont serve my area. whats a good company???
and my friend is ganna give me his black razr for 80 bucks.

edit: o yea and a 4 gb minisd card.

 

Would probably hit up verizon, but thats just me

 

Verizon is what I have and I love it. A co-worker has Sprint and bitches that he has no signal out at the remote parts of base.

 

verizon it is. thanks
