PDA?

[Shibby]

I noticed that the stores don't really carry much. I looked at amazon and there are a lot of pocket PC's and stuff. I'm not really sure what's good and what is just flashy.

PDA? Pocket PC? is this 1999? lmao.

they have been replaced by smart phones bro. blackberry pearl, iphone and shit like that.

all a waste of money IMO.

[NewbieChris]

I have had PDA's and PDA phones and never ever used them. Don't know why.

[Shibby]

My wife was wanting one that had the stuff like Word. The phones are around $300 to $500 and that's way to much.

get a smartphone ... PDA's are dead.

i would think about what you plan on doing with it? email?

[Shibby]

She wants it too use as a planner and to review papers she writes during her breaks.

With a new contract you can get some excellent deals on smart phones. The only problem then is that you have to pay the monthly fee to use them.

I was trying not to extend my contract. Right now it's in my grandparents name and once the contract is up we are going to put it ours. I know there is a monthly data fee, but she really isn't getting it for the online stuff.

I though this was gonna be about Public Displays of Affections (PDA's), lol.

it is an absolute waste of money. like has been said, the only way you are going to get one is via a smart phone. for someone that is trying to save money, that is just a stupid move.

you have a computer, use that for word and whatever else she needs.

You can get PDA phones without the data plan. I removed the data from my phone because I was never using the internet and I wasn't forwarding emails to it anymore.

and that is a waste of money too.

[NewbieChris]

and that is a waste of money too.

I didn't say it wasn't.

just trying to make the point to shibby to not go out and spend money on "rubbish" as the British would say. :P

[Shibby]

The guy at the AT&T store said that you can get unlocked phones much cheaper through places like amazon or ebay. We are kind of looking at that. As for a pocket pc being a waste of money, it all depends on the person. Plus the pocket PC can connect to wifi without extra service and there is WiFi all over campus.
