PDA phone review
phone that i've own n used over the last few years
click on it to have a bigger/clearer photo
- siemens S65 (1st business phone), rest are all PDA :
- sony ericsson p900 (symbian)
- o2 xda mini (pocket pc)
- hp rw6828 (WM5)
- treo 650 blue edition (palm)
- sony ericsson p990 (symbian)
winner : PALM OS
functionality, usability & user friendly wise, palm OS & treo 650 series phone win have no direct competitor.
super stable palm OS
only disadvantages for asia market : no wifi & 3G (or rather too slow to adopt)
software for palm rank the best among all pda users, easier installation & deletion
sms for treo is the best in the world
user friendly - no direct competitor
symbian OS
slow on both sony ericsson, a bit retarded but nevertheless the symbian still much stable & reliable than windows wm5 & pp2003
less software catered for symbian, less developer
user menu/gui not so intuitive
windows
pocket pc 2003 & WM5
my 02 mini (all running pp2003) have 2 batteries
internal battery are for program retention, alive for at most 72 hours
if u left yr o2 mini battery flat & internal battery flat too.. good luck to you, u need to reinstall all yr program & games, redo all the setup & configuration
hp rw6828
worst of all of them
less than a year, send back for 4 times (coming to 5 times)
design in asia for asia - sucks
everything is not right.. i do hope some qualify engineer or the product specialist from HP can contact me on this issue
summary
both pp2003 & wm5 are not reliable, need constant restarting daily unless you just bought it n use it as a phone & some appointment, super basic usage
i do agree, part of the fault also due to the initiative of hardware developer like o2 & hp.. depends on how they maximize the adv of windows while minimize the disadvantage of the pp2003 or wm5
wm6 - yet tried
for pda lovers.. if you're those who're very adventures & like to explore the full function of it.. avoid pp2003/wm5 and go for symbian or palm
i do hope palm will spend more on research & speed up their development
